Crash in kw
 
Does anyone know what happened, we could not see anything but we did see a medical boat pass us doing CPR on someone. I hope there ok.

Gladhe8er 11-09-2011 01:45 PM

Did Big Thunder flip or just rip the right sponson off? Motley Crew definitely went over.

Superheat 11-09-2011 01:46 PM

Mark, was it Bob that they were loading up? Prayers to his family. God bless to all, it seemed like a long hard day for the sport.

TomFTM 11-09-2011 01:54 PM

We seem to have conflicting info here. Can anyone confirm everyone is okay? Let's hope so... :(

Motley was dragged in right side up Looking at it right now. Maritimo also spun but was able to get it going again

Big Thunder is flipped in the pic I saw on MWBP.
Wild posted on MWBP that Bob and JT were on the way to the hospital to get checked out.

DriverofDonzi 11-09-2011 02:31 PM

Look like Big Thunder is done at Key West due severe damage. Hope everyone is ok! Prayers sent out to everyone for safe racing on Friday!

Seems like bad day for super cat teams due water was so choppy! :( :(

Wow, that is the first race boat I have seen with 4 # 6's hanging off the back, which I figured would decrease the flip %. I hope they are all going to be ok. Very sad to see them all happy in the freeze frame pics and a couple days later be in this situation. Thoughts and prayers.

OL40SVX 11-09-2011 02:39 PM

Here's a quick vid I found on you tube. Unreal. Hope Bob and crew are ok.

Wow - the internet is amazing!

That looks more like a hydroplane than a 46 foot skater. That sucker was WAY out of the water!

I thought they rolled in a turn. That sure looks nasty.

Cash Bar 11-09-2011 02:47 PM

HOLY HECK !!!


I am stunned after watching that.

PokerRun388 11-09-2011 02:47 PM

OL40, I can't tell, did it land upside down?

Nauti Kitty 11-09-2011 02:50 PM

Looks like maybe it landed backwards Being where it was I bet a few others might have pics eventually

Holy smokes. At 21 secs. in the video the boat is all the way up out of the water quite a distance. Hope everyone is OK.

fountain1fan 11-09-2011 02:54 PM

DriverofDonzi 11-09-2011 02:57 PM

My god.....so sorry for the team that worked very hard to get that boat ready for the race and now that boat has severe damages that cost so much $$$$ to repair :( :( :( that really sucks!

Chris

Dean Ferry 11-09-2011 02:58 PM

The video shows it "Kited" just like an Hydro! Hope all are ok!

skater40 11-09-2011 02:59 PM

I would say that boat is officially retired from racing after that accident. Really no point in putting it back together unless its used as a showpiece.

us1kw 11-09-2011 03:15 PM

Our prayers need to go out to Bob and JT. They are both in the hospital with serious injuries...

fandango 11-09-2011 03:16 PM

On medboat 3. We pulled driver up. It was ugly. Luckily our driver responded to treatment and started breathing. Not sure of status.

SpeedGirl 11-09-2011 03:17 PM

Prayers being sent to the Big Thunder team

chewiekw 11-09-2011 03:18 PM
