The engine is never an integral part of cockpit safety (tub, as you call it), and neither is suspension. They take torsional loads designed by inclusive chassis torsional stiffness, which include all weld points concerning any pillars involved or floor mountings, including floor stiffening, and cross-members.

I got it from being a chief designer at Jaguar, LandRover, Ford and lately Chery in China, FYI. - Based upon experience, crash testing, impact loading, FMA, FMEA, PFMEA, QFMEA and whatever you would like to add to the list. The cock-pit is an occupant area which should never be encroached. Impact beams, crush beams, you name it... yes... take engine impact, but they are, or should not be intergral parts of the tub (cockpit, in my terms). C-towers and associated cross-members are incredibly important, and change torsional stiffness dramatically, yet are, in most circumstances, difficult to package. He was driving a roadworthy (alledged) car, not a single seater, which your pint of view pertains to.

Whose posts are you actually reading ?

Should have gone to spec savers.

Is that you Kerry ?

So you deny your above info, which has nothing to do with roadworthy car design?

Give over trolling Kerry/Kelly/ Andrew it really is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It'zzzz meeee Kerry. How did you guess? Now please, start paying some consideration to the tree... like you never did.

I think if you took a look at the chassis, it will be one of these 'stitched together' dubious imports. Quite common to cut them in half and re-weld them in chop shops to avoid lots of cost. MLM, he nearly became a bit multi leveled himself, car, body, amulet, car.

It is weird. A Lambo should not split in half like that at 150kph. He was probably going faster or it is a hack job.

Could be a real one I suppose.

It didn't split in half at 150kph, it split in half after hitting a tree at 150kph.

Apart from laughing at all posts, and attempting to shame them, I thought you, at least, would ask how the tree is doing.

I guess that's below you?

I pity the car. It's so sad when a car like that dies and its dirt dumb owner survives.

Can you describe the car's past character, so that I may enjoy the melancholy and the sadness too? It died in a crash... not crunched or recycled.. blooded the road with oil and fuel.... and went way before its time... sooo sad. ... I'm gutted..... it wasn't the <deleted> that owned it.

More than one structural member to be precise. You are wrong that the tub (cockpit) is designed to break under crash.

The A, B and C pillar structure should never shatter, no matter the impact load. Yes, it should break away from the chassis, to prevent one of the greatest killers: weight of rear tyre, combined with wheel and break weight, impacting the driver from the rear. The engine is not a structural member, as torsional loads cannot carry such weight along with the cockpit (as I term it, correctly). No way is an engine, and its weight, ever a part of cockpit design!

Where did you get any of that from ?

I said the mounts are supposed to break not the tub.

The engine and gearbox are a structural members , it is a structural member of the car as the rear suspension loads are fed through it and the gearbox. See any tub single seater or top end racecar.

Incredible that people actually believe this stupid mumbo jumbo.

What? Like roadworthy cars being designed to split in half under impact?

I'd like a vid of a Euro-Ncap latest Lambo crash on side impact or pole test or 50 deformable barrier side showing me the car splitting in half. (Or a FMVSS one, for that matter).

Anybody?

Wow thats not steep, ITS VERTICAL ! God help him when he gets his water and electric bill if this is how lucky he is !

Not quite vertical, na. Geometric? 555

Chicken-feed compared to the bills the missus runs up in our household!! Yakkety yak yakkety yak.....

Sent from my 2 tin cans using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Fishmeal... perhaps?

I need media coverage to succinctly bring advantages to my ill-marketed company.

Currently, my S4 data usage signal for the last 5 seconds displays 1.1 MMMMEGb per second, and my bill is rising, as data usage cycles are measured by my device with AIS at 5 second intervals.

My service provider may account for data usage differently, so a source from AIS Dubai tells me.

Thus, I estimate approximately a bill of Thaksin standards, at something like the rice scam, at 500 billion baht.

I now know what cookie run is.... and hope to explain my bill to AIS at my first opportunity. However, first I must get to level 108.

<deleted>tf? National iodine day?

How about 'a national K day' too? (Potassium), and heel pricks for babies after birth?

How about a 'national Iron day' (inclusively including good building structures too)?

How about 'Thailand is the international new hub for just discovering what the West has been doing for 50 years' day?

The crazy ideas keep flowing, as if they are new Thai ideas.. not trickling with ooze from Western known truths.

Beggars belief, as did yesterday... pls learn to stop (from a Chula PhD) at zebra crossings, and greng jai your fellow man.

What beggars belief is your constant slagging-off of Thais and Thailand.

