I am really sad for this actor, his friend and their families, but all the dancing around the fact that they were driving too fast makes me wary - the whole "the car was acting up, this is a car that needs respect, the driver was a professional so something must have happened, speed may have been a factor, etc..."
Looking at the pictures, it is pretty obvious that speed was definitely a factor: it may not be the reason casuing the impact, but it is definitely one of the reasons why the accident was deadly.
Am I the only one who finds the whole "watch the recording of the impact" thing really creepy and macabre?
My SO thinks I'm crazy because I always say the same thing. I tell him that I love him and to be careful. I tell my mom and my family that I love them and miss them every time we talk. I don't want those things left unsaid.
Your snowflake sounds like an awesome kid!!
"melted together" sounds like something teenagers on Pinterest will somehow manage to bastardise into those "true love" memes

I agree.
People I have known since childhood posted stuff like that on Facebook. I wanted to respond to some with, "Funny, since you said dick all to me when my Mom died." Just seemed like people being pricks for the sake of being a prick.
To add to the comments on parents or relatives doing interviews right after a death.... I quickly learned that you don't always react the way you would expect. In my family, I have always been known as 'the sensitive one'. My family didn't even tell me right away that our dog went missing because they were scared of how I would react. They always hesitated giving me bad news.
When my mom passed away in March, I was at my parents' place when the medical examiner called my Dad. I got on the other phone and asked questions for my Dad, asked if there was anything we needed to do on our end (ie paperwork, arrangements, I had never dealt with it before so I didn't know).
I called the funeral service place to arrange for body pick up and cremation.
I spoke to them about pricing for cards for the funeral.
I called the Church to make service arrangements.
I called my Mom's childhood best friend from another province, called the neighbor's, etc.
I cleaned up the spot in the living room where my Mom was sitting when she died.
The ONLY thing I cried at during the whole thing, was when I had to dump the rest of my mom's cup of tea out and wash the cup.
None of my family could believe how I was taking charge. So I have stopped judging how other's react. Sometimes that person may not even understand how they are reacting the way they are.

Holy balls, woman. I know it may be inappropriate, but I want to know what your response is, and also, to hear what sort of weak sauce that excuse for a teacher has to send back. Or if they wimp out and put their tail between their legs and don't respond at all. Which, given the circumstances, might be the best reaction. As long as they spend some time thinking about what they were doing.
You sound like a great mom, Mel. I mean that.

^ this. Mel, I very often don't agree with your views, but I respect the hell out of you and you're clearly raising a hell of a kid. Kudos.
well, that's nice of you guys to say. this particular teacher doesn't really answer my emails. my son says he's dyslexic... I don't know what he's doing teaching geometry if he's dyslexic but the misspelled words drive me insane. apparently, I have a way with words and my son likes to read what I have to say to his teachers BEFORE I send it. one incident this year left my son saying "you know, mom? I'm just going to talk to him about it myself. if you send that, he WILL CRY!". So, even though I'm positive the guy was out of line with my kid, the kid would rather handle it himself. Which, I do kind of enjoy because I like to know he can handle business if I'm not there to slap some sense into the idiots.
Kill him.
Kill her.
Kill It.
Kill everything... that IS the solution!
