I’ve read that it’s very rare for an accident, even one involving high speeds, to result in the type of intense fire that this one did.
Whatever was done to control the car, there was something else involved. A bomb is the most likely. A drone strike is also possible.
They wanted the make sure the driver was killed in a plausible way, and any physical evidence destroyed. A simple car crash might not have done that.
The car was seen speeding into a tree, I believe. A bomb or missile strike would have been after the high speed crash into the tree.
I agree. In years past I was a nationally licensed race track safety worker (flagging and communications) as well as being a certified first responder and firefighter.
I observed MANY high-speed wrecks in a class called Showroom Stock, aptly named as well as in the Improved Touring class. Fiery violent wrecks are memorable and I have no recollection of any fires like this one. Sure we had fires from resulting oil and fuel leaks, but NEVER like this. There were wrecks that had the motor flying out of the chassis, T-bones that were horrendously injuring, but none ‘exploded’ into flames.
You only get this sort of fire when the fuel tank is ruptured, NOT just leaking from a ruptured fuel LINE. It takes a lot of fuel to make a class B/A fire like his.
