That would be the Space Needle being built at the Seattle Center 1960-61...Finished in 1962 for the Worlds Fair !

Based on the people around looking like they were having picnics, this might have been a staged collision. That was a fairly popular publicity stunt/entertainment around 1900.

Things could get out of hand, as they did in the Crush, Texas crash. But others were not quite as hazardous for the spectators. Apparently this type of entertainment was even performed into the 1930s.

I think early implementation of GPS directions still had a bug or two? Rough start with new technology! :unsure:

Excellent string of photos there.  Junior Samples and his tackle box, Chrysler Turbine at the track...that no one is paying attention to, a "cornfield meet" (which I doubt was staged, that was probably the biggest event in that area in years, Rutland RR - maybe somewhere in Vermont, of course there will be picnicking rubberneckers.  Look up old train wreck photos, there will almost always be an oddly formal gathering), Central Vermont running off the rails (wait, two VT train wrecks in a row?), a flattened Chevy (ahem), and a Canberra bomber buzzing what looks like a south pacific airfield.  Good stuff.
