R.I.P Paul Walker And Roger Rodas

Paul Walker, died 40 years old, while being a passenger at an event for Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Apparently 38 years old driver, Roger Rodas lost control of the car, a Porsche Carrera GT and crashed into a light pole at Santa Clarita, California, setting the car on fire and killing both of them.



Hollywood actor, and a racer, Paul Walker (known as Brian O´ Connor, from the Fast and Furious films) and one of his best friends, the philanthropist and racer Roger Rodas, died on November 30, 2013, on Santa Clarita, California, U.S.

There is still no evidence on what caused the car accident, but there are many suspicions speed and the type of car they were driving had a lot to do with it. The Porsche Carrera GT has three times the horsepower of the average car. It's notoriously difficult to handle, even for professional drivers. It also has its engine on the center. Having the engine in the middle of the car means it's more agile and turns more quickly than a car with the engine in the front or in the rear. And mainly because it has no electronic stability control. That means it's unforgiving with mistakes, and is very tricky to drive.

Lots of people, both close to him and people he didn´t even know mourn for Paul´s death. Those who worked with him, always considered him a great person, a brother or a friend. The Fast and Furious cast, all mourned deeply for his death. I´ll leave some links below so that you can see some videos of it. Some wrote on Twitter, others on Instagram and even on Facebook. 
Vien Diesel, his co-star on the films said:  "Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace." He then visited the place where he had died, and mourned for him.
Another Fast & Furious star, the rapper Ludacris, wrote: "Your humble spirit was felt from the start, wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark, we were like brothers."
Actor Tyrese Gibson, who had a very deep relationship with the actor,visited the place in which his friend died, and broke down in tears.
