Journalist Michael Hastings Dies While Speeding So Fast His Car's Engine Was Thrown Over 150 Feet Past The Crash

When BuzzFeed writer Michael Hastings hit a palm tree while speeding down a residential street in Los Angeles, he was traveling so fast not only did the car explode when he lost control and hit the tree, but the entire engine was ejected from the car and landed over 150 feet away from the crash.  I can't even imagine what would possess anyone to so recklessly endanger other people's lives by going so fast down a residential street.

But given the current culture of Washington DC, apparently it's not just the out of control politicians who believe laws should only apply to other people - but never to them.
