Unbearably sad. RIP.

Someone told me before he was a boyhood blue?

You've been had on there pal

Rip Diego and andre.

When out of curiosity? 2 lives make headlines and outpouring of support while ignoring millions devastated in prime time

Maybe just a different thread mate! However we don't have the current affairs forum any longer so maybe a different website! However I understand your point. But this thread is about its own sad topic..

Mate, it’s not about you.

Christ’s sake he was a red and we’re all devvoed about it. This does not have to be a crusade. Yes other people die, and yes they also get mourned. In this city we stand by those touched by tragedy but I don’t suppose you’d know that.

Famous people have touched more people, so more people will mourn.

Get over yourself, and say something nice or shut up.

Always seems to hit me more in the gut when it’s a member of the football family even if they play for our fiercest rivals. Obviously that’s outside people I know personally.

Nothing left of the lamborghini him and his brother were travelling in. Must has been a horrendous crash. Possibly speed involved...rip.

Tyre blow out wasn’t it. Crashed and car went on fire. Can happen even if not speeding. Terribly unlucky. Don’t know if they were speeding or not but doesn’t really matter I guess

 

[BullensRoad]

Absolutely horrendous. Was a player I've always admired. Scored an absolute belta against us too.

Thoughts with his family and friends after two tragic losses.

190 miles into a trip from Porto to Santander according to The Telegraph. Could it be a possibility that a car like a Lamborghini can't handled such distances at speed and therefore the tyre has exploded? RIP.

The grief police vibe on this thread is embarrassing.
This is a place and thread for people to communicate their feelings and emotions on a tragic event. Bit weird to question the reasons why people want to do this if I’m honest.

Tragic news. so so sad. Bless you Diogo. RIP.

Also the heat. I had to let air out of the MIL's tyres the other day as they were well over recommended due to them being done to near max when it was a whole lot cooler.
Long run, high speed (60+), and high temps aren't a good mix at all.

Automatic gearbox and rear wheel drive in a lambo. Controlling a blow out on an overtake in a lamborghini i thinks difficult for even a professional driver even at a moderate speed.

The cost of the tyres and the maintenance of the vehicle cost a fortune. Horrendously bad luck or something else struck the tyre.

Ive only ever had 1 tyre blow out on me. Over 25 years ago. VW Golf. Im glad it was a front wheel drive.
Quarter of a million pound sports car. Auto transmission. Rear wheel drive. Once that rear end goes they needed all the luck in the world.
Terrible tragedy.

 

[anjelikaferrett]

….was just talking about his parents with Mrs Eggs, they’ll be absolutely distraught. Such a tragic situation.

That was my first thoughts too. I can't imagine how his parents will feel. It's just so sad.

Yeah...i wouldn't expect though driven a lamborgini for the tyre to blow. Saying that according to locals that particular section of the road is notoriously bad with uneven surface which I guess could have caused the tyre to blow. Very unlucky indeed...but those super sports cars are a danger for young drivers.
