This is another reason why BMWs are worth every dollar you pay. The fact that he made it out of an accident that horrific alive is a testament to BMW's safety.

A little off topc but testament to bmw's safety. I came across a really bad accident a couple weeks ago where a truck drove off a small hill and t-boned a 530 in midair. I arrived about 30 seconds after it happened. The 530 was obviously totaled and completly bent up. The driver of it was trapped. About two weeks later I was at the barber and the same guy was to, noone believed that he walked away from that accident. When he went to get belongings out of his car at the lot the man was confused on which car was his because he figured everyone in it had died.

That is awful... I just started working at a fire department and the Camaraderie there is incredible... Must have been awful for them to have to work on their friend like that.

Glad to see he survived.
