What's the consequence if they do it?
Bin Laden had been terrorizing America for years. 9/11 was just his first [and only] success.
After Earnhardt's death, Nascar spent millions building a Research and Development center and developed the Car Of Tomorrow(COT). -The car is wider and taller which gives the driver more interior/greenhouse room. The drivers seat was moved inward away from the driver side like 4. -They made the front and rear bumpers the same height so when someone hits the back of another car, the bumpers hit instead of the front nose going under the back of the other car. -They took off the mechanical fuel pump that used to bolt to the right front of the engine and put a cable driven fuel pump in the fuel cell. The cable is driven off of the back of the engine's camshaft. The old pumps could easily break off in a crash and spew fuel out possibly causing a fire. -They covered/closed in the driver's door bars with steel. Then there's a thick impact absorbing piece of foam, developed by DuPont, Placed between the Door bars and body sheet metal. -They started using high tech seats. The driver literally puts on a racing suit and sits in a type of mold. Then the seat is made to that drivers exact body contours like a glove. There's larger back and side head gaurds with thick padding. -They made the HANS device mandatory. HANS stand's for Head And Neck Support. It basically cables/ties the helmet to your shoulders. This device alone may have saved Earnhardts life. (NASA recently went to Nascar to get some test results and info on the HANS as they want to implement them in there space programs) -They accelerated the development of the Soft Wall by getting serious and working with the developers and made them mandatory at every track. -All car's now have a Black Box which measures and records G-forces so Nascar can go back and study the impacts after a bad crash.
it imediatly made the hans device and full face helmet nessesary, it also eventually led to safier bariers
