Yes, I considered putting it on TVF, but it's just too damned cool! It's a video, and well worth a watch!
an...incident behind an OB reporter live
Pay extra special attention to the aston - and if you play it in slow motion (WMP9+) the guy sounds really rather pissed!
I'm going to hell...

Why did no-one go the aid the people in the cars? Im sure some of the crew could have done something! Probably to scared of being liable!

It's still there, no problems for me playing it. There's an article about it
here that mentions about them giving help after the report. As it went, the rescue people saw it all on TV so responded very quick.

I can only hear the audio of the crash report. The only pictures I see in the clip, are of the "Tampa Bay 10"
trailer that appears before the actual report featuring the accident. The rest of it is all sound no pictures.

This worked . . . dissecting the URL of the videoclip within the popup to take out the "Tampa Bay 10" trailer
and get the actual videoclip URL of the news report featuring the smashup that was caught live on camera,
then pasting the URL directly into Windows Media Player, and I was able to see the clip as well as hear it.
The URL is . . .

Perhaps it's like blokes. If it's just finished doing something then it'll have to wait a few minutes before doing it again

Something similar happened on a UK local news programme a few years ago. A reporter talking about car accidents recording his piece by the side of the road when cars (too busy watching the reporter) crash into each other and drive up the bank.
