178 раненых и 84 погибших. Как во Франции произошла самая страшная авария в истории автоспорта

Гонки — это гипнотизирующее зрелище. Если не вживую, то хотя бы на записях многие видели, как особо фанатичные зрители часто подходят буквально вплотную к трассам, чтобы посмотреть на манёвры автомобилей с лучшего ракурса. К трассам, по которым в сантиметрах от людей проносятся автомобили на огромной скорости. Кажется, что ещё чуть-чуть — и случится страшное. Но почти всегда обходится. Самая же страшная трагедия в истории автоспорта по иронии судьбы настигла людей в самом безопасном месте — на трибуне. Случилось это 11 июня 1955 года. В связи с недавней годовщиной трагедии вспоминаем, как она произошла.

Гонка, во время которой произошла авария, называется «24 часа Ле-Мана». Она ежегодно проходит по сей день начиная с 1923 года. Название соревнование получило в честь французского города Ле-Ман, возле которого располагается трасса, и формата — гонщики совершают 24-часовой заезд. «24 часа Ле-Мана» считается старейшей из ныне существующих гонок на выносливость.

Изначально на трассу выезжали серийные скоростные автомобили с открытыми кабинами. Позже их заменили так называемые спорткары. Сегодня и вовсе используются прототипы, представляющие из себя нечто вроде гибридов болидов «Формулы-1» и роскошных серийных суперкаров вроде Ferrari, McLaren, Koenigsegg.

Ле-Ман сегодня и Ле-Ман тогда — две разные вещи

Вернёмся в 1955 год. На трассу выезжает несколько десятков спорткаров от известных автомобильных производителей. Главными конкурентами являются Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz и Jaguar. После войны европейские компании с особым энтузиазмом принялись навёрстывать упущенные годы.

Автоконцерны радикально совершенствовали свои спорткары и быстро наращивали их мощность. К 1955 году болиды разгонялись до 300 км/ч и выше. На фоне прогресса автомобилестроителей удручающе выглядела организация турниров. Правила проведения гонок практически не изменились с 1923-го — года, когда самые быстрые машины едва разгонялись до 100 км/ч.

Несмотря на троекратно возросшую скорость, в автомобилях всё ещё не появились ремни безопасности (пилоты считали, что в момент аварии лучше вылететь из транспорта, нежели оказаться зажатым искорёженным металлом). Трасса для «24 часа Ле-Мана» за более чем 30 лет дорабатывалась только дважды. Но не во имя повышения безопасности, а ради укорачивания.

Невероятная история. Малоизвестные факты из прошлого

Еще

Фаворитами гонки 1955 года являлись Пьер Левег на серебряной стреле Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, Лэнс Маклин на Austin-Healey 100 и Майк Хоторн на Jaguar D-type. Автомобили Mercedes и Jaguar были в тот момент на острие прогресса. Немецкий спорткар получил корпус из сплава магния, который оказался легче алюминия, и новый 8-цилиндровый V-образный двигатель на 3 л. Британец же щеголял новомодными дисковыми тормозами, тогда как пилоту Mercedes пришлось довольствоваться классическими барабанными.

Цепочка роковых событий

Лидеры гонки (вышеупомянутая тройка) добивали 35-й круг. Левег на 300 SLR шёл на третьем месте. Хоторн на Jaguar D-Type только-только обогнал Лэнса Маклина на Austin-Healey 100 и вырвался на первое место. Приближается линия торможения с пит-стопами и забитыми до отказа трибунами.

Из-за агрессивного манёвра в самом конце круга Майк Хоторн поздно замечает сигнал пит-стопа. Не желая начинать новый круг без технического осмотра, он начинает тормозить. Британский автомобиль с новыми тормозами быстро сбрасывает скорость, что сбивает с толку следующего за ним впритык Лэнса Маклина. Austin-Healey 100 резко выруливает из-за Jaguar. Левег замечает появившееся препятствие, но успевает только предупредить жестом позади идущего товарища по команде. На скорости около 240 км/ч Mercedes наезжает на Austin-Healey 100 и подпрыгивает, словно на трамплине.

Столкновение происходит на участке, где по обе стороны трассы расположены трибуны. Автомобиль Левега клюёт отбойник, отчего начинает вращаться и разрываться на куски. Каждый из которых на такой скорости — смертельный снаряд.

Mercedes-Benz превратился в Mercedes-убийцу

Отделившийся капот летит в толпу и, словно бритва, обезглавливает нескольких зрителей. Блок цилиндра, радиатор, передняя подвеска и другие тяжёлые запчасти, словно ядра, разрывают людей в клочья на 100 метров вперёд. Пилот Пьер Левег тоже погибает. Удар выбрасывает гонщика из автомобиля, и во время приземления его череп просто трескается. Мгновенная смерть.

