    280mph at time of crash can't be good.

    I hope he makes a full recovery. I wonder if this will affect Top Gear airing on tv.

    Sounds like he is doing a little better. I hope for a quick recovery.

    A nice update from James May.

Even when he can't say much, he seemed to make as much sense as he does when he can talk normally.

    'Richard is winning his fight'
    Shattered ... Hammond's crumpled dragster after 300mph crash
    smash
    By JEREMY CLARKSON
    SEPTEMBER 23, 2006
    IN the wee small hours of Thursday night, just 30 hours after what is almost certainly the world’s fastest ever car crash, Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened.
    “You’ve been in a car accident,” I said. “Was I driving like a tw*t?” he asked, before getting out of bed and walking, shakily, to the lavatory.
    His wife, Mindy, couldn’t believe her eyes. None of us could. It really did seem that he’d had a look through death’s door and decided he didn’t like what he saw on the other side.
    Later, he looked across at James May and said: “Hello C**k face.”
    Despite all the odds, it seemed we’d got our Hamster back . . .
