Can we just all agree that it's a tragic loss and leave it at that?

Not that it really means anything but I was driving on the NJ Turnpike when it happened. Did not see the accident occur but I did see a medivac helicopter landing. Sad, makes you think when you feel like complaining about being stuck in traffic because of an accident.

Please people, think twice before you use the Newark airport taxis, I've been sometimes astonished at their incompetence.

My deepest condolences to you if they were friends of yours.
Wow, I didn't know he had a PhD in math, too. Truly beautiful minds, both father and son. RIP.

Did you miss the part about them being ejected from the vehicle or something? Did you miss that part where they were hit by the second car when they were on the road? Did you notice how the cab driver was still in the car, and was treated for non-life threatening injuries?? How much do you want to bet he was belted?

Of course people die while wearing seatbelts. They could have very well died in this accident if they were wearing belts. But they weren't. The WAY they died in this accident, is 110% their fault. This is something you don't seem to want to accept.
Mr. Nash would take issue with that 110%.
