Holy crap! This is a sad story, but you can barley make out that it is an M5 by the quick glimse of a wheel. The car is totally unrecognizable!

That's horrible. Not even worth thinking what was going through their heads as that car left the runway.

As I wrote in a previous post about this horrific crash ...
"Even the best of engineering can't compensate for stupidity ... these kids must have thought themselves invincible. I can't imagine who, in their right mind, would intentionally turn such a powerful car over to irresponsible young adults." (I previously wrote 'children' but at 18yrs of age they were just about to enter 'adulthood' and I realize that some would not consider them children.)
Unfortunately many people will blame the car, an M5, and not its owner or operator.
