Experienced or Dangerous? - Particulate Matters - Truck Trend Network

The activity at both the Departures and Arrivals area at any terminal is typically pretty chaotic, mainly due to the usually high volume of slow-speed traffic, and the fairly stout array of large vehicles—coach-style buses and limousines—that have... For whatever reason, a brand-new Porsche Panamera , driven by a 67-year-old gentleman, zoomed out of control, burst through a wall and steel beams, and became buried three-quarters of the way into the Terminal 7 ticketing/departure area. I can only imagine how horrific it must have been to actually see it happen, and what’s really disturbing is that a 9-year-old girl was very seriously injured when the out-of-control Porsche struck her before it hit the building. How “diesel” ties into this stems from my honest knee-jerk reaction when I heard the radio report about a Porsche Panamera crashing into a terminal at LAX: “I wonder if it was a diesel Panamera. ” I know, I know, oil-burning versions of Porsche’s luxury/sport sedan aren’t sold in the U. S. , and it probably sounds pretty psycho for a person to “go there” as a first thought about something so awful, but that’s truly where my mind went. See what working with diesels is doing to me. I never could confirm whether the Porsche was diesel powered or not. Source: www.trucktrend.com
