Hi Henry-
Sorry, but what is the wrong physics that you had in mind?
The statement seems to me to be correct in the approximation that
hitting a car is equivalent to hitting a tree.
***********************************************
In the Cover Story of the Wed 30 June 99 USA Today, Edward Moeller, a
traffic engineer is quoted, "If you are driving 35 and hit someone coming
at you at 35, it's the equivilent of hitting a tree at 70."
Any hope of correcting this WRONG PHYSICS?

Regards,
Jack

had marveled over that mystery a long time. We had
followed the cows around for years - that is, in the
daytime - but had never caught them drinking fluid of
that color."
