   Colin McRae dead in helicopter crash
  It looks that way anyway, the police haven't formally identified the bodies but they have said they believe that McRae and his 5-year old son were killed when his helicopter crashed in Scotland.That's the 2nd Scottish rally driver to die after appearing in a computer game (Richard Burns died a few years ago from a brain haemorrhage).So RIP Colin. He was the driver with the most rally wins. The game was pretty good too by all accounts, I wonder if they will keep the series going as a tribute or not.[Edited by - Paradigm Shifter on September 16, 2007 8:02:05 AM]
  I saw this on BBC and was shocked. This guy was great. I still hope it is some kind of misunderstanding or something. By the way, he was called McRae not McCrae.;  Oops, can't edit the thread title now anyway.Here's the link on BBC, looks like another kid was on the chopper as well, very sad indeed.Link;  Possum Borne, Richard Burns, Colin Mcrae...they spend their lives flying around matchstick wide gravel roads at top speeds with deadly trees rocks and cliff faces on either side and all of them die by totally random shit unrelated to rally driving. Tis a sad day indeed =(   ;Quote:Original post by Paradigm ShifterOops, can't edit the thread title now anyway.*works some moderator magic on the title*;  Cheers phants. You can change the thread title on CivFanaticsForums if you edit it within 10 minutes of posting a thread you know. Maybe GameDev needs to trade techs with them or is it a case of "We Fear You Are Becoming Too Advanced" (lame Civ reference).   ;  You should already be able to. If you hit the edit button on your original post it should come up with all the details of it, including the header (if I hit edit on your post I can see it, I just can't save it). And I think unless the thread is retired 3 months from now, you can do it any time before then.   ;Quote:Original post by Paradigm ShifterYou can change the thread title on CivFanaticsForums if you edit it within 10 minutes of posting a thread you know.You can change the thread title on GameDev forever. Edit your original post.   ;Quote:Original post by Paradigm ShifterThat's the 2nd Scottish rally driver to die after appearing in a computer game (Richard Burns died a few years ago from a brain haemorrhage).Richard Burns was English (born in Reading). :)Shame his death got massively overshadowed by George Best's death.At work was chatting to one of my bosses about how ironic it is for him to die in something not rally related.R.I.P. All that died in this tragedy.
