Poll of the Day > 22 y/o Jersey Kids are DEAD after they FLEW their $50,000 CAR into a HOUSE!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

22 y/o Braden DeMartin from New Jersey was killed, alongside his passenger friend, 23 y/o Daniel Foley after he drove his 50,000 PORSCHE BOXSTER into a HOUSE as the car was speeding so fast it FLEW into the SECOND FLOOR of the house!!

He was driving his shiny bright new car so fast that he hit a centre median and struck an embankment and lurched onto the building that killed him and Daniel.

The sports car was demolished after it traveled a high rate of speed at 630 AM

Shocking photos showed the damaged car and showed a gaping hole on the second story as the 2010 Porsche Boster was damaged completely and skid marks were visible on the lanes leading up to the crash

Fortunately no occupants were in the building as a friend shared an image of the boys writing RIP Braden DeMartin and Dan Foley. Will never forget the days we spent at the golf course together. Always made everything more fun"

Another said "I can't beleive it, another 2 of my childhood friends gone. Bro i remember when we used to scooter and bike at the incline club and had no problems or worrie. i never saw this coming bro"

Daniel's girlfriend was also heartbroken who described their eternal love for eacch other and can't fathom him gone..

It's unclear how the young men afforded the vehicle but Foley posted that he was selling car parts 13" 2000 Mustang Cobra R rotors and a Cobra Hood back in July. Braden also worked as an electrician

The starting price of these cars is 48,000 but the S model's recommended price is 59,000 for an additional 3500 buyers can add a PDK transmission that combines 2 gearboxes in one and increases the speed.

Do you know middle class people who can afford 50,000 cars??

Braden and Daniel - Deceased

I hope the occupants/owners of the house are able to sue the family of those two idiots to pay for any damages done and inconveniences (such as paying for a hotel while repairs are done, and so on) plus court costs, for anything the driver's insurance doesn't cover. Actually, it really sucks that everyone else's insurance is going to go up to pay for this.

Also...wasn't this like half a year ago?

Wow. That is really high...

On that note...I wonder if the police did an autopsy to see if they were on any drugs at the time?

Can't say I'm too broken up by the "loss" of such an idiot. The passenger was presumably innocent, so that sucks, but the world's better off without somebody who'd drive so dangerously. It's just a shame he couldn't have killed himself by crashing into something sturdier and inconveniencing fewer people.

Dumb rednecks take a joy ride and die for it, luckily no bystanders were killed.

More news at eleven.

Agreed

This is a terrible shame and a truly heartrending tragedy.
When will people learn? Speeding through suburbs in expensive cars can only end in regret.
If only instead he had built himself a giant slingshot to shoot himself halfway across the county before crashing violently into the landscape, a good building and vehicle could have been spared.

1) Finance is a thing.
2) Don't drive faster than you are capable of controlling, do not test your limits in unsafe areas.

They acted recklessly and deserve to survive as vegetables.

It's a reminder to drive with horse sense not horsepower. It doesn't just apply to crossing train tracks.

Apparently, I'm middle class. Since I can afford a $50k car, yes, I know at least one middle class person who can afford a $50k car.

Thats not a house, its an office space. I remember seeing this on the news months ago.

Bro I never expected this bro. It's so insane bro

The responses in this topic remind me of the one good point/joke ever made about the general reaction to the Crocodile Hunters death.

He said hes not an ass for making fun of the Crocodiles Hunters death because hes not a hypocrite, when people die going 200mph on a motorcycle on the freeway we just say what is that idiot doing he got what he deserved, yet the crocodile hunter plays with dangerous animals and gets killed and we all felt sorry and sad for him.

Well it's a pretty stupid point. One genuinely loved animals and knew the dangers. The other is a guy who blatantly disrespects human life

And some people genuinely love cars and know the dangers of speeding/racing.

Spinning things is easy.

So, this is what the 2020's are going to bring.

Flying cars.

20 years too late that is.

Irwin playing with crocodiles never got anyone else killed. Idiots going for joyrides in cars that shouldn't even exist get innocent people killed every day. Equivocating the two is absurd.

Steve Irwin was also a smiling, cheerful celebrity while this guy is anonymous piece of words, and that really is all the difference.

Steve Irwin wasnt a bad guy, but he wrestled with real wild animals in real wild habitats for basically no reason other than to make good TV, it caught up to him one day and one of the animals killed him, obviously he knew the risks, and it was evidently quite real, seeing as wild animals tend to kill things especially when they arent armed and are actively invading their space.

I think the idea behind the point is the methods that Irwin took were mostly entirely unnecessary, I dont think anyone needs for him to wrestle an alligator or crocodile to be educated about it. If you really need to capture it that badly do it in a way that isnt completely looney, like using a net.

But of course this wouldnt have made him world famous because the whole reason we watched the Crocodile Hunter was for the shock factor.

What if the Crocodile attacked the cameraman or another crew member?

What if one of the wild animals he paraded around got loose?

Its only absurd through the extremely limited lens you are looking at it, which is, a person only doesnt deserve empathy in death if their actions potentially endangered others.

