Carsin Ablon, 1st period APUSH -Paul Walker death investigation

As studies continue to specify the so far un-targeted direct cause of the recently deceased actor Paul Walker's fiery car crash, investigators have narrowed the cause down to the infamously unpredictable 2005 Porsche Carrera GT being driven at the time as well as the disregard to the local speed limit. The lead male actor, shooting on the set for the awaited Fast and Furious movie, drove next to a partner that many speculate interfered with Paul Walker's car and its course however after examining the recorded tape, that inference has been ruled out as no contact was made between the two cars. Instead, the focus of the out of control crash has been pin-pointed to the powerful V-10, 610 horsepower engine powering the lightweight, hard to handle Porsche. Upon further investigation of the crash cite and audio track, several skid marks as well as the sound of a popping tire have been uncovered leading investigators to blame the cars sudden loss of support at a high enough speed to spin the car out of control and inflict a serious crash. 
 
This tragic scenario, as everybody should know, presents a large amount of irony. Not only did a speed-daemon actor die from his unsafe passion, but he did so while making a film to promote the lifestyle of those who do enjoy this kind of thrilling yet unsafe driving. Do not get me wrong, I categorize my self as a gear-head and can easily understand why anybody would enjoy having the power of a super-car at the control of their hands and feet; however i can not deny the potential danger all of these vesicles hold. If anything should be taken from this article and scenario as a whole is that one should never underestimate the power held by technology.

  1. I was really upset to hear about Paul Walker dying, many of the movies he was in made up my childhood! However, I do fully realize the irony of the cause of his death seeing as how his main claim to fame (most would say) is through the Fast and the Furious franchise. I wish his family the best in their time of mourning.
