The BBC has released images of the famous high-speed crash involving Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond. Mr. Hammond crashed a jet-powered dragster at 288 mph while filming for the popular automotive show in September.
“I will have taken a few deep breaths on the start line as the engine roared and my thumb hovered over the afterburner switch,” he told Top Gear magazine.
“Then I will have hit it and 10,000 horsepower will have hurled me towards the horizon and up to 280mph. The rest is, I’m afraid, history,” he added. [Crash image | Wreckage].
