First, the track design was negligent. Second, the excuse to keep racing to avoid traffic is absurd. They prioritized the spectacle over 82 lives. This is why we need regulations to check commercial greed.

The magnesium bodywork detail is horrific but accurate. Water makes burning magnesium explode so the firefighters actually made the disaster worse.
