Heroism turns to absolute despair

"Grand Prix circuit racer Roger Williamson crashes hard on lap 8, rolls his car and catches fire. Yards away stood a fire tender, but no order was given to stop the race. Worse, marshals with fire extinguishers merely watched as friend and colleague David Purley fought a lone battle to right the upturned car. What happens next will break your heart"

Got news that is not older than me?
Yes. Iron Man will officially be appearing in the new Hulk movie, to finally start grouping the marvel universe together, happy?

Actually...it's movie-buff now (Iron-Man was one hell of a flick)...think I ever read the Iron Man and Hulk comics? Hell no, but I hear the Hulk in the comics is one messed up guy. He goes around eating and rapeing his victims IN THE COMICS, pretty brutal, not the Hulk you see in the movies

Disturbing video. Post #2 is equally disturbing.

I agree, very disturbing... how could you not try to do something knowing there is a person trapped inside there. And then to ignore the one person who IS trying to do something on top of it? Extremely disturbing...

Re: Heroism turns to absolute despair

That is so sad. I know everyone can't be a hero, but come on, how about a little care for your fellow man; would they not want the same?
