It was their time to go

[seneca]

Just read in the news that two men were test driving a 2016 Hellcat Challenger at the Buena Vista Regional Airport in Colorado. They had the airports permission for this little test drive. The runway is 8300 feet long. They left the end of the runway, traveled 315 feet and became airborne over a ravine, flipped end over end over another ravine and landed on the wheels some 800 feet from the end of the runway. Both men were killed. Their ages?... 71 and 76. Now that's what I call going out in style!!! You'll have a hard time convincing me that this was an " accident".

Dittos there. It was their last act of defiance. Too bad they totaled the car.

I think it would have hurt a lot.

I think it would have hurt a lot.

For a very brief moment.

That's crazy. They must not have had a sense for how fast they were going to be able to make any judgements on when to hit the brakes.

HiT the BRAKES? They were planning to FLY!
They felt something, but certainly not pain.
They were entering warp 9 and then out goes the light.
Hot dam, it just kick started my day !!!
God bless both of them, CHERRIES are rare nowadays.
