Chasing implies, at least to me, that Diana and Dodi were in danger and had to get away. What is the worst that would have happened if they had just turned around and gone back to the Ritz? His family owned the hotel for heaven sakes! They could have had all the privacy they wanted. Now maybe there was somewhere else they wanted to go, but sometimes you do get to do what you want to do. Driving at a high speed through downtown Paris was irresponsible. They could have killed a pedestrian or hit another car. The paparazzi were not going to pass them or stop them. They were following them. It was at a high speed because their driver was driving at a high speed.
I wasn’t aware of that. Unfortunately from my read of Diana’s injuries there was nothing that could be done. Catastrophic brain injuries are called catastrophic for a reason. It doesn’t excuse the lack of assistance though. How someone could stand by is just beyond me.
If I'm running fast going somewhere & you're behind me only because you want to catch up with me, not because you want to go there too then you're chasing me. Why do you have problems with the word?
Sorry, I didn't know the driver was drunk. I also thought it was awful for no one to give assistance. I don't think Diana had a brain injury though, her chest was flailed. I think Dody had a brain injury but it's been years since I read any details.
