Car vs. Wall @ 120MPH

Fifth Gear crashed an older Ford Focus into a wall at 120MPH. Cliffs: it's half as long as it was before. Survivability: zero. This is the same amount of force as a head-on collision at 60MPH, unless I am mistaken.

My boy Pat used to drive this car. Another friend saw a fatal offset frontal collision at these speeds in his rearview mirror. He said it looked like special effects from a movie.

You will watch this, and drive more carefully.
