These guys have been nominated for a Darwin Award, right?

No more than we'd nominate you for one if your brakes failed after you "recklessly" took your car all the way to the speed limit.

"No more than we'd nominate you for one if your brakes failed after you "recklessly" took your car all the way to the speed limit."

Sorry, but I'm having a little trouble buying your spin here.

From the transcript:




"Man, we can do it, 41-it," said Cesarz at 9:48 p.m. A minute later, Rhodes said, "40 thousand, baby."

"Two minutes later, "There's 41-0, my man," Cesarz said. "Made it, man."

"At 9:52 p.m., one of the pilots popped a can of Pepsi and they joked about drinking beer. A minute later, Cesarz said, "This is the greatest thing, no way."




According to your analogy, then, we can expect the exact same kind of attitude in drivers approaching the speed limit.




"Man, we can do it, 55-it," said Cesarz at 9:48 p.m. A minute later, Rhodes said, "50 miles per hour, baby."

"Two minutes later, "There's 55 mph, my man," Cesarz said. "Made it, man."

"At 9:52 p.m., one of the pilots popped a can of Pepsi and they joked about drinking beer. A minute later, Cesarz said, "This is the greatest thing, no way."




Just doesn't work, does it?
