Saturday Night I was at the radio station with Evan and a couple of our pals while he was running the board for a ballgame... I worked on some of my projects online and as the game was starting to wrap up I did a quick scan through Twitter to see what was happening in the world...
I saw that this Paul Walker of "Fast and Furious" had died in what was not just called a wreck,
I said to the guys, "Paul Walker? Fast and Furious? Do y'all know him?"
I got a resounding and "man crush" filled, "Yes!"
"Well he died this afternoon in what they're calling a fiery crash!", I told them..
They were exasperated and began to chatter like magpies amongst themselves... I continued to follow the story as it unfolded on Twitter. It was fascinating, really ...<!--google_ad_section_start--!> I saw TMZ break the story, then I saw people speculating that TMZ is not always reliable, then someone checked WIKI and the death date was that day, then someone reminded them that WIKI can be edited by any boob with a keyboard... Then someone reminded everyone again that it was unconfirmed, then the publicist came along and sadly confirmed it, then his Facebook and Twitter pages announced it and then everyone went absolutely berzerk online... Within minutes I saw about 4 "RIP Paul Walker" pages appear and begin to fill up... <!--google_ad_section_end--!>
I saw photos of the car yesterday morning and I was absolutely astonished... I knew if there had been a fiery explosion that the rate of speed had been high... but when I saw the car I became infuriated.
THEN I saw this article on TMZ this morning
Paul Walker Death Car May Have Malfunctioned
OK... I want to be very clear ... and feel free to use this as "Exhibit A" in the courts when someone tries to sue an auto shop because a couple of young puffy fellows didn't have the sense God gave a goose - this "crash" was NOT caused by a steering fluid leek. If these fellows, God rest their souls - would have been going at the posted rate of speed, the car would've started to veer off and they would have been like, "Holy Sh*t! What the Hell? The car won't steer!" and they would've most likely veered off into a store window or possibly into a pole, but they would've been able to get out of the car on their own and most likely would've had very few injuries...
Please don't mistake this as me speaking ill of the dead... This story broke my heart and I kid you not, I wouldn't have known this cat if he knocked on my front door and wasn't sure if "Fast and Furious" was a movie or a video game and really didn't care, but when I saw that story break the other night and I thought of parents and family and such... They didn't lose someone they watched on TV, kids... They lost their son, grandson, brother, cousin, uncle, friend... and now they have to know that it was totally a totally irresponsible act that could have TOTALLY been prevented...

I saw that this Paul Walker of "Fast and Furious" had died in what was not just called a wreck,
but a "fiery car crash"... I had hear of "Fast and Furious", but couldn't have told you what it was to save my life... and I had
never heard of Paul Walker, but I'm not as interested in staying with the newest fads as some and I don't care for action movies - therefore, I really have no knowledge on this topic...

Paul Walker Death Car May Have Malfunctioned
The exotic sports car in which Paul Walker violently died, crashed as a result of mechanical failure -- very possibly a steering fluid leak ... this according to sources closely tied to the auto shop where the vehicle was stored and maintained.
