I've learned more about this incident on this thread - both pro-conspiracy and skeptical - than I have any any other thread on this subject.
Still plenty of unanswered questions. Who was he with and where was he until 4:00am? I’ve never seen confirmation of the on-way-to-the-airport story. He generally drove like a grandma. Was he high or passed out?
And plenty of misinformation. Sources still reporting he sent e-mails “hours” before the crash. Best time source I’ve seen places the e-mails the previous day. Conspiracy pushers just clog up efforts to get at facts.
The C-class is the Corolla of Mercedes. The C250 is 110 cubic inches and 200 horsepower, around $40K, not remotely a hot rod.
Chatting with anyone with first-hand knowledge of more than one or two high speed crashes will nix most physics postulates.
