Investigators said it did not appear to be suicide:
“We have not found anything to lead us to believe Mr. McClendon’s death is a suicide,” said Oklahoma City police Capt. Paco Balderrama. “We can’t rule out suicide as a cause of the crash, but we have found no evidence which would lead us to believe it was a suicide…
At the time, Balderrama said the cause of the crash seems “pretty cut and dry.”
“He pretty much drove straight into the wall,” Balderrama said on March 2, according to NBC affiliate KFOR. “The information out there at the scene is that he went left of center, went through a grassy area right before colliding into the embankment. There was plenty of opportunity for him to correct and get back on the roadway and that didn’t occur.”
In March, Police released information from a data box from McClendon’s car.
It registered he was traveling at 88 miles per hour just five seconds before the crash.
The box also recorded he went left of center 189 feet before the point of impact.
Investigators said McClendon maintained that speed of 88 miles per hour almost up until the time that he hit the bridge.
At the point of impact, his car was traveling 78 miles per hour.
At the time, Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty said McClendon tapped his brakes several times before impact, but there were no skid marks left on the road.
“It didn’t really slow the vehicle down,” Citty said.
However, Citty said McClendon let off the brake completely just before he hit the bridge.
So he braked again and again, with no effect, as his car careened at a bridge abutment. Note his foot had to leave the accelerator to hit the brake, while he was doing 90 MPH in an SUV, but the car did not slow down on grass – except at the last minute when you would disconnect from the system to prevent leaving forensic evidence in the computer. And despite hitting the brake pedal, he left no marks of braking on a grassy area.
Still think the car that almost rammed Trump’s Limo was an innocent accident? Q was right.
It is a terrifying idea, as we head into the Apocalypse. Those with the power to hire first rate intel, will be able to kill whoever they want, and there will be no trace of it. Every car can kill it’s driver on a moment’s notice, or it can take out any pedestrian within range. It is like the Matrix, where anyone’s body could be taken over by an Agent.
I’m not sure how you can prevent that with newer cars, short of creating a small Spark Gap Generator positioned in such a way to block all radio signals in, from the manufacturer’s internet connection for system updates, the navigation system, 4G, wifi, tire pressure radio signals, Bluetooth, and all the other radio-networked systems in modern cars, which so often are not firewalled from the main computer.
We really need a non-Cabal-compromised company which strips the electronic controls out of cars, and installs regular old physical linkage-controlled systems and equipment.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because those who adapt in K-selection will be those that survive
I would nix the spark gap generator idea. Your rf would be spread so far over the spectrum that you’d need considerable power just to jam incoming signals. And there’s no guarantee you’d be able to generate enough rf in the frequencies that need jamming in the first place. Then you would also be giving away the game. Anyone with some sort of receiver and a directional antenna will be able to DF you pretty quickly. Not to mention the interference with your own gear which I saw all the time in Afghanistan. You’d have idiots driving their MRAPs onto base with their jamming gear still on, and take down comms across the whole base.
You would be better off taking an interest in classic cars, without any fancy electronics to fuss with. If you can’t swing that, get a base model car without any fancy rf gear, since it seems the problem lies with remotely controlling that stuff.
Anybody could of had that guy whacked. Exxon Mobil, the Bushes, the Russians, Saudis are all prime suspects. Someone could of been blackmailing him as well, and he just refused their demands. You would think CEO’s would have security to deal with something like this, but their security is either compromised or virtually non-existent. Why they collectively don’t demand better is obvious.
“We really need a non-Cabal-compromised company which strips the electronic controls out of cars, and installs regular old physical linkage-controlled systems and equipment.”
About that – it’s illegal in every state that I’ve ever lived in. That means no company will do it, even though it would be worth doing just to put better computers into the cars in a setup that was maintenance friendly, let alone to prevent hacking. It will get caught with most smog checks and other mandated yearly state inspections.
Often the only way around is to quite literally build your own car using the laws set up for the hot rod/kit building guys. Or start looking for a early 1990’s or older vehicle with the understanding that you will be keeping and rebuilding it for the rest of your life.
On that note I’ve long had a plan to build a 1967 Fastback from a Dynacorn body shell…. but when priced out it’s as expensive as buying a brand new Mustang GT without being able to finance it. It’s unattainable for the masses in the same way as buying rural land to build their own off grid home is (I prefer the Earthship design).
The whole system is designed to trap you into only that which can be financed.
This is why I drive a stick.
I’m sure I’ll be hoisted on my own petard for saying this, but man am I glad I drive a manual transmission.
Regarding weirdness surrounding fracking. The horrific train wreck in Quebec, involving tanker cars loaded with tar sands oil, is another strange saga. I remember right after it occurred there was mention of tampering that took place with the parked train engine’s brakes..then nothing was ever mentioned again. Down the memory hole went that information. Very weird, strange and horrific.
That rail line was a major conduit for tar sands oil from the Balken shield to Irving Oil’s giant refinery in New Brunswick. A much cheaper and more stable source of crude for them to process than anything coming from the Middle East.
While I drove (I am approaching my seventy-fourth birthday, from which perspective a motor vehicle looks like a crematorium for dead presidents.) I always preferred a stick shift: Automatic is too close to autonomous for my liking.
Too, I learned from the experience of others that speed is directly proportional to risk of loss of control.
Further I had my first centerfire handgun three years before I began driving. Since I had already known that a motor vehicle could easily be a deadly weapon and/or destructive device, I operated my car by the rules of proper conduct for those lawfully armed in civil society.
Finally, For many years I drove a company car at work. If you are driving another person’s car on trust, treat it like dating your best buddy’s virgin kid sister: Bring herr home intact.
and people wonder why Tesla is still in business
