Frightening, to say the least.

Not only doing 120 and hitting a stationary object, but better odds of a head-on collision of 2 cars traveling 60mph each.

Just wow on the devastation.

You need to watch mythbusters more often :D

The 120mph thing makes me wonder... if the trooper in miami had backed off when she was ordered and that cop in Miami was to hit someone at that speed... who's rear end would be in a sling for that one?

Instead of a Focus, imagine hitting that wall in one of these:

What a waste of a Focus. They should have used a POS Fiesta instead.

Your more likely to be in a crash at slow speed near home than this extreme example so I'm glad car companies engineer for those kinds of accidents.

Reminded me of this video tho

Its not the speed that kills.....its the sudden stop.
