I hate that red x.

Sometimes I can make it show up by selecting a different view method but it never works here. I guess its because it is hosted somewhere else.

I'm a new guy. What's the red "X"? Is it because this crash was already posted somewhere else and the driver was killed? Very disturbing photo.

It's a C5 tucked under the back of a semi trailer. Looks like it took th top off. I hope the occupants ducked.

I see the image fine. I usually host all my own pics on our server but this time I just linked to the location where the pic was when originally sent to me. Guess I won't do that anymore.

If you do as 427V8 indicates you should be able to see the pic. You can also try just right clicking on it and select view image.

Yellow tarp = there is a caution on the track slow down to pace car speed

So much for those bars that hang down behind the trailers. They're supposed to stop cars from doing this, but I guess Vettes are too low. It even looks like it is pushed up there behind the tires...
