that does make sense i guess it just scrambles your braing inside your skull. un-real

wow. from tire vibration..in a regular car a vibrating tire gives a shaky steering wheel..in a funny car results in death.what could of caused a shaky tire? lugnuts not tightened? out of balance?

Loss of traction, too much traction.

His death technically was from the family pulling the plug.

[Reverend Cooper]

yah but he was brain dead correct?

[Brandon W.]

yah but he was brain dead correct?

im assuming so. thats probably why the family took him of life support..i feel deeply sorry for having to go through that. even though it might have been the right thing. im sure it was still difficult.