Steve Irwin also taught people about animals. And taught about the dangers of the animals. And, I think he helped out an different centers where they had animals. Plus, IIRC, the terrorist organization of PETA hated him. So, he was probably a good guy because of that. Comparing a guy teaching teaching the world about animals to a couple of kids joyriding doesn't really make sense. I'm not going to say I think the kids should've died or anything. But it's easy to see the difference between the two...

Something like that would have not only made the news, but probably would have stopped the show. So, it likely didn't happen. And it's possible. But being a possibility means nothing if it doesn't happen. And that's if he didn't take proper precautions. It didn't happen, so he probably took proper precautions and care to make sure that it wouldn't...

Its also a gross oversimplification.

You know what else can kill people? Running a stop sign. Leaving something cooking unattended, or smoking at a gas station.

TerranceC posted...

Adequate precautions were taken to minimize that risk, and even if it did happen, the crew agreed to that risk when they took the job. That's not remotely comparable to injuring or killing an innocent, unrelated bystander.

TerranceC posted...

Again, adequate precautions. Even more so for public appearances, because you've gotta go through a whole lot of paperwork to get approved for anything like that. Again, not remotely comparable.

Ironically (not really), you're describing my viewpoint through an extremely limited lens. You should perhaps reevaluate your approach.

You know why they hated him?

Because they want wildlife to be left alone and not tackled, roped up and paraded for studio audiences.

Sure. Maybe. But they're also the group that went and stole some people's pets. And killed a couple, as well... So, they're probably not the best organization to trust when actually thinking about animals...

It can indeed. This is why competent drivers pay attention and try to avoid making such a mistake. The ones that don't try don't get sympathy if their recklessness kills them. The ones that do try but made an unfortunately-timed mistake get more sympathy because they didn't recklessly endanger others.

TerranceC posted...

Leaving something cooking unattended

It can indeed. This is almost always an innocent mistake, though, not a symptom of broader-scale recklessness, so there's more sympathy there.

TerranceC posted...

or smoking at a gas station.

It can indeed. That's why, if you ever see somebody smoking at a gas station, you stab them right in their goddamn stupid face for being so goddamn stupid. Zero tolerance for that nonsense.

good riddance

Also, Steve Irwin once fed a crocodile with his one year old son in his arm, so if we are talking reckless endangerment, theres that.

Did they? Or did some people affiliated with PETA steal peoples pets?

I suspect that PETA doesnt order its members to kidnap pets.

Again, reasonable precautions. He'd spent his entire career studying the animals. I have no reason to expect that he'd put his son in that situation if he didn't feel thoroughly assured that he'd be fine.

They could have killed other people. I always find it hard to feel bad for people whose stupidity endangered others.

They were apparently in PETA. Whether whoevers in charge told them to do it or not, members of PETA did it... Meaning that PETA stole, and sometimes euthanized, peoples pets...

That would be like if a Macys employee shot up a mall saying that Macys shot up a mall.

People can act independently of a larger group of people and PETA likely did or does not condone pet kidnappig.

No. Its different. That would be that employee. This is an organization where multiple people were doing it. So, it was PETA doing it. Im not blaming all Macys employees for one person. Now, if multiple Macys employees from one store did (like 75% of them), then Id still blame that whole store and say they were a bad Macys. Not all of them were bad. But most of that store was. To say PETA didnt because not every single member did would be wrong. Especially since they would have been stopped eventually. So, in the end, PETA did steal pets and have some euthanized. You can stand up for the terrorist organization all you want, but it did happen. And their group members were the one who did it. And that wont change just be you try to wordsmith it...

I also cant say that I believe PETA doesnt condone it... I cant read minds, but thats one group I definitely dont trust...

If you're going to own a high performance car, you need to shell out the money to take a course in how to handle it. Sports cars are not Accords.

---

Maybe dont drive recklessly?

DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC posted...

Sports cars are not Accords.

In normal driving rpm they basically are (apart from where they're better). They have much wider tyres accounting for their performance and power grows significantly as the revs rise. Sports cars have stiffer bodies and suspension giving immediate response to the environment and they typically have heavy, hydraulic steering that gives tactile feedback from the road. The rigidity also improves crash safety making them safer in equal crashes.

Stingrays aren't typically a dangerous animal, and he had no reason to expect it to attack him like it did because they would rather run away than try and fight something.

Also, Steve Irwin was a treasure. What, exactly, did these dudes do besides drive a car entirely way too fast in a residential area and then fly into a fucking building and die? Did they teach people how to properly deal with animals? Did they help endangered animals? Did they do anything worth noting aside from putting other peoples lives in danger?

Of course people are going to be sad that the friendly guy who just wanted to help animals and teach other people about them died, over some dude who wanted to go fast.

Loose cables across walkways aren't typically dangerous but if you trip over one and crack your skull and die, the building is still liable having acted recklessly because they did not deal with the risk. He took undue risk.

So that makes him above reproach? I don't think it's good to treat celebrities as above us filthy plebs.

He's some dude who wanted to dick about with potentially fatal animals. We don't let Roman Polanski get away with pedophilia just because he made films people like, status shouldn't erase bad behaviour.

Middle Class people who can afford $50,000 cars! Hmmm well that depends on how one classifies middle class. But to be quite honest, America has hordes of people who are millionaires that we simply do not know about.

This country is wealthier now in terms of personal wealth than at any other time in its history.
