Well, he had a large bank account before he built the car. Not so much after.

I'm all for people having fun but that wasn't brake failure, that was builder failure testing in traffic with a knowingly sticking throttle.

The guys that drop $100k on a custom car (like Kevin Hart) make that money on one show, one basketball game or in one paycheck for certain CEOs. Hang around some big money players for a while and you'll never assume anyone drained a bank account on a hobby project again. The salaries some people make, or family money some people have, is beyond imagination for some.

When an audience sees a sage get revealed as an imposter who then claims to be a jester... well, the fake sage's only next move is to blame the audience.

That definitely was not supposed to happen.

yeah, I was gonna say ... what a horrible tragedy ...

 

The air show was rehearsed so that collisions like that never happen. Then was it caused by a replacement fighter pilot who was not in a rehearsal? Drugs or alcohol? Suicide?

You can't guaranteed that things like that can never happen (except by grounding every airplane permanently).

Considering that the four USAF Thunderbirds flew right into the ground during the practice for a show, it doesn't require anything spectacular -- accidents happen. Initially, it was believed that the accident was caused by pilot error on the part of the lead aircraft, but the accident investigation concluded that the lead aircraft suffered a stabilitor malfunction. The other three, per their training, were holding formation on the leader and thus flew their aircraft into the ground right along with him.

 

XF2Y-1 Sea Dart: A Jet Fighter on Water Skis

Convair's Sea Dart waterborne jet fighter was a
brilliant mistake whose time never came

​

A Washington, D.C., newspaper published a drawing of a Sea Dart operating from the Tidal Basin to defend the capital from Soviet bombers. The basin is about three feet deep and in no way suitable for any seaplane, but the image was captivating.
