May 24th 1994: The death of two dentists & two officials were shown on the news later that evening. The view was from the air as a chopper was flying overhead. It showed the Ferrari loosing control as the car hit the pea gravel on the side of the road, how it slid sideways, and then appeared to gain control, over corrected, and slid into the van the two officials had just ran to. This news segment was not aired again.

The Cannonballrun from a drivers perspective. Charles Ryder.
This video was taken so he could show his wife (who was in hospital at the time) what the Cannonballrun was like.
It's not just about the times in the car. The video showcases Darwin and the Northern Territory, the awards ceremony, the works.
Be warned, it's a very long video. You might need to get a beer or two (Or best make that half a carton in an eski beside you)
It's well worth the watch.
