It may be a rather morbid topic but death is a daily occurrence in the lives of those of us who are fortunate enough to have eluded it till this moment. So its with this in mind that I'm starting this topic as a hat tipping gesture to those who weren't (or were- depending) so fortunate. I thought to do so after just reading that one of my closest watched sports personalities died in a helicopter crash. Colin McRae, one of the best ever World Rally Champions, died in an accident totally unconnected with the risk he took for years racing WRC cars. He died with his six year old son (and a friend of his son's and his father). As avid pursuer of all things fast and speedy, I hadn't felt like this since the death of the brilliant Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna.

So this thread is for all those who have lost someone of any meaning in their lives, whether close or distant, friend or enemy, and who would wish to acknowledge their lives and to say goodbye.

Rest In Peace Colin McRae .

Aye, I was shocked when I woke up to the news yesterday morning.

A sad loss indeed.

Actually wen i heard, i was so shocked.

This guy could have died some years ago during is race, he should have died during those fatal accident with is sport car.

But God have reasons for every thing

An handsome guy indeed.
