I saw a video of the incident again a few days ago, can't remember where right now; that was exactly the same coverage as the vid already posted but lasted a bit longer instead of ending so quickly after the contact.

After the impact where the original vid ended, it focuses on Dana's car. You can see that the car doesn't flip over, it just lifts up at the front and then comes back down on its wheels, trundling down the track to a rest, and it amazed me how intact the car looked. Obviously it's a bit of a mess at the front but it seemed to hold together and the rear wing/rear suspension looks completely intact.

Having seen the impact I wasn't at all surprised that the injuries were fatal but I expected the car to have been blown apart like it was in the Brack accident. I'm not sure what the point of this is, it's just an observation. Had I been watching at the time and seen that I might have given him a chance.
