Tim Samaras dies chasing El Reno tornado

[Trill Clinton]

It's more "reality" TV. It was a great gig for him till the got really real.

I'm actually surprised how many in here watched that . I had never heard the guys name till he got slapped by that tornado.

but its a real life job, right? like, dudes actually drive around in batman cars and chase tornadoes. what is the point of that job?

Look up "job" in Wiki, you'll be astounded and probably sickened.

Never see a black man running toward a tornado, they don't chase them, they don't die in them.

Why...

You're told to get into the lowest place you can find, they already live there.

LMAO AMEN ive been saying that for years

He was putting his life on the line to research these storms so that we can better forecast tornadoes and save lives. Some stormchasers do what they do for money or fame, this guy was a researcher. (okay, the fame bug might have hit him a little when he joined the TV show) He actually built all of the equipment on his vehicle by hand and was highly regarded in the research community for the data he recovered throughout his career both before and after the stupid TV show, so he wasn't just some thrill junkie who jacks off to flying debris. Is it stupid purposefully getting close to tornadoes? Yeah. But give the man some respect for dying in the name of life saving research.

Pfffft. You actually watch them on the discovery channel?
