Sadly ironic... RIP, Paul.

*Slade* · 11-30-2013, 10:17 PM

Hated that that is the first thing I saw when I got off work. Sucks. R.I.P Paul

*Krutch* · 11-30-2013, 10:40 PM

SO bizarre. I've been on a 90s binge, I literally just finished watching Varsity Blues about twenty minutes ago. I hop online and this is the first thing I read.

Such a bummer. I liked that dude.

I can't believe this, how terrible. My heart goes out to his family. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy and its tragic to see him and a friend lose their lives this way. RIP Paul.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 12-01-2013, 06:14 AM

This is truly heartbreaking, I was a true fan of his and to see him go out like this is Ironic and sad at the Same time. My Condolences to his friends and family. R.I.P.

*Voltron* · 12-01-2013, 07:36 AM

News like this makes me ponder the way I live my life. Every second that ticks by could be your last. At any moment, there's a multitude of things that can kill you that you'd never see coming.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-01-2013, 09:46 AM

Well, it didn't help that his friend was speeding. Truly tragic news though. Never really saw any of his movies, but it's still sad to see someone die in this fashion. Lesson: Don't speed, kids. You just might die.

*triplexxx* · 12-01-2013, 10:53 AM

My sympathies to him and family/friends/fans, a life lived in the "fast" lane and killed on it as well, and right after reaching out to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, you'd think God would show a little more gratitude, RIP Paul & Roger.

rip paul's family in my prayer.

So....you've never sped before?

Sad news. He seemed like a nice guy. I'm sorry for his child...she's 15 and that's a tough time to lose a parent.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-01-2013, 05:37 PM

No because I don't drive. But when you're speeding recklessly, you could lose your life, and it said in the article I read on Yahoo that the two were joyriding. Not a very smart thing to do. I'm sorry they're gone, and it's sad, but they shouldn't have been joyriding like that and should have been more careful. It would have been different if a drunk driver had hit them or someone else speeding down the road had hit them, but the friend was the one driving and speeding recklessly, so he was at fault. That's what I'm trying to say here. Don't joyride like that because you could lose your life.

Well besides anyone who doesn't drive I am pretty sure we all have been guilty of speeding at one time or another for various reasons.

Its just sad bc I wasn't even driving, he probably should have urged his friend to slow down (maybe he did

) Has anyone seen the porsche they were driving? it was destroyed.

and Katie I couldn't agree with you more, this maybe the saddest fact of all. A 15 old girl lost her father at the time when she may need her most.

May he rest in peace and my prayers go out for his daught.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 12-02-2013, 12:43 PM

sad. we all do silly things throughout our lives in the name of good times, you never think it'll be you. he wasn't even driving. still, tragedy is always sad. i wish the best for the victims familys and friends...RIP

*BubblyShell22* · 12-02-2013, 04:48 PM

Heard on TMZ that there may have been a fluid problem and that he had steering problems which caused the crash, but the police are saying that speed was definitely a factor in the accident. There were allegations that they were street racing, but that hasn't been confirmed though it is under investigation.

*Katie* · 12-05-2013, 09:45 AM

They said speeding was a factor, but I don't think it was super high speeds like people think. From what I've read from people at the event, the normal speed on that road is 50-60 mph. Which is what i'd consider "normal speeding" in a 45 mph zone.

Thing about thos cars is they are built to break apart in any impact because of where the engine is. And the gas tank is up front, so the explosion isn't all that surprising or indicative of speed.

It's just a freak accident. Not some wreckless racing like a lot of people seem to think.

She can always date someone in their thirties, just like her dad did.

Gin Rummy · 12-05-2013, 10:50 AM

This was such a terrible shame. Paul Walker was so young. No idea how they are going to be able to finish 7 without him. RIP.

Yes, it was an accident, and it may have been due to steering problems. They said that Paul was killed due to the fire and that Roger died on impact. I'm sure the investigation will be ongoing, but someone did say that they saw fluid coming out of the car as it was leaving, so that could be what happened, and Roger and Paul didn't know that it was happening. Still tragic for sure, but at least they weren't racing or recklessly speeding.

Rest In Peace Paul Walker, you will be missed

I plan to buy Fast & Furious 6 on blu-ray and it's cool that some of the proceeds will go to benefit his charity
