Trivia Question #5

In March 1896, Charles and Frank Duryea of Springfield, Mass., offer the first commercial automobile: the Duryea motor wagon. Two months later, New York City motorist Henry Wells hits a bicyclist with his new Duryea. The rider suffers a broken leg, Wells spends a night in jail and the nation's first traffic accident is recorded."

That is TOO easy Rich......

And it was the following.......it was in 1771 (Sorry David):N

Nicolas Cugnot who designed the first car in 1769 made another steam-driven vehicle two years later, also at the Paris Arsenal. The machine reportedly ran quite well, although on one occasion it ran into a wall, thus recording the world's first motor-accident. The vehicle may still be seen today in the Conservatoire Nationale des Arts et Metiers in Paris.

Or were you lookin for the first U.S. accident???
 :N :Beer

Yes,

Hey seeing that you have nothing better to do I looking for a web site with video clips of looped roller coasters.

I need to down load a clip for a lesson. Haven't found one that I can use yet at school.

Deal with my Physics at the Indy 500 unit. Working on Centripetal Force Right Now!