No slagging Thailand here, my sire. Slagging idiots thick as shit, yes... by all means.

Does your home country have a national Idiot day? oops Iodine day?

Happily married to a Thai thanks... for ten years.. and she takes the piss as much as I do! However, she's a Uni Medical lecturer.... so she knows better.

What don't you accept about my posts, which generally are observant and truthful in content?

Edit: In addition, you sure have a total humour loss.

Gets my vote for distasteful post post of the day, hugely unnecessary.

Distasteful? Pls explain. You appreciate the idea of extra iodine injections into mothers? Are you a medic? Do you know the consequences of such?

You lost your humour too? Good lord.... in the next 6 months we'll have 20 death jumps from Chiang Mai hotels, because Chiang Mai TV posters are the most intellectual, but forgot humour in their lives. This is the internet. It's crass. Pls don't believe what you buy on Cookie Run is for free... jam dai mai na, na CRAP. Some news is true.

Unbelieveble...

No one ever dies in Thailand

Nope.. dead right. They get cremated, and come back as Bhikku monks.

Maybe they should stick to the infant formula advertised on the television that promises to make babies into geniuses.

I drank that; I believe it was being called suckled 50 years ago. Mummy didn't swim in UK Khlongs.... even the Mersey (shit-creek) was cleaner... seemed to serve me well, until I met a few unsuckled pigs of late, appropriating TV.

Edit: My middle name is not 'subtle' .. 555+

The usual coconuts sensationalist rubbish. It's a tub car with the rear suspension mounted to the engine which acts as a structural member and the mounts to the chassis tub are designed to break under heavy crashes so the driver suffers less impact. Just the same as an F1.

See Ralf Schumachers crash for the reason why.

Replica amulets are now available from a U.S.-based multi-level marketing company

Armedway?

<script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script>

Having lived here a while, precious little surprises me any more...

Where else would you put a dead body, everywhere around the world bodies are left in Taxi boots

Cut it up, of course, and eat it. Thai with lemon grass in green curry sauce.... yummy.

I wonder if the little fella has an older brother, and mam and dad were rich?

Or, EDIT: Tomorrow's news; Second taxi driver, best mates with another taxi driver, finds another body to boot!

Multi Level Marketing? In my time we called that a "pyramid scheme".

150 kph in heavy rain in a low-lying sports car on a bumpy Thai road? In my time we called that "sheer stupidity".

Wearing magical amulets to prevent bodily harm? In my time we called that "dark age attitude" or "claptrap superstition".

He may have seen Saint George, on his ancient horse, carrying the Holy Grail, after he just lost a 1M bet against 4 Chinese bookies?

They are designed to split in half???

Nope. The cockpit is designed to completely protect the occupant in any collision, and is designed in ways, with complex polymer mixes stronger than steel, that do not disintegrate (usually).

The only reason he walked away is more than likely that he was NOT wearing his seatbelt, and his body was so relaxed through intoxification that he simply rolled a few times down the road.

As for your video; the analysis is utterly stupid, by the American. I'm sure the Lambo approached the car turning into its drive at huge speed. As for saying in any crash it takes two to tango is utterly ridiculous, especially concerning a high-powered performance car travelling at speed vs. a sedan crawling into its yard. Takes 2 to look out? Tunnel vision is not something a sedan driver experiences, nor does react to. The collision was completely the fault of the Lambo driver.

In the case of the Thai... nothing more will be heard. Rest assured at that. His amulet saved him, and will continue to do so throughout any court case. Do you now know why some amulets are so valuable?

If he had caused death.... he'd be in Singapore now. Fortunately, he didn't; yet obviously has the 'dosh' to replace the car within a week. Same as another unknown, currently.

Besides, all of those illegal workers are now in Cambodia. So who is the Thai Fishing Industry trying to hoodwink now?

Don't believe that for a second. They are still out there, slaved away, after many years. Seas are big places. Planes can get lost in them, you know.

The real criminals maintain freedom to travel where they like, and move from what to what?

"The ministry officials were also told to place emphasis on education reform that span from the kindergarten to the primary levels.."

No doubt Iodine injections for mums? They boost intelligence in babies, and can therefore work in Kinder kids too. Sod book learning, and parents reading to their kids.

It's the rainy season from June (end of May) to September. Time to strengthen the sea wall with Iodine. It's national Iodine day. Iron content may rise a little, but calcium deposits in cement may be lacking.

0.8% contraction, 1.3% expansion. Hope the steel (iodinised iron) in Yokey tower can cope with this.
