Even my almost 30 year old Mercedes is built like a tank and runs fine. I would imagine a late model M-B is even safer. If he'd been in a Chevy or Suzuki, I might buy some of this.
“Trutherism” is not a real word. One of the techniques that these paid liars use is to invent a word or short phrase that can dismiss those they are trying to discredit through name calling.
The article is full of lies.
The circumstances of the crash were highly unusual and not consistent with a one car crash.
The following describes eyewitness accounts of the crash:
A witness said his car “suddenly jackknifed” before crossing the median and hitting a tree, causing a ferocious explosion that reportedly threw the engine block of the brand new Mercedes Hastings was driving 30 or 40 yards from the car. Mercedes engine blocks typically weigh between 290 and 540 pounds. It would take tremendous speed or force to throw one nearly half the length of a football field. “It sounded like a bomb went off in the middle of the night,” another witness told the TV station. “The house shook, my windows were rattling.”
Something is wrong here. Why is the author lying and saying not to look at the facts?

What makes a word “real”, pray tell? Is it “fake” until Webster’s gets around to recognizing it?
Try as I might, I can’t seem to find a photo of a car without a trailer “jackknifing.” Could you find me a picture of one? Because if there isn’t a picture, it didn’t happen.
As far as a car crash causing an explosion, my understanding is that is a very rare thing, but tragic when it does happen. Movie SFX people have to load cars up with incendiaries to get them to do that thing we see every time a car crashes on TV or in the movies. If I wanted to make something look like an accident, I think I’d be looking at some other way of staging it. OTOH, a burnt up car is a good way to eliminate a lot of forensic evidence.
“It would take tremendous speed or force to throw one nearly half the length of a football field.”
Actually, it would not take any additional force at all, because of a little something called “conservation of momentum”. If the engine somehow broke free of the vehicle it was mounted on, it would continue at the vehicle’s rate of speed until friction brought it to a stop.
