English
Richard Hammond, co-presenter for BBC's "Top Gear" tried to break the english land speed record in a jet-powered car and crashed while doing about 400 km/h.
He suffered severe injuries, including brain injury, but miraculously he survived and is presenting his own accident in the new season of TG.
Not only does he have the NADS to defy death and disaster, he has a GREAT sense of humor regarding the personal effects of such disaster.
I hope to see more of him, but, more importantly, I really , REALLY hope he lives to a ripe old age. Mankind does not make too many men of this caliber.
*screeeech. . . . . . . smack
ouch.....
Top Gear.. is SO Fun..

And in case you forgot (or didnt know), the world land speed record is held by a British car with a British driver.
