You can see the photographers are right in the firing line.

From what I have heard on radio le man everyone is fine thankfully. :thumbs:
 
There is definately a tog and camera hitting the deck there :(

Glad everyone is fine... what about the equipment though?
 
"For Sale: Nikon 600mm - slight scuff to hood"
 
Very scary, and very lucky no one was hurt. The man trying to protect his motorbike must have been nuts!
 
If that barrier on the initial impact had have been a little lower, the photographers behind would have been well and truly taken out ....Big Style !!!

Very lucky...I wish the commentary was in Engrish.
 
Damn! Amazing that the car didn't make it over the barrier! Those Audi's have one lots of times. They must have been one of the favourites to win! Everyone who walked away from this was about as lucky as you can be IMHO. Stunned that the car did not make it over the top and wipe lots of people out.

Wow, if you look at about 12 seconds into the video, at the bottom right a photographer looks inches away from being hit by a stray tyre O_O
I'm glad nobody was hurt !
 
I hope the togs got their horizons straight on any shots of this crash:rules:

Although I note from the top image in this article that neither tog appears to be concentrating on capturing the moment....amateurs:D
 
Meh, another day behind the tyrewall... nobody died.

If you want safety, stick to taking photos of babies :D
 
There is a picture on Flickr that I saw in explore of this accident, the same angle as that screen shot
 
Terrible crash, I am thankful that no one was killed. Those photographers
had a luck escape. i wonder if any of those lenses will end up on Ebay ?
 
Almost shades of his F3000 accident a Donington many moons ago. A better outcome for all this time.

Poor old Alan, when he goes off big he really does go big.
 
that tog in the pink shirt must have had a sore head - at the end of the crash clip a large chunkof spolier drops straight on him.
 
pedro had the lucky escape.. but he broke his phone when he hit the ground.. could be worse though!

i was down the other end at ford chicane, so i was fine thanks for asking LOL
