These sorts of things always remind me of a time in the sixties. Our local newspaper never carried any coverage of the NHRA U.S. Nationals, only 90 miles away!!! }:-(

That changed one year, when they printed a picture taken a split-second before a "tossed" supercharger hit a cameraman, killing him. I was sooooo mad that they would not cover the race at all unles it was "ugly"!

Today's media is even worse, when they report news in a way to twist the story to favor their political alignment. {:-(

Man-I don't know that news coverage of a crash has much to do with politics over sensationalizing the crash it's self that at times is all apart of racing.My logic in posting this thread was to see what you guys had to say and a curiosity if roof flaps would have prevented it and was show it wouldn't.Heck the news all the time show NASCAR crashes which is apart of that kind of racing all the time.Politics??.Naaaa.
