The real thing we should all be concerned with, is who was behind this terrible atrocity?!? Here's more info on this...
Dissecting the explosion
By Zack Zeigler
Written: June 14, 2007
Federal authorities have seized control of the heap of incinerated metal that was once Mr. McMahon?s limousine. To determine whether foul play was responsible for the vehicular blast that presumably killed WWE?s Chairman Monday night, the tiresome task of recovering and sifting through useable evidence is now under the utmost scrutiny of the nation?s most well-funded investigation unit.
If it?s confirmed that a criminal party engineered the explosion, the next question to answer is how the nefarious scheme was carried out. To fill in the blanks regarding the specifics of the explosion, WWE.com contacted Patrick C. Riggs, a veteran explosives expert from a Brooklyn, N.Y.,-based operation.
Watching video of the blast, Riggs was able to determine that it was a professionally structured, calculated blast. However, since most ? if not all ? usable evidence seems to have been destroyed, Riggs claims that not everything he says can be guaranteed.
?Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing. No amateur would have had the knowledge to create an explosion of that intensity,? he said. ?Without prior experience or knowledge of explosives, such a blast could not have been constructed so precisely.?
Another point of interest was the timing of how the scene unfolded.
?Watch for the origin of the spark,? Riggs explained, using a laser pointer to indicate under the right rear axle. ?As soon as the door shuts ? boom! That?s exactly how it was supposed to work. It was perfectly engineered and executed.?
Could the door have been on a trigger, and if so, what served as the figurative striking of the match?
?A radio-controlled device was definitely used as the ignition,? Riggs stated. ?The detonator could have been as small as a cell phone and attached to the limo?s gas line. It was most likely sourced underneath the passenger compartment. Once it was ignited, the gasoline from the vehicle became the accelerant.?
Riggs, a 23-year explosives expert, who has both consulted on feature films and been an expert witness in courtrooms, isn?t surprised that federal investigators are currently unable to find eyewitnesses who would have seen someone attaching the explosives to the limousine.
?It doesn?t take long to accomplish,? he said. ?The whole thing could have been completed in a matter of seconds. All they needed was to find out where the gas tank was located.?
And since a pocket-sized piece of equipment was used, no visible signs of tampering would have been evident to anyone ? including the former WWE Chairman. Not that his apparent state of mind (or lack thereof) at the time would have allowed him to see such a red flag, even if it was in plain view.
?Mr. McMahon would not have been able to tell something was wrong with the limo by sight or smell,? Riggs assured. ?In fact, a full tank of gas would have easily been capable of creating that type of combustion. As far as Mr. McMahon knew, that limo was no different than the type he used to drive in every day and night.?
According to Riggs, the fact that a remote device was used raises another concern.
?Theoretically, there could have been multiple assailants,? he said. ?Someone could have been at the scene to notify someone up to half a mile away to press the red button. It?s certainly something to think about.?
At press time, there have not been any discoveries to prove ? or disprove ? any of the ideas that Riggs has put forward. As federal authorities work around the clock in search of answers regarding this matter, one can only wonder if these questions, or any others, will be revealed in the coming weeks.

STAMFORD, Conn. ? Whether he was looking down on ordinary 9 to 5ers from his corporate office at the Titan Tower or berating onlookers from ?his? ring on Raw, SmackDown or ECW on Sci Fi, Mr. McMahon often held our fans in great contempt. The Chairman probably would have never believed that these same fans would drive hundreds of miles to honor him with mountains of flowers, cards and pictures after seeing his apparent fiery demise on Raw this past Monday.
Hundreds of baskets of carnations, sympathy cards, teddy bears, daisies and orchids lined the entrance to the Titan Tower as countless fans made a makeshift memorial to Mr. McMahon, who is presumed dead after the limousine he entered exploded at the end of Raw. Some preferred to leave pictures of the Chairman, while others placed toy replica belts of the ECW World Title he held briefly. But everyone WWE.com interviewed said that while they didn?t love Mr. McMahon, they respected him as a pioneer in the world of sports-entertainment and wanted to thank him for entertaining them all these years.
?I hated the arrogant b******, but I had to come,? said a tearful Peter Frager, who said he drove all the way from Borger, Texas. ?I?ve watched wrestling for so many years ? I grew up watching him, even during the days when he was just an announcer. It?s going to be weird watching WWE without him.?
One fan, dressed in a retro powder blue sports jacket with the old World Wrestling Federation logo that was once the Chairman?s trademark, was too overcome with grief to talk. His shoulders shook and lips quivered before he buried his face in his hands. He had to be held by his two friends that were at his side.
?He used to practice the Chairman?s strut and swagger,? one friend said. ?He?s barely eaten since seeing the explosion. But he insisted on coming here and paying his respects.?
Do? rags, candles and signs that read ?Vince: The Real Icon,? ?Long Live the Chairman,? and ?The Immortal McMahon? were scattered among the throng of well-wishers gathered outside the Tower. The eyes of some WWE employees widened and some jaws dropped at the outpouring of love for Mr. McMahon.
?I have never seen anything like this,? said a receptionist at the headquarters. ?It?s just amazing. ? I could barely maneuver past the flower baskets when I returned from lunch.?
The McMahon family remained heavily on the minds of our fans. Harold Laurel, of Bayonne, N.J., said the Chairman?s tragedy hit him especially hard. Looking up at his 3-year-old ? who was sitting on his shoulders and was preoccupied with sucking on a Jolly Rancher ? Laurel said that McMahon?s presumed death reminded him that life can be too random and too short to be taken for granted.
?The fact that this happened just before Father?s Day ? it?s just terrible, terrible,? he said. ?I know how Shane and Stephanie must feel ? my Dad passed away around this time last year. I just hope they can get through this and help their mother get through this.?
Laurel then gently knelt down as he enabled his son to come down from his shoulders. The boy continued eating his Jolly Rancher as his father enveloped his small fingers in his hands.
?Entertainment aside, this whole thing just reminds me that we have to cherish each other every day,? Laurel continued. ?I?ll miss seeing Mr. McMahon. He was evil, but he still had a family. I hope he has found some peace.?

Everytime you think this idiot has pushed the level of decency farther than it could be pushed he finds a way to push it farther.
What's worse is he has dumbed down the IQ of the people who still watch this garbage far enough that they ACTUALLY BELIEVE HE'S DEAD, WTF????
I simply can't believe anyone falls for this, honestly.
If you think he's dead, please do not go outside, society has no further use for you.

Think about the level of "average intelligence" in society.
Half of all people are dumber than that
Cant see the story line going much farther with the ego this guy has. He can't let his product breath one second without him being in some skit one way or another. It also shows you a guy who has no respect or to much money. The things he has blown up a person would kill to have. Limo's, corvettes, etc.. Rest in peace Vince:142crying
As shaken up as I remain about this tragedy, it was a breath of fresh air to see Stephanie McMahon back in the ring. Of course we can hope in the future, after her period of mourning, she will return to wearing the low cut tops and showing off some nice legs. I apologize for demeaning this unfortunate event with my tittilazation regarding large mammaries and nice legs, but you have to salvage SOME positivity out of this. :shrug:
here's the video if anyone missed it or cares :jerkit: it does look pretty real though :shrug:

She really married to Triple H? Haven't watched in probably ten years but heard that recently.
She married him and I always thought there was something really sneaky about him. We are talking about triple beak right?
