Wow!!

I wonder what a w123 would look like after that?

With that solid cement wall I don't see how the separate passenger compartment could avoid the violence.

That collision really leaves an impression. At some primal level it shakes you up.

Anyone remember the pictures that were floating around on OD a year or two ago...the ones that were taken at the scene of the teen that ran off with daddy's Porshe and she ended up plowing it into a toll-booth somewhere out on the West Coast? She was purportedly going >90m.p.h. when she collected the concrete building...pretty much what you saw on that video bared out what happened to the Porshe...and the "gray-matter" that was left behind...along with the hair/scalp/skull pieces too.

Speed doesn't kill...it's the sudden stoppage that ends it all.
