Even these aren't invincible (really bad T-Bird accident with fatalies inside).

No matter how much steel you wrap yourself in, you're still only as safe as you drive. :disappoin

Holy ! I guess that white blanket is covering the driver?

Hooray for the Unibody! Notice the hood is completely untouched.

Wow... how in the hell do you cut the car completely in half... as you said, WITHOUT damaging the hood.

I'm going to hazard a guess that speed was a hefty factor.

I started reading the artical and totally forgot about another lost T-bird. It puts it all in perspective, doesn't it?

Certainly. I just read the article on the crash. After seeing the other photo, I'm amazed only one was killed.

*edit* Just started the other one. Turns out the one in critical condition didn't make it either.

Actually two where killed. The two who were in the front seats. One dead at the scene and the 15 year old driver died later.
 
EDIT: you beat me to it.

Maybe we can get this thread deleted. All of a sudden it's become more than a little innapropriate. I was looking for a picture of a T-bird door for the other thread, and found that image. No story attached to it.

Yeah not a pleasant topic.  But if I may, doesn't it look like the front end is a 83-86?
pro-five-oh

88 Cougar XR-7...5.0HO, T-56, and much more                             
85 Thunderbird 30th...#2471, 29k, all original and might actually stay that way

Yeah. It shows just how much fox bodies like to swap ends. A 200' skid at only 100kph (60mph). Another reason why I will never drive it in the winter. Splitting in half is scary enough.
