Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney is in the wreckage of her car. Note that the engine, about 20-25 feet in the air, is still spitting flame.
She was doing over 250 MPH when a front tire came off the rim and wrapped around the frame. 
Shirley in happier days. |

Google Jesse Owens The irony of that pic is, the German gave Owens a tip about how to improve his performance in one of his events! Owens surprised many[6] by winning four gold medals: On August 3, 1936 he won the 100m sprint, defeating Ralph Metcalfe; on August 4, the long jump (later crediting friendly and helpful advice from Luz Long, the German competitor he ultimately defeated);[4] on August 5, the 200m sprint; and, after he was added to the 4 x 100 m relay team, he won his fourth on August 9 (a performance not equaled until Carl Lewis won gold medals in the same events at the 1984 Summer Olympics).

And then Hitler threw a tantrum and walked out of the stadium, rather than face Owens and give him the medal! |
