File 1997.09: Princess Diana Accident Visualization

Case Type: Accident Reconstruction Animation

Description:
King World New New York wished to produce a documentary on the details of Princess Diana's fatal automobile accident with emphasis on European road construction details.

Visualizations Produced:
After receiving accident site surveys, road construction data and vehicle trajectory information, Fearless Eye produced a series of animations portraying the vehicle dynamics of the Mercedes automobile. Of special interest in the visualization was the fact that unlike many bridge underpasses in the U.S., the underpass in questions was not equipped with outer guardrails that might have prevented the automobile from directly impacting tunnel support columns.
