"Him and his buddy, his brother in arms at heart just decided to joyride, take a spin. Something we all do. We’re all car enthusiasts. ... We’re all here driving, enjoying each other, and God must’ve needed help,” said Antonio Holmes, who said he was a friend of Walker.
“We all heard from our location (the accident). It’s a little difficult to know what it was. Someone called it in and said it was a vehicle fire.
“We all ran around and jumped in cars and grabbed fire extinguishers and immediately went to the vehicle. It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped. Employees, friends of the shop. We tried. We tried. We went through fire extinguishers.”

This hits close to home. I had a friend in high school who died in a similar way. His car crashed and he was trapped while the car became engulfed in flames.

My Facebook timeline is blasted with Paul Walker now.
One of my friends met him at the local Tilted Kilt restaurant (lucky bitch).
The more I think about it, the more I can see why they decided drive fast like that. I've walked through that industrial park before and there is hardly any traffic in that park unless it connects to the area that leads to either the highway to the left or Walmart to the right. If they had decided to take a joy ride through a more crowded part of the city, such as the Town Center where the mall, Target, a bunch of Apartment Complexes and the movie theater were located, or even where Kohls and the college I go to are located, this might not have happened because they would have been driving at a slower pace because of other people's safety as opposed to the industrial park where hardly anyone drives through unless they are an employee.
) in the movie, then the plot will go to another direction
