Whenever I wonder why Boomers are so emotionally detached from anything sensitive, I remind myself that they were raised in a world where 15 people could be killed in a bloodbath catastrophe during a car race, and the race would happily continue with wreaths and champagne for the winner, while the news reel plays uplifting big band music.
its not emotionally detached, its being robust, life is pain, eat it.
Think about it - This is a mere 16 years from 1945 and bloodshed where 1000+ death PER DAY, was so normal you just toned it out and that was just the deaths you knew about.
80 millions deaths from WW2 if you count most of it.
Like they would think twice about priviledged people killing themselves for fun, doing something they loved to see (racing).
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday if you want purpose in life.
Compare yourself to people in history if you want to whine about your life.
We have had it to good for to long ,I feel a break is coming sadly,but a stronger people will raise from the fall , honor will again have value and selfishness will become something of lost memory
Keep in mind this was less than 25 years off the end of the ww2 and the nuclear bombing in japan too. Generational culture.
Fourteen spectators! I never heard of this tragedy that's definitely a record of sorts,a tragic one no doubt, fun fact the sporting event that saw the most spectators die in a single event was in ancient Rome I believe, stadium collapsed
Wait till ya hear about the Le Mans disaster in 1955…83 spectators and 1 driver killed.
@@vesnabernjak-ord8674 I just recently learned about it that's insane,but I still think the one in ancient Rome I believe has it beat
96 died in hillsborough disaster. The scousers don’t mention it much
Jochen rindt who admired von trips died in almost the same spot
They were both fighting for the championship
@@EynerZagalBackup both in vicious fashion.
@@nolancain8792 as well the closest drivers to the championship were both Ferrari drivers Phil Hill and Jacky Ickx But 1961 was the title fight
@@EynerZagalBackup Jacky Ickx n'était pas un pilote Ferrari en 1961. Il était trop jeune, né en 1945.
Slid down under his seat belt and cut his throat
0:10 "it was to prove Von Trip's last race"
*TRIUMPHANT BAND MUSIC INTENSIFIES*
Odd coincidence regarding this tragedy.
Phil Hill was America's first World Champion. The only other person who could win the title that year was his Ferrari teammate, von Tripps. Hill clinched the title when von Tripps was killed in the accident with Jimmy Clark at Monza.
Mario Andretti was America's second World Champion. The only other person who win the title that year was his Lotus teammate, Ronnie Peterson. Andretti clinched the title when Peterson died the day after his accident at Monza.
Both accidents occurred on September 10. Jimmy Clark was driving a Lotus.
it's like the Lincoln and Kennedy coincidences! Very interesting, thank you!
they announce the slew of deaths as if it were a rain delay 😃😢
When at that time dying was pretty much a normal occurrence in motorsports 🙃😀
This was in an era (I know personally) when people were not surprised by death nor shaken as much as are people today, This is only 15 years past WW2 and 60+ million war and criminal deaths occurred. These men knew and accepted the risks. Today we stop a race when a death happens. My question is..."should we?" ...or do we honor the driver more by continuing?
This. There was an interview with a racing driver from the 1950s about it, in around 1965, and he said, well, compared to the War, this is mildly dangerous and fun at the same time, so noone really cared, except when it was the audience that got killed in masses like LM 55 (81+) and Monza 61 (14) or Monza 28 (Emilio Materassi, 27+)
Pretty crazy to think how stupid people were in the 20th century. 14 spectators killed?! Why don’t you move them away from the 1 ton vehicles moving at break neck speeds curving around corners?
It was 1961, safety wasn’t common place like today. Remember that back then, racing tracks like Monza hadn’t brought in proper catch fencing and on some stretches there was nothing but trees to stop you, also the cars didn’t have seatbelts to if you were in a crash you’d be launched out of the car. On some tracks in the 60s, Spa, Nurburgring and Monaco, didn’t even have anything separating cars from people aside from a few hay bales or temporary mesh fencing in rare cases. The thought of spectator fatalities were taken into account by adding a small note on the back of your ticket. It’s not uncommon back then for people to die at racing events it still happens today although very rarely.
You have to think that even in the 21sr century spectators at rallies in forest stages still stand in silly places with 1 ton vehicles bearing down on them. Some things don’t change and maybe the sensible ones have to think for those who aren’t.
keep in mind these people and their fathers spent their lives getting shot at and blowing up entire cities. Safety didnt matter much
This Italian Grand Prix in 1961 at Monza is indeed the most dramatic in the history of F1, Wolfgang Von Trips finds himself thrown from his Ferrari, he is killed instantly, his neck broken, along with 14 spectators are killed, originally a collision with the Lotus of Jim Clark, it is certain by evoking Ayrton Senna an exceptional driver who became an icon of Formula 1, it is certain that we describe the Grand Prix of Saint- Marin as the blackest in the history of Formula 1, which can be considered at least as dramatic as that of the Belgian Grand Prix in 1960 when Chris Bristow and Alan Stacy were killed 5 laps apart .
When I went to a 1980s British Grand Prix I bought a ticket.
On the back of the ticket, it said 'Motor Racing Is Dangerous. You are here at your own risk, and some more words about how it would be my fault when I died.
Most businesses that give tickets to prove you have paid are entering into a duty of care.
But not the British Racing Driver's Club, that's for sure.

1960s be like: *later that night while the celebrations are winding down* "oh by the way your teammate and more than a dozen innocent civilians were killed early in the race. Want a champagne refill?"

Yea it’s weird
Really weird
justsome Streamer what is there to say ? Absolute disaster .The banked circuit was as obsellete as Daytona is today .Should have been abandoned after the previous stupid Race ,"The Monzanapolis".Formula one is special and should be kept so ."Taffy" was much missed !
No word
@@mauricelevy9027 Though the crash happened just before the parabolica, so not really the fault of the bankings in this case
Bill burr and Theo von brought me here
Only Connect brought me here. Tragic then, and tragic that so few people know about it now.
Life is for living and these guys lived life to an extent un known to all the modern moaners and groaners, sad about spectators but perhaps even they knew they were in risky positions unlike today where there often so far away its like watching slot car racing.
I remember Wolfgang von trip and Jochen Rindt i was 16and we didn have tv so horrible
Damn
I love this
??
15 people killed and the race went on. Imagine if that happened today? ? People would rightfully be livid
Back in those days the race wouldn't be stopped to avoid crowds flooding out of the circuit and blocking roads for ambulances trying to get to the wounded. Just as it happened in '55 in le mans tragedy