— Сцена на другой стороне дороги неописуема. Мёртвые и умирающие люди повсюду. Многие из них истошно вопят от боли. Я оцепенел, как во сне, и испугался настолько, что не мог даже думать, — вспоминает один из пилотов команды Jaguar, наблюдавший трагедию со стороны.

На этом кровавая баня не заканчивается. Топливный бак остановившегося автомобиля Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR взрывается, что увеличивает число жертв. Сплав магния начинает с треском плавиться. Окалины раскалённого металла летят на трассу и на трибуны. Спасатели, которые понятия не имели, как тушить магний, заливают огонь водой, что только усугубляет ситуацию — пожар усиливается. Машина горит больше часа.

Меж тем Лэнс Маклин на повреждённом автомобиле Austin-Healey 100 таранит левый отбойник, отскакивает и сбивает полицейского, фотографа и ещё двух человек, каждый из них получает тяжелейшие увечья. Пилот чудом выживает.

Всего же инцидент унёс жизни 84 человек и искалечил ещё, по разным данным, от 120 до 178 зрителей. Бывали чёрные дни в истории автоспорта и после этого случая, но авария на «24 часа Ле-Мана» в 1955 году по-прежнему считается самой страшной.

Мир автоспорта изменился навсегда

Как ни странно, гонка не остановилась. Организаторы посчитали, что, покидая трассу, зрители заблокируют проезд для скорой помощи. Победила в том заезде команда Jaguar во главе с Майком Хоторном. Он праздновал победу с шампанским на следующий день, когда начались похороны погибших в аварии.

Многие журналисты посчитали Хоторна главным виновником трагедии. Ведь именно он начал экстренное торможение, повлёкшее за собой цепочку роковых событий. Впрочем, расследование теорию прессы не подтвердило и признало аварию несчастным случаем.

Команда Mercedes-Benz снялась с турнира в тот же день. После трагедии немцы в том году приняли участие ещё в двух соревнованиях и выиграли. А потом на несколько десятилетий ушли из соревнований, финансируемых автопроизводителями. Компания официально заявила, что сосредоточится на разработке легковых потребительских автомобилей. Mercedes-Benz вернулась к кольцевым гонкам только в 80-х годах.

После трагедии в Ле-Мане мир автоспорта изменился навсегда. Во Франции, Испании, Швейцарии и Германии гонки запретили до тех пор, пока организаторы не разработают новые стандарты безопасности и не приведут трассы в соответствие им же. Эхо страшной аварии докатилось даже до другого континента. В США ликвидировалась Американская автомобильная ассоциация — главная на тот момент гоночная организация Америки.

Где-то ограничения продержались недолго. Во Франции, где и произошла авария, гонки возобновились уже осенью того же года. В большинстве других регионов — через год. А, например, в Швейцарии впервые после 1955 года вопрос об амнистии автоспорта поднялся только в 2003 году. Что, впрочем, не привело к разрешению гонок. Смягчились запреты только в 2015-м: власти Швейцарии пустили на свою территорию «Формулу-Е».

Сама трасса, на которой проводится «24 часа Ле-Ман», после аварии, разумеется, сильно преобразилась. Например, между трибунами и трассами прорыли широкий ров. Площадь пит-стопов тоже расширилась — заезжать на них стало проще. Увеличилась полоса замедления.

Джон Фитч, второй пилот, который должен был заменить погибшего Пьера Левега, после аварии стал одним из главных сторонников повышения безопасности гоночных трасс и автомобилей. Именно он позже изобрёл одно из самых популярных и незатейливых в автоспорте средств безопасности — бочки Фитча. Это цилиндрические отбойники, наполненные водой или чаще песком.

Вторая волна коронавируса в мире: какие страны накрыло

Как предсказывал рад экспертов, вместе с летней жарой вернулся и ковид. Многие страны, ослабившие было режим самоизоляции, за последнюю неделю столкнулись с новой вспышкой болезни.

Самая тяжёлая ситуация — в США. В среду общие цифры по коронавирусу здесь превысили психологический барьер в три миллиона. И статистика ухудшается: теперь уже до 60 тысяч новых случаев ежедневно. Даже в тяжелейшем апреле, когда нью-йоркские госпитали и морги были переполнены, суточный прирост составлял лишь по 30-40 тысяч больных.

