TMZ reporting that Paul Walker has died

  • gut
    People feel like they "know" these celebs, and with Twitter and interviews in some respects that's true vs. normal people we aren't close with.

    But plenty of people get upset when someone young dies tragically (and I hesitate to call this a tragedy in the true sense of the word). To be honest, I felt more empathy for that couple killed Thurs by that jackass doing 150mph.

    The Beatles predicted this over 40 yrs ago...when you play the Abbey Road album backwards it says "Paul is dead, Paul is dead, Paul is dead"...uncanny.

    Walkers Dad looks like Charlie Manson.

    Saw that he died of "thermal injuries".. fuck. I assume that means he died because of the fire, which would be awful.

    Yeah, I saw "trauma and burns." Fuck that.

    a few photos have leaked.....they're not up close but gruesome enough.

    Preliminary results don't really paint a complete picture.......they still don't even know how fast the car was traveling or if drugs/alcohol were involved

    Had a co-worker die in a fiery explosion in a garage changing a gas tank earlier this year, I can only imagine.

    Rodas's 8 year old was one of the first on the scene and tried to get his dad out of the wreckage.

    I would also assume the engine had something to do with it since it looked like it went all the way through the passenger compartment from the rear to the front.

    The fact that they had to use dental records to ID the bodies says enough.

    That has been reported, I guess we'll see if it is correct but the vehicle was reportedly "modded" - in a sense that it wouldn't be legal unless it was under extremely controlled situations on a public street.

    These happen in 3's. Wonder who will be the third? Hopefully someone annoying.
