I found these on a car club facebook page. Chilling to say the least to see Paul literally in his last moments and the video is just.....wow.  (cant get video to come up so I just linked it to my PB) s120.photobucket.com/user/cooga00/media/PW_zps78544811.mp4.htmlIll be honest, Id never even heard of him before this, I cant stand the F&F movies. Although its a bummer that he's died, Im personally not moved in the slightest, compounded by the fact that they were driving like idiots made me care even less How have you never heard of him but you've seen the movies (or enough of them) to decide that you didnt like them? Also you realize that Walker wasnt driving right? Blaming him for his death is like blaming the kid that got paralyzed for Nick Hogan being an idiot....plus like its been mentioned, its still not been said they were speeding or driving recklessly. |

To be fair the kid with Nick Hogan got drunk with him and willingly not only got into a car with a drunk driver but also wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Not saying the kid deserved what happened, but he is far from smart in his decision making. |

Just One Of Those Freak Accidents In My Opinion ... I Also Feel Bad For The Driver, Someone That Most People Aren't Even Talking About.

Just One Of Those Freak Accidents In My Opinion ... I Also Feel Bad For The Driver, Someone That Most People Aren't Even Talking About. Exactly. The driver was Roger Rodas who happened to be a close friend of Paul Walker's for over a decade from what I've read so far. I don't believe they were drag racing as there is NO evidence of a 2nd car and I'm not really sure if speed was truly a factor. I believe the car may have malfunctioned and the driver, Roger Rodas, simply lost control of the car and crashed. I think it was too much for him to handle and he wrecked, simple as that. From the video TMZ has posted just seconds after the wreck, there appears to be a chunk of wiring or something on the ground with fluid draining along the ground. This has to be from the Porsche Carerra GT in which Roger and Paul were in. Also to note, apparently that car has been nicknamed "The Widowmaker" due to being and extremely dangerous vehicle. At any rate, it's just a terrible sad situation all around. R.I.P. Roger Rodas and Paul Walker |

The car was literally split in half, and the tree ended up in the passenger seat. The guy had to have been speeding in order for that kind of damage to occur.

Roger Rodas and Paul Walker Police said they estimate the Porsche was going 45mph, which isnt really THAT fast but there is a curve there that says to slow to 15mph. Its believed they took the curve too fast, lost control and slammed into the tree. While I love all kinds of cars a V-10 610hp sports car is entirely unnecessary and doesnt need to be on the street legally. |

I've never seen his films but nonetheless it's such a shame for anyone to pass away like this. You can talk about the movies and the fans but, from what I read, he leaves behind a beautiful daughter who will never see her daddy alive again. What a way to spend the holidays. I hope and pray that his family, as well as the drivers family can find their hearts once again once they are able to grieve.

TMZ is now saying that apparently Paul tried to escape the wreckage while the car was engulfed in flames and I really don't know, but I think they may be right. The first time I saw the clip, I swear I saw something moving in the flames and originally thought it could be him, but just shrugged it off.
Now, TMZ has taken a closer look at the footage and they too believe it was Paul Walker trying to escape the firey wreck. See and judge for yourself:
About 23 seconds into the clip you can clearly see something moving in the flames....

I can have whatever one I want for any reason, and if you outlaw them then only outlaws will have them and you can't stop people from illegally getting them. ....wait, cars we're talking about? Damn. [Side note: this idea sounded better in my head lol.] |

Now TMZ says whatever is in the flames is NOT Paul Walker trying to escape, but rather part of the car's roof burning, according to police who have viewed the footage. www.tmz.com/2013/12/05/paul-walker-crash-death-burning-car-image-not-human/On a side note, Fast & Furious 6 is due out on DVD and Blu-Ray on the 10th next week and a portion of the proceeds will go to Paul Walker's Reach Out Worldwide Organization. I will be more than happy to buy the Blu-Ray and I'm SO glad they are donating some of the money to a worthy cause. That's really great. And here's a great tribute: R.I.P. |

Ugh...
I think they should release Fast 7 but it may be hard to watch given the context of the film.

Pretty sure Lin (think thats the directors name) said it would still be released but they're just figuring out how to go about it. They dont know if they want to put Walkers face on someone elses body or rewrite what's left to write him out. I think it was mentioned by someone that they could just scrap the film and rewrite everything and redo it without Walker. |

I say leave him in, have possibly an off screen death or something, I dont know. I think it would be more disrespectful to not show his last work. I hated how Nolan just ignored the fact Joker was a part of his series in Dark Knight Rises.

Ill be honest, Id never even heard of him before this, I cant stand the F&F movies. Although its a bummer that he's died, Im personally not moved in the slightest, compounded by the fact that they were driving like idiots made me care even less