Вероятно, одна из причин — митинги, которые вспыхнули после гибели афроамерикаца Джорджа Флойда 25 мая и длились весь июнь. Участники уличных протестов если о чем и думали, так это о мародерстве, а не о масках или социальной дистанции. А поскольку инкубационный период ковида — примерно две недели, как раз сейчас Штаты и пожинают плоды «дней непослушания».

В Каталонии (северо-восток Испании) с четверга вновь стало обязательным ношение масок. Причина — вспышка коронавируса в одной из коммун. Врачи предполагают, что заражения начались при народных гуляниях на праздник Сант-Жуан (День Ивана Купалы) 23 июня. Как раз две недели назад!

Зато левые партии предложили… автоматически дать вид на жительство всем нелегальным мигрантам, прибывшим в королевство до «короны». Надо, мол, как-то поддержать несчастных гонимых беженцев! Всего таковых до 600 тысяч.

Еще одна вспышка началась в Белграде. Но не ковида, а массовых протестов. 21 июня здесь прошли парламентские выборы. По такому случаю часть карантинных мер сняли. Партия власти триумфально победила, набрав 63%. А теперь «из-за угрозы коронавируса» чиновники снова заявили об ограничительных мерах. Люди же резонно посчитали, что их обвели вокруг пальца. И в ночь на среду устроили в Белграде массовые митинги, перешедшие в беспорядки и стычки с полицией. Подтвердятся ли опасения властей о «второй волне ковида» — скоро узнаем.

At the moment we just do not know. 90019 90018 ‘The year 2013 was a record year, with the survey receiving over 1,000 reports involving hundreds of thousands of jellyfish.90019 90018 ‘Last year the number of reports increased again to over 1,400 reports, and by July this year the survey had already received over 1,000 reports. 90019 90018 ‘August is usually a peak month for jellyfish sightings and so 2015 looks set to be another record breaker.’ 90019 90018 The charity says that barrel jellyfish normally make up 10 per cent of its annual reports, but last year they made up 40 per cent, and so far this year a whopping 75 per cent have been barrel jellyfish sightings.90019 90018 Beaches in the UK are packed with summer holidaymakers and today doctors warned that victims should seek immediate advice from coastguards or lifeguards if they are stung by any type of jellyfish. 90019 90018 The Portuguese man o’war gets its name from its distinctive body that is said to resemble a 16th Century Portuguese warship — and their sting can prove fatal. 90019 90018 The Portuguese man o ‘war is not strictly a jellyfish however, but a siphonophore — a single animal made up of a colony of organisms.90019 90018 People have died from its stings, with the frail, very young or elderly most at risk. 90019 90018 Usually the victim suffers agonising red rashes which can turn into weals and take months to heal. They can also suffer a shortness of breath and feel like they are about to pass out. 90019 90018 If there’s no help immediately at hand, the area of ​​skin should be rinsed with either warm water or sea water and the ‘stingers’ carefully removed. 90019 90084 90084 90018 The barrel jellyfish has been reported all year round in the UK, covering 75 per cent of jellyfish sightings 90019 90018 A spokeswoman for Brixham coastguard in Devon said: ‘Normally it depends on the age of the person who has been stung whether or not they require medical attention.90019 90018 ‘If it’s a child or someone over 60, then it is best if they are checked over by paramedics.’ 90019 90018 The Marine Conservation Society says the surge in numbers of jellyfish round our coast ‘can no longer be ignored’. 90019 90018 They are calling for more research and monitoring to discover the reason for the increase. 