The race was continued in order to prevent the spectators from leaving, which would have blocked all access roads and the ambulances.

I didn't know that! There happened the most cruelsome accident in car racing killing 83 human beeing and the race was still going on; not for some circles, for nearly twenty hours! Zynical and mankind dissing behaviour is obviously not only a characteristicum of our days.

Are these people out of their minds? How hard is it to separate the damn pits from the race track? Jeesus. And i won't even talk about the continuation of a race where 80 bodies lay on the ground. Sick.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

one of the reasons the officials didn't stop the race was too keep the roadways open for medical vehicles as they took the injured spectators away from the track...and of course to prevent mass panic
That's reasonable ... ( 5 months ago by sMullyoz)
That's reasonable for the first few hours. But after that? I just find it disrespectful to ignore the deaths of fans and innocent bystanders in such a way, like nothing happened.

82 were killed and the program continues like nothing happened! They show smiling faces and talk about things that are not important. They should be talking about the tragedy.
