Ah, tragedy: The most human of emotional reactions, other than cruelty.

Clearly, he was too fast, yet did not apply the brakes with sufficient fury.

Jonas Salk is also dead; I'll use the one candle I have handy to light for him...

I see what you did there

...

Seriously, tho -- is this river of tears over a star from the Fast and the Furious?

F&F was a broadly inspirational and for some, a deeply personal, thing?

Well, I'm sincerely very sorry for everyone's loss.

I can only imagine how devastated everyone will be when Rob Cohen, Gary Scott Thompson, Erik Bergquist, or David Ayer eventually pass.

R.I.P., P. Walker, profoundly influential thespian and cultural icon.

jesus that car is destroyed

SPOHN · 11-30-2013, 10:15 PM

I hope he went quick from hitting the tree then light pole being the car burst into flames.

Chuck33079 · 11-30-2013, 10:19 PM

So a guy made famous by movies about people driving like idiots on the street dies in a car being driven by an idiot on the street? Just a touch ironic. Since he's famous, people seem to have a lot more sympathy than they would from Johnny Nobody doing the same thing. I'm just glad he didn't take another car out in the process.

It was a closed street. It was a charity event for the Philippine disaster. But I agree they should not drive that fast. It seem like Paul was the passenger.

Ok, at least it was a closed street.

Just heard the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to them and their friends and family. Rest in Peace.

If this is true, I take it back, carry on, it's a shame

Grindkiezer · 11-30-2013, 10:20 PM

He wasn't driving though.

SPOHN · 11-30-2013, 10:20 PM

I hope I go out one day in a car. That way they can say he was doing what he loves. Sounds crazy I know. I'm not going to live my life with fear leading me.

Jasonle · 11-30-2013, 10:22 PM

wow I can't believe this.

Rusty · 11-30-2013, 10:26 PM

I just read about this on msn.

I liked him. Think he was one of the better young actors out there.

SPOHN · 11-30-2013, 10:25 PM

Ok guys lets judge on his last moments not what he really represented. A$$holes. That's why I care less about anyone. A N Y O N E. If it was your family you wouldn't say sh!t. Nothing in life matter anyways. We all die. Then that's it.