90019 90018 There were major invasions last summer and in 2013, and one in 2009. Before this, it was тисячі дев’ятсот сорок-п’ять when a similarly sized wave of jellyfish hit British shores.90019 90098 90098 90018 Marine experts have warned members of the public not to touch the Portuguese man o ‘war should they find them on beaches this summer. The creature above was found on the beach at Portheras Cove in Cornwall 90019 90038 THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST JELLYFISH 90039 90018 1. Box jellyfish 90019 90018 The box jellyfish is one of the deadliest creatures on earth. 90019 90018 The tentacles of fully grown box jellyfish can reach nearly 10 feet in length and contain about 5,000 stinging cells per tentacle.90019 90018 They use their venom to stun or kill fish or other prey, but even a small amount can be lethal for humans. 90019 90018 The venom of the box jellyfish, found in tropical and subtropical oceans, disrupts the heart and nervous systems and can cause heart failure within minutes. 90019 90018 Medical professionals say all cases should be treated as urgent and potentially lethal. 90019 90116 90116 90018 The box jellyfish is regarded as the world’s most dangerous of its kind 90019 90018 2.Irukandji jellyfish 90019 90018 This is a peanut-sized jellyfish whose venom heightens the heart rate and blood pressure. There is no known anti-venom. 90019 90018 It measures only 0.2 inches across and is nearly transparent. 90019 90018 Translucent Irukandji jellyfish are a tiny relative of the lethal box jellyfish which has killed about 65 people in Australia over the last 50 years. 90019 90018 3. Portuguese man o’war 90019 90018 The Portuguese man o ‘war is a carnivore. 90019 90018 It is not actually a single creature but a siphonophore — colonies of minute organisms that rely upon each other for survival, 90019 90018 Using their venomous tentacles they traps and paralyzes their prey.90019 90018 They typically feed upon small marine organisms, such as fish and plankton. 90019 90138 90138 90018 Experts have warned that children can mistake the Portuguese man o ‘war, named because of its shape, for balloons or plastic bags when they are found on the beach, like the one above found at Portheras Cove 90019 90018 Their tentacles can also glow in the dark, a process called bioluminescence, to lure their prey into the stings. 90019 90018 The venom they contain also produces a painful sting to humans, even when dead.90019 90018 Stings leave whip-like, red welts on the skin that normally last two or three days after the initial sting and the pain can last several hours. 90019 90018 In some cases the venom can travel to the lymph notes and cause more intense pain. 90019 90018 The Portuguese man o ‘war is itself eaten by loggerhead turtles and the blanket octopus. 90019 90018 4. Lion’s mane jellyfish 90019 90018 The jellyfish are a danger because their toxic sting can cause muscle paralysis, leading to suffocation and heart attack.90019 90018 They are usually found further north, in the Arctic and northern Atlantic oceans, but the freezing winter means the seas further south have become sufficiently cold. 90019 90158 90158 90018 The lion’s mane jellyfish is clearly recognisable and their toxic sting can lead to muscle paralysis 90019 90018 The tentacles of the Lion’s Mane — one of the largest species of jellyfish — can reach up to 10ft long and are covered in stinging cells which can cause blisters and severe muscular cramp.The respiratory system and heart function and can also be affected. 90019 90018 5. Cannonball jellyfish 90019 90018 Cannonballs are prominent from North America’s eastern seaboard all the way to Brazil, but are also found in parts of the Pacific. 90019 90018 Although cannonballs do not commonly sting humans, it still has toxins which can cause cardiac problems in animals and humans. The toxin causes irregular heart rhythms. 90019 90018 90019 90018 90019 90038 Share or comment on this article: 90039 .90000 Speeding car FLIPS OVER amid clashes between Chechen and Arab gangs in Dijon, France (VIDEOS) — RT World News 90001 90002 Shocking footage from Dijon, France shows a car accelerating towards a group of armed Chechens before flipping over.

