Devastating RIP Paul Walker. I still can't believe he was killed in a car accident today. We lost an amazing actor :( |
I couldn't believe it, and the irony. I read so many that it was a hoax, but sadly it was not. RIP Paul. |
I wonder if they already filmed Fast 7 and if not how are they going to finish the series. |
I just read it too..... RIP Paul Walker |
How awful. I always thought he was a great actor and it makes me sad that the need for a thrill snuffed out someone with so much to give. I feel just awful for his daughter, Meadow. RIP Paul... |
may he rip I was so praying it was a hoax. |

Did you guys see the pics of the car? I was totally speechless. I wonder what happened, for a pro driver in a high performance car to lose control like that. |
Ugh so depressing! I honestly could not believe it when it first surfaced. I definitely thought it was a hoax. RIP. |
Hearing this makes me so sad! I have thought about him through out the day. It is such a loss to all.....make he rest in peace! |
Maybe I'm cold for saying this, but a guy smashing his car into a light pole and killing he and his passenger while speeding? It's known to happen. I don't have any sympathy for someone who dies doing something stupid like that on a city street where he could have lost control and plowed into a mother walking with her kids on the sidewalk or an innocent driver doing the posted speed limit. Lucky for the innocent witness on the road who said he was 30 seconds away from those jerks crashing into and killing him too. No amount of charity work could make up for killing another person. |
Wow...... So you're telling me you've never driven a high performance car before and went over the speed limit for a few seconds for kicks? You never know what can happen. Even in a safe car like a Volvo, or a fast car like a Porsche. |
It's not like he murdered someone and the tried to make it up by doing charity work. He died while doing charity work, and it was an accident. |
WHAT? Omg, just seeing this now. How terribly sad :(. I really liked him as an actor. |
It's the same way I feel about drunk drivers. It would have been a tragedy if those two had killed someone innocent, but luckily only they had to suffer the immediate consequences of their decisions and no one else. |

I'm not capable of judging the situation as 'stupid' or not bc I didn't see it nor do I know all the contributing factors, but I do know it's tragic to lose a family member, no matter how they go. For all we know, maybe they were going 30mph. Regardless though, a loss is tragic for those close to them. |

It is all so very sad. It sounds like it was a steering wheel fluid leak so that was definitely a factor :( Those poor children that lost there fathers... |
If it's true it was steering fluid leak, then Porsche better recall those cars. I see big time law suit. |
Looks like I was wrong; according to NBC they were only going 40-45 MPH. The LA Times article said the police were looking at it as a case of speeding, but apparently that's not the case. I shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion from initial reports and from seeing the car look completely trashed: it's a horrible thing to hit a rigid object like that pole and a car has no choice but to wrap around it when it can't immediately knock the thing out of the ground. RIP and apologies to any fans of Walker I may have offended. |

The video of the actual crash doesn't look like they were traveling at a ridiculous rate of speed. Maybe braking hard by the time the car enters the frame. |
I never saw the movies and had not heard his name until the accident but I must say he was one heck of a good looking guy and from I have read very charitable. A couple of things that I read that no one mentioned here is the area they were in was known for street racing, but it was sort of an industrial park with little traffic and even less so on a weekend. Also the reason the car looks so mangled and the bodies not easy to recognize is during the crash they hit a gas line and the car was almost instantly in gulfed in flames. who knows what the outcome might have been had they not hit the gas line, probably not good but maybe not so bad as well. |

I think Paul Walker and his friend were likely killed on impact, hitting the light pole that fell to the ground. I looked at Google maps of the area where the car shop and this crash occurred. Reminds me very much of the 1 mile loop of my neighborhood. I can't believe the speed limit is 45 mph on the straightaways and then drops to 15 at the curves. That is crazy! However, it looks like they were traveling on the straight part when they crashed. Even if all of the steering fluid fell out, that wouldn't mean the car would be impossible to steer. It would just be harder. Such a perplexing and tragic accident. |
I guess I should know better than to listen to my husband:D, but it does sound confusing on what happened since a fire broke out before anyone could get to them, very sad that is for sure. |

I'm no expert either. I just know those cars have the engine in the back. No idea where the fast dank is though. Prob mid near the bottom? Some times those types of cars even have the gas tank behind the cockpit. |

Ok apologies about typing on the ipad. Gas tank, not fast dank. |
