    I died inside when I heard about that. I love him

    This must be some kind of Celebrity Death/Near Death Year.

    I heard about this yesterday; it truly is terrible. It was even worse because yesterday his status was critical. I was relieved to hear today that he is stable. I hope there isn't any permanent damage to prevent him from living his life normally.

    Maybe it's some hitman going on a rampage?!
    Sorry, tried to see the funny side, but I cant see a funny side in accidents and death.

    Hope he turns out ok, I liked watching him on Top Gear. Its good he didnt die, I mean, first Irwin then Hammond. Thats too much to take. Good to hear hes on a good recovery.

    Ahh, not Richard Hammond!!!

    Why doesn't the Celebrity Hitman pick on someone who kills puppies instead of all the nice people! Poor guy, I hope he recovers entirely...

    Considering the guy was going at well over 300MPH it's testament to the design of the vehicle (or sheer fluke) that he even survived. He's been taken down to "stable" condition (meaning his life is no longer in immediate risk), and has acknowledged others around him meaning his cognitive abilities don't seem to be impaired just yet. All in all it's looking very positive.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    You heard wrong. He was going at around 300 mph.
    Still pretty darned fast.

    I really like him, hope he gets better . Jeremy Clarkson and James May (fellow Topgear presenters) were allowed to go see him, and the latter says he had a proper (albeit short) conversation with Richard! I understand that usually only close relatives are permitted to visit patients if the situation is extremely serious, so maybe it isn't as bad as most people think. Again, here's hoping he makes a speedy recovery!

    According to today's news, he's not in intensive care any more, which is surely a good sign. However, his Family are still at his bedside nursing him, according to reports.

    Sound like he's on his way to recovery. Fingers crossed, eh?

    Yeah, everything seems to be going well. He's been extremely lucky, but of course a lot of credit must go to the car's designers, and the excellent work of the doctors who've been treating him. It's amazing that a person can even survive an accident like this, let alone be making such quick steps towards recovery.

    I just cant believe it. I think Top Gear will be coming off the air for this. No more Brainiac either, very sad.
    I dont think so. They were making so much money off it that they will find new hosts.

    Poor guy, hope he makes a full recovery!
