Quote: “Also, was the car one of those that have automatic lights?”

If it was a late 70’s model Fiat, then the design itself would actually kill any human being that comes into contact with it given, its absolute repulsive ugliness.

Flash photography. Probably blinded the driver for an instant.

Or just headlights. i drive enough streets with speed-bumps, and hilly roads, to know that if you change the vertical angle from one vehicle to another, an ordinary headlight -- let alone one of those dangerously bright bluish halogens -- can look a lot like a blinding flash.

Thats’ not what I said - I simply made the point.

I also made clear he has done a hell of a lot for charity in our country and has adopted it as his home. I welcome him.

Everything he does is a ploy for citizenship. How can he have done a "fantastic job at Harrods"? He bought a London landmark and kept it the same. It hasn't changed for 50 years (a good thing) and that shrine to Dodi and Diana is an embarrassment.

Yeah, any idiot could take an established company and maintain its profitability. That's why Sears is still the world's largest retailer, A&P is the largest grocery chain in the US, and GM and Ford dominate the worldwide automotive industry.

"Even the drunk driver buckled up and lived."

Wrong! The drunk driver was killed. It was the (sober) bodyguard, riding in the front seat with the driver, who used his seat belt and lived.

Thanks. I did already see that from Slings And Arrows' Non-Ping ping list.

The DEROS & TEROS crap is from ca 1940-1960, and is loosely based on the 'hollow earth full of aliens/Nazis/Atlanteans/UFO bases/???" fostered by Ray Palmer & his Amazing, Fantastic, Fate, and other pulp magazines.

OTOH, the DEROS may really exist, because the late, great Long John Neville had a guest on his late-night talk show (which long pre-dated Art Bell/Coast-to-Coast, which is similar) who "REALLY" had accidentally accessed their tunnels by going to the lowest sub-basement of a Chicago skyscraper, then pressing the elevator's button twice! "He barely escaped to tell the tale!" LOL

I've about given up on "new" sci-fi, because I either read or watched nearly all of it 30-50 years ago. The names and the tech changes, but the stories (and cliches!) are the same; rarely is there a new twist.

My thought it was the driver, leaving his pants behind, um, in the seat, as he went through the windshield, er, windscreen.

I love the smell of a conspiracy nut in the morning. Got your tinsel foil hat on, do you?

“But then again I am and have been forever a die hard Diana fan. Not that she was perfect, but darnit she was close!”

Oh yeah, she was perfect all right. Perfectly nutz. How about when she threw herself down a flight of stairs while pregnant before a horrified Prince Charles, because she was mad at him? And, let’s see, there was the bulimia, and the fact that she was what is known in psychiatric terms as a “delicate cutter”, in other words, she would take a sharp object, or a knife, and make cut marks up and down her arms to make herself feel better. And her attempts to undermine the whole royal house with her books and comments on TV. Oh, and then there was her own promiscuous behavior, her stalking of one of her boyfriends to the point he had to contact the authorities to get her to stop, and her penchant for wanting relationships with Muzzies, probably just to wipe it in Charles’ face. But then again Diana was almost perfect. What a joke.

She has been “diagnosed” as a borderline personality in biographies of her since her death. I know this is always an iffy proposition when practiced by a biographer, but she sure seems to fit the profile, including the intense, brief-duration mood swings, the expectation of huge amounts of concentrated attention from her small circle of friends and lovers (many friends had to drop out because they could not sustain this, and others were dropped by Diana often for no reason that they could ever figure out), the making of crises out of trifling events, the bulimia and the half-hearted attempts to do herself harm especially the self cutting. She seems to have displayed a classic case of the condition.

Not that that doesn’t mean he could be drunk.

I always thought the blood tests showing him drunk AND on drugs was a little over the top. Seemed a little too convenient to me.

But in car as well engineered as that Mercedes if they had only worn their seatbelts they would probably be alive.

It was all leading up to this: Diana and Dodi were probably to be married.That meant that the heir to the British throne and also to be the head of the Church of England would be living outside the UK and have a Muslim step father.NO WAY was a Muslim ever going to be a part of the royal family so Dodi had to be eliminated.The primary target wasn’t Diana but she was expendable if it came to that.

I’ve said it before. Di and Dodi should have known better then to hire a driver named Toonces. They were just asking for it.
