It is sad what happened but what is she expecting: a concrete wall between the roads and the spectatorstands to protect them? Come on, the organiztion could say if she stood somewhere else nothing happened. I think she sued the wrong ones: she had to sue the driver again.
In 07 they did instal k-rail to keep cars from going through to vaughn drive. So I guess this is another example of crisses management.
When an attorney files a law suit, it is filed against ANY BODY and any entity that could be even remotely involved. Normally, once the suit is setteled between her and the shaving creem sniffing idiot kid the rest of the suits will be dropped.
2 years ago before the feature a snot nose rich kid in a black Monte carlo was sniffing shaving cream (I think it was) outside the regatta on one of the main streets . Any way he freaked out, slammed the accelerator, plowed through 2 road blocks, through crowds of people, tents and chairs, jumped a culvert and went into the river. Most of the spectators went over the hood but one was dragged into the river with the car. Someone actually stepped on her under water while they were trying to reach the driver and pulled her out of the river. My 2 sons and I were walking down the street at the time. The car went within 2 feet of the boys ant took a girl that was in front of them. She was bruised up but OK I think. I never really found out for sure. It was so surreal that we just stood there for a few seconds trying to decide if it really happened. I'm sure that the feeling is similar to what many people felt when watching the jet fly into the trade center in front of them......Any way, They decided not to continue the race. On a good none, most of the people would not have survived had it not been for the many rescue personnel being right there. My hats off to them.
