The Unbelievable Escape: American Reacts to Grosjean's Interview Post Fireball Crash||REALFANSSPORTS

[@ForzaPolska06]

Niki Lauda was a 3 time champion, he won 2 of them with half of his face burned off and badly damaged lungs and the year it happened he lost the championship by just 1 point after missing 2 races and withdrawing early from another

[@danskegamerboys]

Yeah the man was a legend! He did never give up and allways kept fighting .. he had a crazy mentality a really special man

[@otaviofrnazario]

Niki was a "special edition" human

[@tomassitko4867]

Them not knowing Nicky is Just 🤯

[@Jozua86]

The movie Rush is a big recommended. It's about the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda and Lauda's accident.

[@HannahL87]

Rush is a great movie.

[@almostyummymummy]

Niki Lauder was an Austrian F1 driver and aviation entrepreneur. He was a three-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion, winning in 1975, 1977 and 1984, and is the only driver in Formula One history to have been champion for both Ferrari and McLaren. Lauda emerged as Formula One's star driver amid a 1975 title win and while leading the 1976 championship battle, Lauda was seriously injured in a crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix while racing at the Nürburgring; during the crash his Ferrari 312T2 burst into flames, nearly killing him after he inhaled hot toxic fumes and suffered severe burns. He recovered sufficiently to race again just six weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix. Although he lost that year's title by just one point to James Hunt. The story of the two of them is shown / told in the movie Rush.

He actually was probably one of the most responsible aviation CEOs of all time. Despite him not being called to. He personally funded without demands from the FAA the replacement of all reverse thrusters on his 767(mostly because he also flew them as a pilot) And despite not being blamed for the failure. He took personal responsibility and made sure it would never happen again. Not just deny deny deny. And then pay out the victims family and force NDAs as conditions of payment ect He was an impressive man that's for sure. His sense of self was unquestioned

[@Triela28]

I watched it live and you're right, they just didn't show anything for what I felt like 15 minutes. But in reality it must have been barely 5 minutes. That was truly something !

[@lth1072]

I thought Grosjean had his final moments when I saw this crash and fire. It was amazing to see him get out. I remember watching Greg Moore crashing in Indycars. Moore was a hero of mine. I knew immediately he'd died. It was such a sad day. Racing is amazing. But it can be very sad.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

I was at the track in front of this. You felt the heat when he hit. Was like when you go see an airshow and they do explosives or Napalm strikes to simulate bombing runs. I wasn't looking(was watching the first 6) and I swear I felt the heat on my face before I had turned because of the noise. In my head I turned to see what the heat was and then twigged halfway turning to see that I'd heard a crash. I had the feeling you had. I was looking away but kept side looking for bits of him near the other end of the car. Even looking for maybe a bit of suit or helmet. It literally was like watching Lazarus rise from the dead seeing him move through the fence, then rise from the flames. I had just come to terms with the fact the Halo had failed and we might not find any of him bigger than a finger. Or he was KO'd and burning to death In front of me. I actually work for the company who installed the track lights. So had been to a few events. And I give tickets to events like this to people who work under me now. Just never want to experience that feeling again. I can only imagine what it was like for you. As that feeling was met with the highest highest I've ever experienced in sport. But I can tell you now I never want to through anything like y again.

[@ryansheehan9462]

Greg Moore’s crash was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. If there was ever a time when you knew the second the crash happened that it was going to end up being a fatality, that was it.

[@jasper46985]

I watched it.. i remember seeing it and being shocked. Camera got black and then a shot of the horizon with commentators keeping us feedback on the situation when info came out.

[@luckyspurs]

My mum had to actively evaluate whether she wanted me watching F1 with my dad as a 5 year old in 1995, because the previous year Ayrton Senna & Roland Ratzenberger had died. That's not something you want to expose a young child too. Thankfully she did, because watching Damon Hill win the world championship in 1996 was amazing as a little kid from London. Only 1 F1 driver has died in the 29 years I've been watching: RIP Jules Bianchi and I was 25 at the time and (kind of) able to process it.

[@dillonpierce7869]

Niki's crash was one of the ones that advanced the safety far enough over the time between him and grosjeans crashes that grosjean was able to walk away from that.

[@prdcuc]

Niki Lauda was badly burnt and scarred in an F1 crash.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

I have a kind of unique attachment to this event. I watched it trackside on a work trip from about 100-200 metres or so(didnt measure just guessing as it happened opposite side of the track where I was sat) You could feel the heat from the flames. Nothing uncomfortable but when he hit first I felt the heat from the explosion like I was sat in front of a low temp heater. I can tell you now. Until he climbed out. Nobody had any idea where he was and we were all thinking maybe the halo failed and he was pink mist. The track was a mix of silence. And confusion. It was surreal. Like I was looking for bits of him or his suit near the other half and barriers ect. And couldn't see anything. It wasn't making sense in my head unless he was dead. I used to go to F1 for the crashes and sound. But I haven't attended a racing event since. Not even melbourne where I literally live in an apartment 2 mins from Albert Park(Melbourne track) and can watch half the race from my balcony. I have just AirBnB my apartment out over that 2 weeks and go camping usually. It's weird because I didn't know him. And was a massive fan of F1. But I made a deal with myself I never want to feel that way about another human again. I van't watch this to this day without reliving it. And i can almost feel the heat on my face when he hits

[@tasha7094]

He's racing Indy Cars now.

