That really sucks. More I read about him, more I like him for his giving to community.
Most millionaires don't even bother.
RIP

That's why I hate driving. People are always on their fuckin' phone. They don't realize that they can kill themselves that way. Or worse, they can kill someone else.RaNDM G said:
R.I.P. Paul Walker. I wasn't a fan, but it's always sad when someone universally liked dies. And I don't really know anyone who didn't like this guy.
As tragic as this story is a question needs to be raised..... How does billions of dollars into engineering for car safety and strength get beaten by the humble wood bearing tree? Is this GTA physics at work?Super Not Cosmo said:
Geez the irony is strong
That really sucks. Especially with the charity event and all. Can't say I was a fan but it always sucks when people die so young. Did his friend lose control? Did somebody else crash into them? Do we have details?
Also, I fully expect people to make fun of the fact that he was so popular for car movies and then died in a car accident.

i bet they were traveling few times more the legal speed limit, tree just can't do that much damage to a car with carbon fiber monocoque and subframe traveling at city speed limit.

Hundreds... Thousands of people die in car accidents every day, heck, most of them are innocent bystanders and not the ones behind the wheel of a speeding vehicle.
But the person that died just happens to be famous, everyone loses their shit and starts weeping condolences.
That's really sad :C He's one of those actors that was always super recognizable and I always associated him with childhood (well not quite childhood, but being a young teen) since he was so crazy popular in the early 2000's. I always get a little tug at the heartstrings when an actor that I associated strongly with a certain part of my life dies. Heath Ledger hit me really hard (way harder than Paul, tbh).
First to get the sentiments out of the way, this really sucks because I liked the guy both in his movies and out, and my wife and I love the Fast and Furious series... The irony of this is just horrible, too horrible to make jokes. Also is a grim reminder of Ryan Dunn of the Jackass crew's death. The difference here though is Paul Walker was just a passenger.
This leads me to another point, where people scream about gun control yet more folks are killed in car wrecks yearly than by guns (not taking suicide by gun into account) yet there's little done to make car companies make safer cars. Remember when cars where made of steel, not just the frames? I'll bet most of you don't. And before folk go on about how guns are more dangerous, there's more cars on the road than guns owned and no way to tell if the drivers of those cars are anywhere near responsible drivers. I've been licensed since 15 (learner's permit) and have yet to have an at-fault accident, only 2 one of which was a fender bender and the other where an uninsured illegal immigrant didn't obey a stop sign and pulled out in front of my car totaling it, and the dude sped off and ditched the car and then called it in as stolen.
Plus on a daily basis I see dumbass people who drive like maniacs at high speeds... like going 20 mph over the limit is really going to make a huge difference time-wise... Slow the fuck down, watch out for other people and share the fucking road people. Also lay off driving if you're going to drink, I've lost too many friends to both their own stupidity and other folk's stupidity to feel anything but disappointment and disgust when I hear of these accidents.