They can be observed walking around Inkopolis Plaza wearing various articles of clothing. They are the second-most common creature in the city, but most do not speak Inkling and can not be interacted with. 90017 [1] 90018 Like Inklings in the Plaza, however, they can be pushed around slightly and will turn to look at the player when they approach.90019 90020 Description 90021 90012 Unlike Inklings, jellyfish look fairly similar to their aquatic counterparts, with the most significant change being that their bodies have taken on a more humanoid shape. They have large, round heads, with their only facial features being a pair of very close-set eyes with diamond-shaped pupils and no visible irises. They have a pair of upper tentacles that serve as their arms, and a ring of eight lower tentacles that serve as legs. A jellyfish can stretch their «arm» tentacles to several times their body length at will.90019 90012 Being quite gelatinous, jellyfish noticeably jiggle when they move. Through their translucent skin, squishy innards can be seen. Greenish-blue skin seems to be uniform across the species, with the exception of Jelonzo and Jelfonzo. Jelonzo’s skin is sky blue with a slight purple tinge in some areas, and Jelfonzo’s is a slightly paler blue with a stronger purple tinge. In 90004 Splatoon 2 90005, jellyfish change color to match that of their team during a Splatfest. 90019 90012 Though jellyfish have been shown to wear a variety of clothing, most only wear a t-shirt.Many of their shirts are smaller versions of clothing items available to players, such as the Pirate-Stripe Tee and the Black Squideye. During a Splatfest, all jellyfish in Inkopolis Plaza or Inkopolis Square wear a Splatfest Tee in support of their chosen team. However, their version of the shirt lacks the wristband, as they have no wrist to wear it on. In 90004 Splatoon 2 90005, some Jellyfish wear sleeveless Splatfest Tees, a style unavailable to players. 90019 90012 Jellyfish are capable of giving off light, possibly from bioluminescence, an ability some real-life jellyfish such as the crystal jelly possess.Jelonzo appears to glow slightly, which has been confirmed by Callie; she often mistakes him for a «glowing ghost», as seen in one of her comments on Bluefin Depot. All jellyfish in Inkopolis Plaza give off a faint green glow during a Splatfest, seen only on the ground below them. 90019 90012 While most jellyfish have never been heard speaking, Jelonzo’s voice is heard when he speaks to the player. It is somewhat high, being close in pitch to Annie’s, but louder and clearer. It is possible that other jellyfish have a similar voice.90019 90012 Jellyfish apparently reproduce by splitting off of one another; Live from Squid Research Lab has stated Jelfonzo split off from Jelonzo. This resembles the reproduction of real-life jellyfish, which spawn daily given enough food and sunlight. 90019 90012 Hisashi Nogami, producer of the 90004 Splatoon 90005 series, suggested in an interview that jellyfish individuals are part of a hive mind. To give an example, he states that jellyfish couples are not actually in love but want to imitate the behavior of those in a relationship.90017 [2] 90018 90017 [3] 90018 90019 90012 Jellyfish were revealed in 90004 The Art of Splatoon 90005 to be unable to speak in the Inkling language, other than Jelonzo and Jelfonzo. Jelonzo was revealed to have used a slang dictionary when researching the Inkling language; this is why he sounds a bit off when he talks. The same is likely true for Jelfonzo. 90019 90020 Notable individuals 90021 90052 Jelonzo 90053 90012 Jelonzo is a blue jellyfish that owns Jelly Fresh, a clothing store in Inkopolis.He is the only jellyfish in 90004 Splatoon 90005 who can be interacted with. 90019 90052 DJ Lee Fish 90053 90012 While little is known about DJ Lee Fish, their name seems to suggest that they are a jellyfish. They are a musician; four variants of their song 90004 Lookin ‘Fresh 90005 are heard in the shops of Booyah Base. 90019 90052 Jelfonzo 90053 90012 Jelfonzo is the owner of Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe in 90004 Splatoon 2 90005 and the only jellyfish in the game that can be interacted with.He learned Inkling from old books, which caused him to learn outdated words and grammar. He split off of Jelonzo, which, as stated by Live from Squid Research Lab, makes him Jelonzo’s son. 90019 90020 Appearances 90021 90012 90004 Jellyfish do not appear in Ranked Battles in 90005 Splatoon 90004. 90005 90019 90052 Inkopolis Plaza 90053 90080 90081 Two jellyfish operate the air traffic control center above Inkopolis Tower. 90082 90081 Jellyfish stroll around the plaza, wearing different pieces of clothing.90082 90081 Some jellyfish can be found sitting on benches, both inside and outside the Plaza. 90082 90081 Below the Inkopolis News Studio, a jellyfish can sometimes be seen dancing beside a pillar. 90082 90081 A jellyfish often stands at the train station behind the Plaza. 90082 90081 Four jellyfish can be found standing near a tree outside the Plaza. 90082 90081 During a Splatfest, jellyfish congregate in front of the Squid Sisters ‘trucks, wearing Splatfest Tees and dancing to the music.90082 90081 A jellyfish can sometimes be seen riding a skateboard in Inkopolis Plaza. 90082 90097 90052 Urchin Underpass 90053 90080 90081 Some Jellyfish can be seen cheering from behind the secret alley windows. 90082 90097 90052 Walleye Warehouse 90053 90080 90081 Outside the stage’s boundaries, jellyfish can be seen walking around and spectating the current battle from the warehouse’s large windows. 90082 90097 90052 Saltspray Rig 90053 90080 90081 Jellyfish often stand on the towers surrounding the map, either alone or in pairs.Some of them dance. 90082 90097 90052 Arowana Mall 90053 90080 90081 Many Jellyfish can be seen behind the window of the mall variant of Inkopolis Café waving at the players as they walk by. 90082 90097 90052 Blackbelly Skatepark 90053 90080 90081 Some Jellyfish can be seen outside the skatepark. 90082 90097 90052 Port Mackerel 90053 90080 90081 Behind the glass forming the boundary of the Stage, a jellyfish can sometimes be seen directing a forklift. 90082 90081 Also behind the glass, a pair of jellyfish can sometimes be seen talking to each other.One is smaller than the other; it may be a younger jellyfish or simply a short one. 90082 90097 90052 Kelp Dome 90053 90080 90081 Outside the boundary of the Stage, a few jellyfish, possibly workers for the greenhouse, can be seen. 90082 90097 90052 Bluefin Depot 90053 90080 90081 Across the water, outside the bounds of the Stage, there is a lone jellyfish which can only be seen up close by zooming in with a scoped Charger.
