That second one looked like a plane crash. Glad Rocky survived & is OK. They really need to look at some of those privateer's credentials. A large check book is not enough.
I stepped out for a bit earlier and missed Audi crash #2 so I've been looking 'round for video. Don't know who's seen what but the best clip I've seen yet comes at the end of this one. I think they're saying it's a bit of spectator video, about 20 seconds long and starts around 7:30, give or take.

Rocky's little issue. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmn2YgPJEUE]YouTube - 24h LeMans Rockenfeller heavy Crash‏[/ame]
This has always been an issue in endurance racer. With 4 different classes and speed differences of 50 mph or more there are bound to be accidents. There is also the issue of amateur drivers and professionals on the same track. I am happy that none of the drivers were injured.
