Yes, I read that last night. The Jersy Turnpike has long been considered one of if not the most deadly stretches of road in the U.S. but it does seem so senseless...

Godspeed John Nash, and thank you.

I was sorry to see that neither he nor his wife had their seatbelts on and were ejected from the car. I wonder how much of a difference that would have made.

RIP John. Have edited section in my book to note your passing! I enjoyed your work.

It is sad that he had to die this way, but 86 is higher than the average life span so he was on bonus time. I wonder if his mental illness was a inspiration or a detriment to his game theory calculations. Well, another great mind gone to history either way.

How sad...but 86 is a good age to go and evidently it was a fast ending.
Wear your seatbelts, folks.

You would think a genius like that would know to belt in.

For those interested in discovering his work, including "Nash equillibrium", here's a great site about game theory. http://thefinalwager.co/game-theory/

He lived a street over from me in Princeton Jct.
The train station was at the other end of the street, and a small train would run between P.J. and Princeton Univ Campus.
He would sometimes get disoriented walking home from the train and end up on my street. My mother would see him and point him back to his street.
NJ is a hazard. I'm glad I left when I did. P.J. was a great small town back in the 70's. It's a rat race now.
FWIW: Grover's Mill which neighbored PJ is where the Martians landed in Orson Wells radio broadcast of "War of Worlds".

Amazing that both were "ejected from the car". Unusual even without seatbelts. Must've been quite a crash. I never wear one in a cab either. Maybe should rethink.
