Adrian@TORQEN Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Just watching it as well, I was youtubing Martin Donnelly's crash in 1990, thought it was a fatal crash, but amazingly he survived! Quote
Will370z Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 His leg was at a really dodgy angle. Shows how things have advanced since then, both with car safety and safety facilities at the tracks. On that video no one was doing anything for ages. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 6 bloody inches... and he would have survived Quote
Wendy Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I was watching the Grand Prix when the Senna crash happened and was shouting at the TV due to feeling no - one did anything for ages. Certainly not was portrayed in the film, so I think that has cut. Quote
rabbitstew Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 The film version with all the extra footage etc was the better version. Still very good film. Quote
coldel Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Saw it at the cinema, it was very eerie to look around at faces when the inevitable crash happened at the end. Its like we were all waiting for something that no one wanted to see. I was also watching it live on TV when it happened, Murray Walker was in pieces commentating. He heard that Senna was DOA at the hospital and was reporting it out whilst the grand prix was still on going. He was just breaking up and you could hear him crying live on air. Quote
