    Well, as most brits here should know, Richard hammond was in a car crash yesterday filming the new series of top gear, and he's in a critical condition. I dont know the exact details, but this kinda threw me. Richard Hammond+ Car crash= Not gonna happen. Well I was proved wrong.
    Get well soon, Richie

      I've got to admit that I don't watch Top Gear (Oh noez!) but he's still a cool guy and I hope he gets better. Last I heard he was in a stable condition, so he won't die.

        That's good, but I doubt he's gonna be back in a car for a long time. The new series is gonna be delayed a long time (\ _ /)

          They might go on without him. There's always Jeremy Clarkson and... the other one.
          Can you tell I don't watch it often?

                Never seen Top Gear before. What is it, a sitcom about V8's?

                    Apparently he'll live but he's got some serious brain injures. I guess the implications of that will come later.

                      Its an awesome show about cars.
                      They like to trash caravans.

                        Er... I think the trashing of caravans is done by the crew of Brainiac.
                        I quite like Top Gear, though i don't watch it very often. Hammond seemed like a nice guy, so I'm sorry this happened to him.
                        First Steve Irwin and now Richard Hammond. Thank God Hammond wasn't killed also.

                          Lies. It's Top Gear. I should know, I watch it every night and have seen that one three times.

                            Its on both
                            Hammond was attempting to break the land speed record for something, succeded, but when he was doing more shots for the cameras after the parachute did'nt deploy and so he crashed...
                            The other ones James 'Captin Slow' May
                            But anyway looks like both Top Gear and Brainiac are going to suffer for a while... They might get that Dom guy who did the Test tube baby spin off of Brainiac to carry that on but who knows time will tell.

                              Looks like fans of Top Gear are going to have to wait for awhile. When it does come back I doubt they'll be doing the same sorts of stunts that they did before.

                                That show is so cool. I'm sorry to hear about him. I remember one part when they tried to kill an old Ford pickup. It was hilarious.

                                I hope he gets better soon.

                                  @ Me111: Yeah, I dont think they're gonna do so well now that they've had an accident. But it wasnt richies fault. Safety will be increased and it wont nearly be as good. I only occasionally watch it though.
