Dirtdiver wrote:According to various news reports, the driver was listed as Roger Rodas. He was an experienced race car driver who had two wins in the Pirelli Driver's Cup with Porsche and later moved up to the Pirelli World Challenge Series driving #52 Mustang Boss. He had his best finish in Toronto with a 5th place. Roger is also listed as owner of the Rodas Group (Financial Advisors) and the owner of Cielo Recycling.

Wow, that makes it a really odd thing then. Maybe he was a graduate of the Ryan Dunn school of driving. But seriously... It just goes to show that no matter your training or skill, the bottom line is anything can happen.

He was the founder of ROWW ( Reach Out Worldwide ) that was sponsoring a charity event for the affected People of the Philippines ( Tacloban haiyan Typhoon) when this happened. He also had this shirt for the benefit of the typhoon victims.



What the shirt says.
Tulong na - Lets Help ( in Tagalog)
Tabang na - Lets Help ( In Visayan Language)
Tayo na - Lets go ( in Tagalog)

When the Fast 6 visited the Philippines, the cast was very much welcomed and had a blast coz they never expected that they were that famous specially coming from a third world country. It just so sad that those people that are clean at heart are always the first one taken when they can do more to help other people. May you Rest in Peace Paul Walker.

The UK (trashy) paper The Mirror claims the incident has been caught on video...


"Fast and Furious star Paul Walker's final moments were caught on video by a couple who thought they were watching an action movie being made, it has been revealed.

The shocked man and woman started filming the red Porsche Carrera GT and caught the moment it smashed into a tree and burst into flames.

The footage could provide police crash investigators with vital evidence about the moments leading up to the fireball crash which killed 40-year-old Walker and driver pal Roger Rodas."

Obviously this accident wasn't the result of a fender-bender at legal speed limits, that much is certain.

What a shame, I was reading about this yesterday but didn't have an idea what to comment. I liked Paul Walker as an actor, the F & F franchise wouldn't have been what it is/was without him. RIP.

Did anyone see the video with the blue bmw? I wonder if that was the car they were racing. In the video it seems like they pulled up right after it happened. Its hard to hear exactly what was said, but it sounds like a bystander asks the two guys in the bmw if they were racing, and they say something like "no but we were coming from the same direction".

After the incident...

Still not seen the video of the actual incident.

After watching it again it sounds more like they asked "did you know them".

Scuttlebutt on the 'Net is that Walker was just about to expose some conspiracy to do with the Philippines disaster...

"Paul Walker and his friend were killed shortly after they discovered a conspiracy to supply victims of Typhoon Haiyan with a prototype permanent birth control drug hidden in medicinal supplies and food aid."

and also...

"Apparently, Paul Walker had discovered dirty money in the Philippines disaster relief and that would make sense because he owned a company that specialized in rapid disaster relief. "


Not sure at this stage of the legitimacy of either claim.... but the way this world is going, nothing would surprise me right about now.

Part 7 is still going to be made. They started shooting in Sept. and filming was on hold, but now has continued. I can only suspect that they will bring his death into the movie script. this is not the first time Hollywood has done it.

maybe...maybe not. Brandon Lee was killed during shooting of the Crow and they finalized it via cgi or something like that. Depends how far they were into shooting it. Either way it does suck. he left behind a 15yr old daughter.

& Roger has a 8yo son

Hey don't you know that no one cares about the driver as he wasn't a famous actor? Also everyone knows that Paul Walker was supposedly a "nice guy" so you should focus on that like everyone else.


Can you tell I'm getting tired of the general public's reaction to this?
