If the video makes it look like jack and shit, which it does, then the video does not make it worse. Both things cant be true at the same time.
The video isn't really damaging outside of them walking away. But that doesn't make the video super violent or dangerous looking.

Well I actually disagree with the premise that it looked like a “slow motion spin out” or didn’t look bad. I was hoping that by posting info on the rates of speed you could see that it was that bad, despite the way you perceive it to be.
I think this is actually a big part of the reason car accidents are so dangerous. People are so flippant about getting inside a 3,000 pound box of metal traveling at insane speeds. They overestimate their own ability and underestimate the danger.
I don’t think I’m going to change your mind on the actual collision looking “bad” or not but we know Rashee was driving at speeds in excess of 115 mph on a major highway near rush hour, we have him on video drag racing up the median going, and causing a five or six car pileup spanning the entire four lanes. At one point two card ended up sideways, backwards.
A video is always going to get more play than an article. Blame our short attention spans or low literacy rates, but that’s just the way it is.
