CBS's Bob Simon killed in NYC car crash

[Bliss]

60 Minutes Correspondent Bob Simon was killed in car accident tonight. Very sad and tragic.

But I do wonder, how does this (magnitude of crash) happen on a NYC street? The Autobahn or a country road, I could understand.

And what is a livery Cab?

Speed had to have been a factor! Look at the car... It's virtually unrecognizable. It looks like he ran into something fast and then a tank ran over the front! Wow.

They said the driver had a gaggle of violations

Like u said...the cars were obliterated.......seatbelts don't matter when ur ride is balled up into a paper ball

Ur just going to end up as a very restrained pulp

I'm wondering if the driver fell asleep or something...

He had 9 violations/infractions or something... maybe it's time to consider another profession? Definitely now...

Sad story.

I never can wrap my head around why people choose to NOT wear a seat belt.

 

[Soulthinker]

I always wear a seatbelt when I go to a cab. Things are going to tighten up since a legend died in a cab.

May he Rest In Peace.

I sometimes hate driving at night. A lot of crazies are doing their version of The Fast And The Furious on the road these days. I was on the turnpike a few years ago and two cars suddenly passed in front of me. I nearly lost it that night.

and yet the person with a seatbelt on survived and Simon was tossed... I will be putting my seatbelt when I get into a taxi or limo for now on.