[@MrMantequilla1]

I saw it live they went straight to commercial till he was out

[@FlankerB3]

SkySports F1 didn't cut the screen. I watched it all on tv. Other tv rights holders probably had cut but SkySportsF1 didn't

[@Nem01]

Nice video.

[@josephineburrows-x1e]

Niki lauda is a drivers who was in a crash with burns xx

[@tejmason4310]

I’ve had a near death experience myself, nothing like this but he’s right, your mind thinks about so much and it all happens in a split second, there is a brief period when you understand what’s going on and you do actually calm down, and it’s when that happens the body goes into fight or flight.

[@PeterUrbanowski]

Watching this live was scary but rewatching the Netflix footage to quote Lewis Hamilton my wife and i felt very vulnerable in that moment, the 28 seconds live felt like 30 minutes

[@FlankerB3]

he is talking about dr. Ian Roberts F1's new chief medical expert. He replaced dr. Sid Watkins.

[@luckyspurs]

Isn't the logic (if you can even call it that) supposed to be that your body kind of gives you one last moment to try and calm and look for a solution. Obviously most of the time there isn't one. Thankfully Grosjean was able to get out, because there's no way on earth the firefighters were going to be able to stop the fire in time.

[@doomoondong_idn]

Rush, movie about f1, niki vs james

[@Phillice]

You will find Nikki‘s crash on KZbin as well

[@juliusperseus8612]

You Should Maybe React To the Movie *RUSH*

[@happchue]

about Niki Lauda crash: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKLRiH-trbx1o6csi=flM7JbNKRema__LE

[@Nem01]

I experianced it... you're at peace with yourself and ready to go.

[@johnwilkins275]

Since you're watching different motorsport and want to learn more about them, then you should watch the 6 videos I have in mind for you about the BTCC. The first video, I've seen another American react video from Embrace The Suck 21, who watched "BTCC Tribute This is Supertouring" and ask if this series is still around and it is, but because it's a UK sport, there aren't a lot of video results in the US about this, like there are here in the UK. The next video, "A Beginner's Guide to the British Touring Car Championship", will help you understand what this sport in the UK is. Another video, which is "sort-of" similar than the first video, "Why BTCC is BETTER than F1", but be warned, cause the KZbinr of this video really doesn't like Lewis Hamilton. Before I get to the fourth video, back in the 90s, fans go and watch motor racing to watch crashes, which is terrible, but it's the sad truth, but now in the modern era, fans, including myself, love close-battle-talent and there're battles everywhere from first to last, where as in F1, after 2, or 3 laps, it's just one car on it's own. This final video, "2018 BTCC Battle for Win", shows the second half of the 30th and final race of two best friends battling for the lead and trust me, you don't want to miss the end of the final lap. The remaining two video are "How To Race BTCC SHAKEDOWN Interview" and "Robb Holland On Driving His BTCC Honda Civic RaceCar", where we had an American racing in this sport. Hope you enjoy.

Im posting this straight from wiki Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda (22 February 1949 - 20 May 2019) was an Austrian Formula One driver and aviation entrepreneur. He was a three-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion, winning in 1975, 1977 and 1984, and is the only driver in Formula One history to have been champion for both Ferrari and McLaren, two of the sport's most successful constructors. Lauda emerged as Formula One's star driver amid a 1975 title win and while leading the 1976 championship battle, Lauda was seriously injured in a crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix while racing at the Nürburgring; during the crash his Ferrari 312T2 burst into flames, nearly killing him after he inhaled hot toxic fumes and suffered severe burns. He recovered sufficiently to race again just six weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix. Although he lost that year's title by just one point to James Hunt, he won his second championship the year after, during his final season at Ferrari. In September 2012, he was appointed non-executive chairman of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport. He took part in negotiations to sign Lewis Hamilton to a three-year deal with Mercedes in 2013 You can watch the movie Rush which is based on his rivalry with James hunt.

[@FlankerB3]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7dnGduobNjepI Nurburgring 1976 that is Niki Lauda, but he didn't die. Three other drivers pulled him out of his burning car. He skipped two races and returned to F1 in the same season. Lost the title in 76 by a couple of points to James Hunt, but won championship titles in 77 and 83

[@jenniferbrossman6897]

The part about sunset ect... was shocked kicking in. You're trying to make sense of the situation that makes no sense to you.

[@RealFansSports]

Well yeah. How would we or anyone else understand if you aren’t experiencing it. That is why it is so crazy
