Distracted by a bird? I think what they meant to say, is he was distracted by my hazards after I put 8 lengths on him..

Didn't know that either.

Was fortunate to see one in person at a Lambo dealer in Chicago awhile back - personally, thought it looked much better in the flesh than it does in photos. More purposeful and imposing.

I really wanted to drive down there to see if I could "clear it out".... I'm not prejudice, I'd still take her all wet.

Considering the wing is in its full upright position, that tends to indicate that he was going very fast.

I can hear it now after watching that video...

i think the spoiler goes down after it hits 120mph so he couldn't be going that fast

And no one drives on that road but crab fishermen, definately no real estate unless he was looking to by swamp front property...

The owner is also a salvage car rebuilder / reseller so he would be well aware that he should turn the motor off in water as opposed to leaving it running until it died on its own. Think I may drive down to Lufkin and see if there's any other inventory else he needs to claim on.

I didn't see the wing up in the 2nd video, must have come up hitting the water.

Amazing that was caught on film...by a few morons, no less. "I think it's a Lambo..."

So apparently he wasn't going that fast.

Video got taken down, anyone happen to pull it off the Tube before it was taken down?

Edit: Here is a new link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spM6PzX5yRo

Wow... one in a million chance to videotape that thing going into the water... I don't see a pelican anywhere...

1 of 15? Was it one of the several special editions? I am thinking all of the special edition high priced ones have unique paint/interior and that looks like a regular Veyron.

Something about this crash seems fishy (besides the current smell of the interior).

What are the odds that the crash was captured perfectly on video?

What are the odds that the crash occurred in perfect spot, devoid of walls, guardrails, posts, or deep water?

What are the odds that the guy who crashed the Bugatti is a salvage car rebuilder?

Can you say "Publicity Stunt"?

"PUBLICITY STUNT" Glad I'm not the only one who thought that after seeing the video.
