  1. Michael Hastings
    That is a very bizarre story. Apparently, modern cars (especially the techy Mercedes models, like the one Mr. Hastings was driving) have “black boxes” that could tell a lot about what was going on when the crash occurred.

    Wonder who has the “black box” now…and if its actual contents will ever be made public?

    1. Black box

      The fire was so all-consuming that it took the Los Angeles County coroner’s office two days to identify Hastings’ body, but Clarke said a cyber attack on the vehicle would have been nearly impossible to trace “even if the dozen or so computers on board hadn’t melted.”

      By the looks of it, who knows if the black box survived the crash.

      I also read that Hastings’ body was cremated, this despite the family’s wishes; which only adds wood to the conspiratorial fire.

    1. Colorado
      Yep, I mentioned that one on the last Red Pills of the Week.

      Re. Rogan: I really wanna watch the show, so I’ll guess I have no choice but to resort to nefarious channels to procure it –Sorry SyFy, you started it when you decided to geo-block your stuff…
