One of the guys that died, Nasser, was a friend of mine. Great guy, he was friends with everybody and he was one of the most down to earth people i've ever met. He was a great guitarist too. Its a shame he had to go, he had his whole life ahead of him. Farooq was also a good friend of mine too i'm glad he didnt go.

This goes out as a warning to all the people who's driving is a bit wreckless, you never know when you're going to die.



rest in peace man.

I'm very sorry to hear this, I can tell from the photo that he'd be a pretty cool guy.

RIP.

If you drive recklessly, you won't be wreckless

I am sorry for your loss. I too lost two dear friends over 20 years ago in a very similar wreck.

I miss them everyday.

And yes, please, EVERYONE... There are so many things that can take you out of the picture that you have NO control over. Please exercise control over the things you can. Wear your seat belts, don't treat a car like a ride at an amusement park, get your thrills from your music and your friends - not by trying to cheat death. Death plays dirty and can out cheat you in a heartbeat.

Sorry to hear that. Can't imagine how it would be to lose a friend in an accident.

RIP.

At least he's not suffering and at peace now. Take comfort in that.

Three actually, the whole story is in the link I posted. The guy who survived is doing good though, hes getting better everyday.

Alot of teenagers are driving wrecklessly these days, please be careful. You dont wanna end up like this.
