Hi,
You seem confident prior to publication of Lord Stevens investigation. He is
quoted "It is a far more complex inquiry than any of us thought." But if it
is so simple as you seem to believe then he must be saying this to justify
the cost to the taxpayers and sell newspapers when the story breaks. So Paul
was a chain smoker and drew a few breaths from his airbag before he died
[were we ever told whether he was wearing a seat belt - don't think we were]
please, this is insulting our intelligence. It did then it still does.
I just hope that we don't see one of these computer simulations showing a
glancing blow with the pillar and the car spinning off. This looks fine with
computer games but not real life.
