What? Cars actually explode in reality when they hit something? I thought this only happens in movies and video games.
Oh well, good old video games teach us more important lessons then school every could.

They didn't say that the car exploded. But a leaking fuel and a spark will cause a fire though.
Anyway. R.I.P

I was a fan of Walker. Something is fishy about his death. I feel someone has set it up.

 

[BRUTAL]

Paul Walker was like my childhood hero, such a sad and untimely death.

Nah, It seems the "speed and the car" was a factor in the crash.

A 45 mph speed limit sign was attached to the light pole knocked down by the Porsche.

The car, which sold for $450,000 when new, is a notoriously difficult vehicle to handle, even for professional drivers, according to Autoweek magazine. A top driver called it "scary," the magazine reported Sunday. It is powered by a V-10, 610-hp engine.

Cars does not easily explode though.. I wonder how it exploded.

 

[BRUTAL]

I think it was because the style of the car had the engine at the back and the gas tank in the front, or something along those lines.

 

[tom_mai78101]

In that case, it's inevitable. Final Destination right there.

 

[vypur85]

I think vehicle that burns is considered 'explode'.

 

[ertaboy356b]

It's sad to know that there's a death hoax of him the day before he died.

Actually, the mistakes are not always in the drivers, but the Porsche GTs, are really powerful car, equipped with MR engine, make it harder to control but gives you more power on acceleration and and more torque at low RPM, besides, the car doesn't have ESC, which mostly city car and passenger car have...

Only if you're a shitty driver.
