Richard Hammond Crash pictures released
January 18th, 2007
Today the images of Richard Hammond‘s high speed crash have been released by the BBC.
He was making an attempt at the British land speed (currently 300.3mph) record in the Thule Vampire, a 30-foot Rolls-Royce jet-powered dragster made in Sweden capable of reaching 272 mph in six seconds en route to a theoretical top speed of 370. The crash took place at over 280 mph.
I find it interesting that the BBC put this in the Entertainment section of the News site.
Richard is returning to the show when the new series starts on 28th Jan, and apparently the crash is going to be shown in full.
