Freaky.

But I’ve wondered about the knockout gas theory. I’m no anesthesiologist but I’d bet that it takes a WHOLE LOT of gas to get the needed concentration in a huge space like a house. Usually when you hear about these cases it’s an enclosed space like a train compartment. Oh well, maybe they don’t want the details to leak.

On second thought, I think Jenson just put a big sign on his car “STEAL ME”.

Does nitrous make a car go faster...? :-)

Well, no idea what they’d used, if they’d used it.

Plus if they filled the house with gas they’d need respirators etc. etc.

Anybody that missed the Justin Wilson wreck, it was ugly.
Nose off Karam’s car goes flying into his cockpit at 200 mph.

They didn’t show any on the broadcast but maybe it was ruled too ugly to show. So far no updates from hospital, his wife is flying from Colorado to hospital in Penna.
