We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.

I'm not a regular NASCAR fan (watched it some when I was a kid and I'll watch the occasional gif on Twitter), so I'm asking this sincerely: what are the signs here that this crash is worse than average? I feel like every NASCAR crash gif I've ever seen looks absolutely horrific to the same degree as this. Is it being airborne, or part of the trunk being ripped off signalling the intensity of the initial impact?

To me, it’s the way the driver’s side window is collapsed. No matter the intensity of a wreck I’ve seen, that normally stays structurally intact. It’s not meant to be hit on the top part, precisely where it was in this case.

Ah! That makes total sense. Thank you!
