8 killed in Md. drag-racing crash

Illegal drag racing claims more lives, this time the fans. While I'm always sorry to hear about peoples loss, in some cases you have to think of Darwin. "Survival of the fittest" is now "survival of the smartest". Typically it is the drivers of the racing cars that end up dead, but this time... the spectators took the hit. So who is to blame, the car who accidentally plowed into the crowd, the drivers who raced off, or the spectators.... in this case, the spectators desire to see the event are the reason the drivers were racing. So I think.... well I'm not going to pass judgment, I just hope that those involved in the illegal event think twice next time.
