Jimminy Crickets that car had to be breaking the sound barrier to throw the engine that far.

WikiLeaks says Michael Hastings contacted it just before his death. Are they implying he was murdered?
"...WikiLeaks just threw some gasoline onto the conspiracy fire. On Wednesday night, they Tweeted: “Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him.”..."

There is no way that was a 100MPH accident. Thats 160 in our language and even a merc is going to seriously disassemble at those speeds. To me it looks like a slow kind of rolling stop. I saw the charred base of the tree, it looks like it took a hit but not that big a hit. Maybe the guy died before the vehicle stopped moving then someone torched it. No idea what that old guy was spraying it with water. That's not going to help. Just going to make sure hot steam.

That car was parked in front of that tree and detonated. It did not hit at high speed.

Hard to conceive how a Mercedes Benz, which is engineered to be the safest automobile in the world, could catch on fire like that from a frontal crash, no matter the speed.

I am thinking the bomb went off, blew the engine out, then caused the car to careen into the tree. The engine is on the right side of the divided road, basically where the car had passed by already.
