I like the block landing right next to the "engine" area, as if you could just hoist it back up into place and fire it up! Now if it were only that easy.......

As mentioned, the driver is lucky it took flight in the direction it did. There's a reason for safety rules. I think part of the block is still connected. If you look closely at what is laying on the ground, I believe we are looking at the cylinders from the inside. Perhaps the block just split and it really did jump off the pistons?

Ok, after looking at it some more, it does look like the shortblock, or lower part of the crankcase, is still intact. Scary. Last edited by Dean_Kuzluzski; 01/27/11 01:36 PM.
