So what, he has a car crash, no posts today yet about innocent victims of other car crashes where they have been mutilated, seriously injured or killed.
Its a shame to hear about this but the end of the day he is a nobody to a high % of people on here as lets face it how many people actually know him personally? very few if any. Do hope he pulls through though for his families sake etc.

People enjoy watching him on our TV's, he's part of our life, we make a choice to turn on our TV set's and listen/watch what he does/say.
That is why people care about what has happened to him, and wish him a speedy recovery.
As for Mr. X who had a car crash yesterday? Yes your right, I couldn't give a ****.

I saw this on another forum and thought some of you might be interested. All donations got to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance who took Richard to hospital

The point is that if you know someone, its easier to empathise with them, plus we all feel like TG is at risk and we generally (even though we bitch about it sometimes) really enjoy it, he seems a really nice bloke, may well be a **** but I dont know him, I suspect that the former is true.
I get paid to go to work, if I have an accident on the way there does that change anything ?
I sometimes read of hear about accidents and genuinely feel upset even though it is just mr X, the more you know about someone the more you can empathise but even when you dont its possible.
Thats the difference between those with Autism and the rest of us, perhaps you should get checked out, I suspect you are 'An Excellent Driver'.

jaytc2003 - could I suggest that if you have nothing more positive to say that you stop posting on this thread? I think we've got how you feel about it.

jaytc2003 - You have a right to express your feelings but I (and Chris L) think that they are inappropriate at this time considering the man is critically ill.
I don't think he should have volunteered to do this stunt. He's not even an experienced racing driver. He should have realised that driving a jet powered dragster is not in any way the same as driving a supercar at speed.
I just hope JC didn't bully him into this decision!

Chris L and Darkstar66, and anyone else if I have offended you. I do hope he gets better and pulls through for his sake and his families, as I wouldnt wish it on anyone. (I did also say this on my first post on this topic) My gripe is I see it is headline news in various papers today, and it makes me angry as the vast majority of the population have not heard of him and there are far more pressing news items that people should know about. This thread has just allowed me to air my views on it and blow off a bit of steam.

He also has a family to care for, another thing sadly lacking in the UK with all the silly chav families knocking sprogs out all the time, who couldn't give a toss about anything except their benefits.
Stop being such a ****, and have a bit of compassion, a fellow petrolhead has been injured.
Between people like you, and the do-gooders at the other end of the scale, we're doomed.

As for the "he gets paid for it" etc etc comments, we need to persuade more people to push the limits, and continue to do things purely for fun or achievement.
Murray Walker just commented on it on Sky News, and in reaction to all the "ban Top Gear" comments, he sdai the day we stop doing things that are "dangerous" is the day we should all worry about whats happend to human kind

I would say the same thing but not until I knew that he was going to make a full recovery. I wasn't offended by your comments, I just thought they were insensitive at this time and in this thread.

What about the other poster who said he didnt give a f*ck about mr x being in an accident, dont see you slating him.
How is giving my opinion being a ****? You need to read with your eyes open and see what I have written. I have not said anything detrimental about Mr Hammond
