17 Hurt in Drag Crash at Million Youth Rally 2012

[evo69]

I'm keeping prays for the victims wellness and their family.I followed MUSC for the 1st round at Muar.I think the best event for the beginner like me.For my 2 cents opinion why not organiser starts event with open category + turbo open at noon and k-car or 1.6cc na at night becauce this kinds of car need more grip from tyres.I think at noon should be more grip than night.Only my 2 cents opinion....

Cheers

very simple to control crowd...setup barriers/barricades (fixed type like cycling events)...if the crowd pass this points ...do not let the cars run...use PA system to inform the crowd the race will only resume if they follow instructions.

Drivers are aware of the risk(Motorsports is Dangerous) but you cannot in any situation put the spectators at risk.

Of course, while spectating a live event, it is much more exhilarating if one could have the opportunity to be up-close to it, especially for motoring-related events. Being close to the roaring engines and screeching tires gives the satisfaction and adrenaline rush, making the experience more valuable and memorable. But upon all those, one should always prioritize on their own safety during attending such events because motorsports will always be dangerous, and one could not foresee when things are about to go wrong, like what happened last weekend.

2012 Drag battle crash @ Putrajaya - YouTube

17 spectators were reported injured; three in serious condition when one of the participating cars in a drag race held in conjunction with the Million Youths Rally 2012 skidded and went off course. The tragedy occurred somewhere around midnight on Saturday at the Wadi Ehsan Highway in Presint 19, Putrajaya.

<a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/drag7.jpg"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/drag7.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>

Among those in critical condition, two were still warded in the intensive care unit and one had to undergo an operation at Putrajaya Hospital. The driver meanwhile escaped the crash unscathed.

The car, said to be a Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo, was among the participants in the drag race making a trial run before the actual race took place. And it was on this trial run that the car suddenly lost control and swerved to the right, going over the curb before hitting the sea of people standing right beside the makeshift drag strip.

<a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/drag4.jpg"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/drag4.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="411" /></a>

Although the race was arranged by experienced organizers, there was no sanctioning body to monitor and supervise the motorized events held during the rally, said the Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

<a href="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/drag3.jpg"><img src="https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/drag3.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="402" /></a>

This statement is backed-up by the response of the Chairman of AAM, Y.M Tunku Datuk Mudzaffar Bin Tunku Mustapha himself, saying that all the motorsports-related events held in conjunction during the rally were not sanctioned by either the AAM or organized by any party affiliated to the AAM.

The organizers said that they had already warned the spectators to stay out of the prohibited area during the race, but the warning went unheeded when the event started and saw about 10,000 spectators lined up beside the drag strip.

Do not start the race, or call it off, is it worth someones life?

Judging from the organizer's statement, doesn't seem very professional. Talk more like a gangster, I'm not surprised shit happened.

bro, this is not the way to respond to public after incident happen.
from what written here, Main - Side Views - Drag racing ?monkeys? ? Qiu Yaofeng @ Wed May 30 2012

im sad to say u have to grow up alil bit. nothing good happens out of cabar-ing everyone and being all big gangster here and there with vulgarity.

this totally tarnish the name of motorsports bro. although u are protecting or being protective of your drivers n your side, but what do u think others will have in mind after reading your statement?

just my 2cents comment bro. hope u take all our feedback and comments constructively.

 

[ixeo]

The organizer did post on his own wall. For that he has my respect, the man got balls.

 

[ehdrian]

someone should cut and paste it in facebook...

bro, his comments is in his fb as well fyi..

 

[Charles]

If you were an organiser give such limited venue and resources, you have to weight the consequences/risk and take into account 'in motorsports anything can happen' situations. You do not go ahead and make a race JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING A RACE.
Now if you were Petronas or one of his major sponsors, would you want to give your marketing funds over to a loose cannon? Thats a bigger risk than NOT winning races.

 

[ixeo]

Well, that's the difference between just doing it like this MUSC, and doing it correctly like ZTH TTA. If you remember there was no TTA 2011.. so either do it RIGHT, or don't do it at all.

 

[Charles]

And based on his FB responses....only an idiot would believe he can dialog rationally.

 

[shark79]

if its coming from anyone then i can understand but not from the organizers..the drivers are also at risk dnt forget.We know in any events shit happens but we have to sit and think collectively to avoid this kind of incidents in near future..pls do not come out guns blazing instead.I wish those were wounded a speedy recovery..

mistake happens but i do not agree on the respond that was posted here.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

you are entrusted by the local authorities to run an event and ..like i said things happen but it is not right la bro to say wht you said.

 

[mdjames]

This guy has an ego issue...

Come on, accident happen already. Just admit the mistake, learn from it and move on so that he can organize a much safer event but instead putting the blame on everyone and making threat... like I have said before 3rd world mentality or even worst. Macam ni mana ada improvement?

It is this kind of people who makes the situation from bad to worse by playing the racial card when he do not want to own up to his mistakes.
Let me take a wild guess, in a few days time this will be fully covered up by his daddy no doubt.
