It was a pretty tenuous "latch". I caught one exchange between anchorman and European correspondant. Anchorman says "120 MILES per hour". Euroman replies "That's right, 120 KILOMETERS per hour". Neither heard what the other was saying. Finally the word comes out that the speedometer read "0" when inspected by the police. Funny how every other collision is discussed in terms of hard numbers and physical evidence. All we have here are rumor, speculation, and emotion.
