Acest accident a distrus familii întregi, chiar și veteranii de război au fost îngroziți de brutalitatea lui. Dezastrul de la Le Mans 1955 rămâne cel mai mortal accident auto din istorie. „Dezastrul de la Le Mans din 1955 a fost un accident major care a avut loc la 11 iunie 1955 în timpul cursei de 24 de ore de la Le Mans de pe Circuitul de la Sarthe din Le Mans, Franța. Bucăți mari de resturi au zburat în mulțime, ucigând 83 de spectatori și francezi. pilotul Pierre Bouillin (care a concurat sub numele de Pierre Levegh) și a rănit încă aproape 180. A fost cel mai catastrofal accident din istoria sporturilor cu motor și a determinat Mercedes-Benz să se retragă din cursele cu motor până în 1989. Accidentul a început când pilotul Jaguar Mike Hawthorn a tras în partea dreaptă a pistei în fața șoferului Austin-Healey Lance Macklin și a început să frâneze pentru oprirea lui. Macklin a ocolit din spatele Jaguarului care încetinește în calea lui Levegh, care trecea pe stânga cu mult mai rapid său Elektron. Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR cu caroserie din aliaj de magneziu. Levegh s-a întors pe spate Macklin la viteză mare, depășind mașina lui Macklin și lansându-și propria mașină în aer. Mașina lui Levegh a sărit peste o bermă de pământ de protecție la 200 km/h (125 mph) și m a avut cel puțin două impacturi în zona spectatorilor, ultimul dintre care l-a provocat dezintegrarea, aruncându-l pe pistă unde a fost ucis instantaneu și trimițând bucăți mari de resturi în zona plină de spectatori din fața tribunei, inclusiv motorul. bloc, suspensie față și capotă. Partea din spate a mașinii lui Levegh a aterizat pe bermă și a explodat în flăcări. Au fost multe dezbateri despre vina. Ancheta oficială nu a considerat niciunul dintre șoferi în mod special responsabil și a criticat aspectul pistei vechi de 30 de ani, care nu fusese proiectat pentru mașini cu această viteză.” Mai multe pe Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /1955_Le_Mans_disaster Al doilea canal: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt93hxFmjppL5nLRAX94UrA Merch: https://teespring.com/stores/qxir Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/qxir Twitter: https:// twitter.com/QxirYT Discord: https://discord.gg/jZzvvwJ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/qxiryt/ Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Qxir/

There are so many tragedies in history that are unknown…interesting story…
Can’t even imagine what the survivors had to mentally go through. An engine hot af and heavy flying into the crowd of unaware people instantly killing them. Just imagine witnessing that up close horrible. That was a lot of force to make something about 350+ Lbs to go flying 30 feet.
Switzerland lifted the ban in 2022. So i think 2023 is open for auto racing again.
First world problems…
At least the cameras then were not able to capture colors
Hawthorne was 100% responsible for all that carnage. Who passes to get in front, just to brake?
I would have thought a professional driver would know not to pass then brake check.
A decade of peace?
The Israeli War if Independence
The Malaysian War of Independence
The Korean War
The Mau Mau War in Kenya
The Cyprus War for "Enosis".
The Vietnam War
If that's your idea of "peace", I'd hate to see what you'd call "war".
Is it bad that I laughed when I heard "…made of magnesium"? It was a nervous laugh 😳
Did they survive their injuries though?
Whenever I see this crash, I always think of Bobby Allison’s 1980s Talladega crash, where he lost a tire and flipped into the catch fence, tearing down a whole section, luckily spinning back onto the track. Had the car gone into the stands, that would’ve been the end of Nascar
A Corvette saved my life. Seattle threw me in the garbage can because my mom was too rich making 747s I was too smart so the MFers threw me in the garbage can. After graduating high school in Minneapolis the first thing I did back in Seattle was wreck my mom's Corvette but the steering wheel kept me from flying down to Tacoma.
I imagine it would be horrible for any ww2 survivors to witness that, after 10 years of peace suddenly witnessing people around you dying in an explosion, shrapnel flying everywhere, it would cause horrific flashbacks.
wow now I have a different opinion about jaguar we can see where their priorities were the race this was more important than human lives, they have not an ounce of dignity and respect no morals
Why overtake a car just to then cut them off in order to pit? Why overtake him if you're coming up on the pit area? If he was going to lap him anyway, then it had nothing to do with place. Hawthorne caused a catastrophic accident, and for what? I'm replaying the animation over and over trying to find the logic in his decision….
That's got to be the record for most people killed in a single car accident
🤔🍿
good coverage!!! misery always loves company 😀
The final musical piece was just….perfect. eerie, yet beautiful. Sad, yet hopeful. It really does encapsulate the feelings we can only dream of having. Until, those dreams become reality.
Nothing just an inchident
The Final Destination 5. Alls I'm gonna say.
this made me think of a different event. the 2011 reno air race crash! during rhe 49th national championship air race, a plane basically lost control and crashed into the grandstand so 11 people died and 70 others were injured. the cause of the crash is still debated, but this was and still is a massive deal especially in the aviation community
I've seen a lot of comments of people talking about how Hawthorn didn't care about the accident and how the race continued. At that period in racing the mob mentality was "Racing is dangerous. Always has, always will be, why change?" In the whole decade from 1950 to 1960 there were 16 deaths in Formula 1 and the Le Mans 24 Hour experienced 6 deaths. People had just come out of a War they saw and were used to death. Racing drivers were likened to soldiers ( a lot had served in WWII) as they knew the risks associated with going 100MPH+ in forests or towns.
Also the man who ran the Jaguar team Lofty England was was a bomber pilot in WWII, he for 4 years was fighting the Germans and was constantly told they were "the enemy" so the fact that he refused to withdraw his cars from the race was more because it was due to a German telling him to do so. Which in his staunch British/Winner eyes was seen as failure in an assignment, to represent Britain and destroy its arch rival Germany in France. Which everyone was doing back only 10 years previous.
I just cannot imagine how the race continued with that many people dying. Different times I guess. I can’t get enough of this channel
Those cars were so cool though!!
the engine block hurling into the crowd at high speeds is absolutely terrifying
I love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
There's a great animated short film about this accident on YouTube somewhere. I believe it's just called Le Mans '55
Cheery soul aren't you.
What a greedy bastard to keep racing anyway
ITS A SHAME THEY KEPT DRIVING WHILE 80 PEPOLE ARE DEAD .NO RESPECT.
If someone had made a formula 1 back then. That car would've been band from races.
Really good for the first 8 seconds then someone comes on and interrupts it and I switch off.
hawthorne did it.
🤣 Funny 🤣
Hawthorne caused it, didn’t pull out of the race, and then won first place? Makes life sound unfair until you realize he dies doing the same exact thing that caused the tragedy. That’s karma for you.
