f1atic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I was there.

My seat was on the entrance to turn 10, at the point where they turn in.

Massa was against the outside barriers going past me. So against the barrier that I couldn't see the car, just the pieces of it flying up into the air in front of me.

He went straight into the tires at the end of the gravel.
The left rear (I believe) came off, traveling forward at probably 90mph, hit something that sent it nearly straight up and it went over the retaining fence (with some suspension parts still attached) and landed almost perfectly in the stairway between seating in grandstand 15. It bounced once, and while it almost certainly had to hit someone, it did so with so little force that nobody was injured. It only bounce a couple of feet into the air before it came to rest there.
