VIDEO: Hamster dragster crash footage!
As we reported earlier, Richard Hammond was volunteering, if not lobbying from his bedside, for the BBC to show the footage of his 300-mph dragster crash that put him in the hospital and Top Gear on hiatus.
Meanwhile, here at Autoblog we've been happy to report that the Hamster is on the fast road to recovery and that the BBC has resumed filming of the show in anticipation of Richard's immanent return, and may show the crash footage. But we wouldn't want to keep our dedicated readers waiting.
Now anyone who's ever seen the show knows that Richard has a brilliant sense of humor. So with all this in mind, we bring you this video. Enjoy!

Thank you Autoblog. You have taken 30 seconds away from my life. 30 seconds that I can never get back. Ever. You should be ashamed and punished for such a heinous crime.

I thought it flipped over after it crashed? Maybe it'll look better when it's aired in High Def. :-)

I hope nobody with dialup spent the time to download that. Too bad it weren't April Fools Day.

It did lose a touch of realism without the flip, didn't it?
Nice one :-)

Sickening! These jackasses should be taken off the air! This is just tooooo dangerous. What about our impressionable youth. Look what kind of messages we're sending to drivers these days. Did you see the speed of that hamster?
Just think what kind of damage that kind of stunt does to the environment. I mean, a hamsterball powered dragster must put out tons of greenhouse gasses.
