Reply to TIL of the 1955 Le Mans disaster. French driver Pierre Levegh crashed into a crowd of spectators. The crash, explosion and subsequent fire killed 84 and injured more than 120. It is still the deadliest car race crash ever. by triviafrenzy
As a result, Mercedes pulled out of motorsport entirely for 30 years and Switzerland banned motorsports all-together. It was a horrific crash
