UK Police visit Diana`s death scene again

Metropolitan police officers are piecing together the findings of a high-tech "reconstruction" of the crash which killed Diana, Princess of Wales in Paris.

Photographers and surveyors used specialist laser equipment to scan the Pont d`Alma Tunnel - the scene of the 1997 tragedy.

The images will be turned into a 3D computer model of the scene, to be used in the inquests into the deaths of Diana and Dodi al Fayed.

The model, which will use new technology not available at the time, will "enhance understanding of the factors which may have contributed to the collision", a police spokesman said.

Diana, Dodi and their chauffeur died after their Mercedes crashed in the tunnel after leaving the Ritz Hotel on the morning of 31 August 1997.

The following investigation concluded that driver Henri Paul had been drinking and was driving at high speed. But his parents say they are not convinced that the blood sample used to judge his alcohol level was their son`s.

An inquest into the Princess`s death opened in the UK last year but was adjourned for the then Scotland Yard Commissioner, Sir John Stevens, to begin an investigation into the accident.

Hopefully this will be the end of it...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Rich sloane dies in car crash - so ****ing what? She was no longer a royal, showed ****-all interest in her kids (newsflash - taking them on well-publicised trips to theme parks and then ****ing off on boating trips with rich boyfriends during the school holidays does not constitute good parenting), and a public opinion poll the week she met with her accidental death showed an overwhelming majority of the public were fed up to the back teeth of her. The fact that a bunch of chavs now want her canonised and will cling to every half-witted conspiracy theory is their problem, not something the taxpayer should be throwing money at addressing.

The money that`s being thrown at this fatuous enquiry could house a tidy number of homeless families. However, this is just typical of Princess Spoilt`s whole existence since she became a royal - money thrown down the drain whilst people who should know better cling to an unrealistic image of her.

There, I feel better now.

Not a lot suspicious in hitting a concrete wall at 60-70 without a seat belt and dying and leaving a survivor in the car.

I wish they would just let it lie....but they wont, shes our `JFK` every man and his dog going on and on about it and the ins and outs and what ifs for bloody ever more

she was in a car that crashed, she died....Sadly it happens to people every day. No amount of conspiracy stories and reconstructions will bring her or the other folks who died back... end of story

WTF.
A car hits a concrete pillar at christ knows what speed and these muppets need "Technology" to help them understand what actually happened.

1) The car was being driven by someone who had been drinking.
2) He was driving the car at excessive speeds.
3) He lost control and hit a pillar.
4) End of story.

When you add this to the £10,000 it cost the police to prosecute a woman who was drinking from a can , or some such nonsense, it kinda shows why the police budget goes f***in quickly in some places.

The Public Accounts Auditor or some other body should pull these idiots aside and put them right on what their budget should be spent on.
Yes there are times when investigations should be launched but how many more investigations are there going to be into this case that has been done and dusted already.
I suppose the real answer in this case is when the conspiracy nuts get the only result they want.
All we need now is for David Icke to tell us it was "The Lizard People" or Paul Burrell to blame "Those Sinister Dark Forces" for her death.

FFS how daft some people are.

I don`t, actually. I`ve no strong urge for a republic and I think it`s useful to have figureheads who are ostensibly non-political (i.e. unlike a president) to open hospitals, greet heads of state, etc. However, I have a strong dislike of fawning over them like they`re members of a favourite soap opera and I also think that for the obscene amount of money they have they could have the common sense to be discrete in their private lives. I have an expecial loathing of Diana whom I think was the worst of the lot and a prize hypocrite. I didn`t gloat when she died, I felt sorry for her kids, but I thought that a simple explanation of drunk driving at speed was an adequate explanation. Plus, let`s remember that neither she nor Mr Al-Fayed were wearing seat belts.

Looking back at the post it was strongly worded, but I`d just heard the following news item about an inquest in the Midlands. A man apparently sane and a devoted to his family threw his five year old daughter from the top of a tall multi-storey car park and then jumped to his death himself. That is all the attention that tragic set of events is ever likely to get. Compare that with rich divorced sloane fooling around with rich playboy and dying because their chauffeur was fried to the tonsils and they were too thick to wear seat belts, guess where my sympathies lie.

Perhaps I should have explained the context of my anger, and I`m happy to tone down the first post if anyone is truly offended.

Ah well, that sits a little better. I understand where you`re coming from now. It`s just after that and your little rant at `Arry, it`s too easy to jump to that judgement.

Other than being slightly more sympathetic to Diana (but not too sympathetic...), I agree with your views. Trouble is that this also applies to all the so-called `celebrities` in our modern society who I think actually still behave worse than the Royal Family.

It`s sad that the news item you mention will hardly get any news coverage, I remember this tragedy when it first occurred. So sad that people who want to take their own lives feel the urge to take their offsprings as well. Actually, sad isn`t the word I`m looking for there, that sort of behaviour enrages me.
