Whoa... are you comparing war to an amusement for fun? Two different things! Go ask our soldiers if they are having fun.
People died for a chance to sell beer and popcorn to spectators. Not the same thing as war!
People didn’t go to the race to see anyone die, as they did in the Roman Gladiator days. They came to see racing, as they did many times before.
After this race gasoline was outlawed and other safety features were installed. I think this was where pressure feeds for fuel transfer was also outlawed and more fire equipment was placed around the track.
More people have died from heart attacks and heat stroke sitting in the stands watching the Indy 500 than have died racing in the event.
Should they stop the race because someone dies in the stands?
