I thought I should post this as I know there are some Top Gear fans on here. Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has been involved in an accident, whilst filming for Top Gear in a jet powered car, trying to break a land speed record. A failure occured at over 200mph sending the car out of control, and he is currently said to be in "critical condition".

My condolences go out to his family, and I am shocked as I have actually met the man
I really hope he pulls through.
