anybody heard updates? It's kind of like the cruise ship deal, you go planning to have a great time and love life then things like this happen. Sad, but that's life.

Not even close. The people on the cruise ship had to deal with foul odors. These fans got serious injuries.

I think what she meant was you go somewhere planning to have a good time and then something you just don't expect happens.

Fox is reporting 28 fans injured, a child is one of the more serious injuries.

From Yahoo

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla – Twenty-eight fans were injured after a violent crash at Daytona International Speedway Saturday caused debris from a race car to fly into the grandstands. Fourteen were taken to area hospitals. Two are listed in critical condition. One of those has a life-threatening head injury, the other is a child. Both are stable, according to Byron Cogdell, a spokesman at Halifax Health.

At least nine ambulances rushed to the rear of the Campbell Grandstand as emergency workers scurried to help fans injured in the rows closest to the track after Kyle Larson's car violently tore through the fence, leaving his engine and tire behind. Other safety workers evacuated the scene of race fans.

Y! SPORTS

Pretty sad...

BTW...not that you seem to care, but ESPN now reporting the injuries up to 17...2 are major and at least 1 in surgery.
Have you been called a giant dick yet today? I know it's a late start and I'm getting here late so there's very little chance that I get to be first...

Technically, if he was sucking your dick he would be forced to stfu... sooooo, not much of a choice!
