I'm loling at the misfortune of those who are more fortunate than me.
Fucking prissy rich kids smash a car that is worth like... 6 times my current salary into a tree and I hardly shed a tear.

Shit that's sad. I blame the father for raising such a shitty kid, who's killed the kids of 8 other people.
Both rich and poor kids do stupid shit, stfu

Arrogant & full of pride. Like Wall Street, they were so full of themselves that they never took care for the road running out. At 140, you'd need at least 500 feet & maybe more to slow down. You'd want a couple hundred feet of cushion between you & the end too. 140mph is 200 feet/sec.
If they were going even 60, 200 feet from the end: it could have been fucked up.
A rich kid would surely have flown enough to have seen all the shitty junk at the ends of runways. How many have any stuff worth driving a sports car on there?

"Partially ejected" - what do you suppose that means? Like they were hanging out of the car, or parts of them were ejected?

Police say after racing down the strip, the car flew off an approximately 85-foot-high embankment at the end of the runway. They say the car was going so fast it went airborne for about 200 feet before slamming into a tree.
for some reason i laughed very hard at this part. I just got a hilarious mental picture of it.
vroom vroom...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I'm gonna say old but only because one of my friends from college is from that town and knew those kids, and I heard about this a year ago when it happened. The article says Trovolta lives there but IIRC it was his private runway.

...an 18 year old behind the wheel of an M5 is what accidents are made of...

Holy shit, why does everything stupid happen near where I live? Florida sucks majorly.
I've never heard of this story before either surprisingly. I would expect something like this to be all over the news.

Inverted snobbery. Like you've never done anything stupid.

thread where forum realizes it was one of their posters. Also has a newclip vid and links to updated news stories,
by the end there were reports of drag racing some witnesses saw a 2nd vehicle.

Good riddance.
and wear a seat belt..
Yeah, I'm sure if they wore seat belts while hitting a tree at 140mph everyone would have been fine :p.

It was all over the St Pete times for quite a while. Regardless, the best part is this lulzy little post the driver made
M5froth I completley understand where you are coming from assuming that I am irresponsible..that is definetly understandable. I do sometimes make bad decisions but I am young and I do drive safe and I will not endanger the lives of others..and I hope you are not under the impression that I am the one to brag, I have never been that way and never will. Plus I will have pictures up asap with me in the pictures. I have no reason to lie buddy.

Huh...I can't remember who posted this one when it happened? It was on Drudge back then (he lives in Florida). It sure is getting better posts this time. Last year it died quick.
OP: did you find it in relation to Travolta's kid? As you started it the same day T was all over the news.

I'm actually a friend of a friend of these kids and this literally happened like a year ago, I don't see why its up now.

That's fucking awesome. The only way it could have been more awesome is if they had taken out Travolta's plane just as he was landing.

As I said: it was probably found through looking at the T-son news story. It is a fairly classic death too.
What was the general speculation on the driver's fuck-up? Do you think he'd ever flown over/into that airport? At 200'+/sec, I can imagine that if there was a 2nd car he was paying attention to? He just might have lost touch. 1/4 mile in 6 seconds...
^^^I assume he was going 160MPH at 3 am an outran his headlights. The fact that he braked for 3 seconds before flying off the end at 100+ mph seems to support this.

I assumed everyone knew that by the dates on all the articles and forum posts... Anyway, it was posted here when it happened too.
I want pics of their mashed up bodies...

People with more money seem to be more spectacularly retarded though
A poor kid can't take a beemer to a fuckin airstrip and dick around at 140mph
