Remembering Actor Paul Walker
e Entertainment News
Walker was killed over the weekend when a Porsche he was riding in was involved in a single-car accident. The car was being driven by Roger Rodas, owner of Always Evolving Performance Motors, where Walker had been holding a charity event. Walker and Rodas were only 500 feet away from returning when the crash occurred.
According to employees at the auto business, they heard a loud boom and saw a ball of fire shoot into the air. Immediately realizing it was probably an accident and it likely involved Walker and Rodas, friends raced to the scene and found the vehicle engulfed in flames. Someone grabbed a fire extinguisher and tried in vain to put out the flames, but the 2 men were already dead. The crash was so severe, the bodies inside were burned beyond recognition and could not be immediately identified.
Official news of Walker’s death was posted on his Twitter page:
“It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend’s car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news.”

I never got into these movies. However, it makes me think how I need to live life to the fullest and also respect life. You never know what will happen.
