Planned Parenthood defends Obama
On March 14th, 1973 John McCain was released from captivity. Eight minutes later a child was abused. Coincidence? Can you afford to take that chance? Can your children?
Paid for by Barack Obama for president. A candidate that does not abuse children every 8 minutes.
Roger Williamson Fatal Crash
Purley is the only one with a race suit and gloves to protect him from the heat remember. i mean, i watch it and wished they'd tried harder, for longer, but it's a few hundred kilo's of burning metal and rubber they're trying to push...without any safety gear.
the fire truck couldn't get there because the race was still going and the race was still going because the stewards made a monumental error in thinking it was only Purley who had crashed (and it was only his car on fire). Williamson and Purley were in the same team and were running together on the track. they failed to notice the other car (Purley's) on the left hand side.
without the fire steward and his truck the only real hope for Williamson was another driver stopping. but none of them knew what was going on. obviously a lot of them have spoken of a deep regret for not doing so.
unfortunately F1 safety in the past worked a little like airline safety in that it takes some horrible event to get things changed/ improved.
one of the other drivers:
Denny Hulme: One of the problems may have been that the drivers were unaware of the seriousness of the accident; I certainly never knew that anyone was still in the burning car until after I had retired in the pits. When I came past the first time I saw the car on fire and David Purley brushing flames off himself and my initial reaction was that he had crashed and had managed to get out of the car OK, but when he was still there struggling two laps later I started to wonder. It never occurred to me that it was his car stopped on the other side of the road. I just presumed that there had been a two-car accident and that David had climbed out of the burning car, Initially the fire was small and the flame was low, blowing sideways as though a petrol line had severed and with the pump still on it was feeding flame out sideways like an acetylene torch. If Purley had had assistance as soon as he arrived, Roger could probably have been rescued. As it turned out, it was a complete disaster. The first truck took some eight minutes to arrive after driving round most of the track while the other truck stood 150 yards away and did nothing. I simply fail to understand it.

Les Miserables Sublime Finale - Do You Hear the People Sing?
This clip is eight minutes long. If you've ever been to Les Miz, it's an automatic upvote. The last two minutes is as rousing as it gets.

Network - the first 8 minutes
The first eight minutes of the movie, just like it says. Be sure to watch all the way to the end.
Here's a great resource posted by mlx previously - http://www.filmsite.org/netw.html
It's a great movie and it's amazing how prescient it has turned out to be. See it if you haven't, you'll see what I mean.
