'08 Accord Coupe is hit by F-150 traveling 100+ mph
the following e-mail and attached photos from a TOV member who wanted to share his story of Honda's "safety for everyone".
Jeff,
I hope you are doing well. I have been an active member of TOV for years, under the email *********@comcast.net. I have owned many Hondas and I have converted my entire family into Honda owners. I have a 2008 Accord Coupe EX in Alabaster Silver. I bought it as a second vehicle for my commute car as I drive over 40,000 miles per year. Last Thursday I was driving home from Thanksgiving dinner and was hit from behind on the interstate by a truck traveling in excess of 100mph. I was going about 74 from what I remember. I wanted to share these pictures with you of the wreck. I flipped over 4 times according to police. The first officer arriving on scene warned other emergency personnel arriving that it was most likely a fatality wreck. Little did he know I was crawling out through the back window. I am not sure if you wanted to share this with other members of TOV who share the same passion you and I do about Honda. This is a testament to their safety and the ACE Body Structure. I walked away from this with a few minor bruises on my head and side. It is simply a miracle that I am still alive, not to mention the lack of injuries. Attached are pictures taken at the scene by police as well as pictures of the damage, which hardly do it justice. In addition, there is a picture of me in the hospital less than 30 minutes after the wreck giving thumbs up to Honda.

A few additional notes, according to Mark: Witnesses stated that the truck that hit him was a silver late model Ford F-150 crew cab full of passengers. The truck continued on after the collision.

Re: '08 Accord Coupe is hit by F-150 traveling 100+ mph
Member di TOV juga ya bos 
Cerita yang sama terjadi juga ama istri gw waktu dulu kuliah di amrik. Dia sama adiknya lagi nyetir naik Honda Civic coupe, waktu ditabrak ama MPV gak jelas terus keluar garis pembatas dan nabrak pembatas beton dan terguling mobilnya. Luka cuma tangan terkilir dan terkena serpihan kaca doang... Buktinya masih keliatan jelas, soalnya luka pecahan kacanya agak berbekas di bahu kanan istri gw... Hehehe... Untuk soal keamanan, gw gak pernah ngeraguin Honda.
Lah? Kenapa gw nyetirnya SX4 dong?
beli CR-V/CIVIC gak mampu

Re: '08 Accord Coupe is hit by F-150 traveling 100+ mph
saya perhatikan bagian cabin bener2 masih utuh, masih sangat aman buat pengendara meskipun sunroofnya sudah koyak gitu... kalo yang nabrak pake safety belt udah pasti selamat.... Bagian pintu hancur tapi tulang nya masih nggak bengkok, pilar A kiri meskipun udah agak bengkok tapi nggak patah banget.. Kursi tetep pada tempatnya, legroom pun masih luas padahal bemper depan udah hancur berantakan
safety accord bener2 keren nih..
tapi bagaimana dengan kualitas yang di Indonesia? apakah sama?

Bila kualitas honda di Indonesia tidak sama berarti benar2 keterlaluan karena dari segi harga honda Indonesia beberapa kali lebih mahal daripada honda Amrik.AD74YA wrote:saya perhatikan bagian cabin bener2 masih utuh, masih sangat aman buat pengendara meskipun sunroofnya sudah koyak gitu... kalo yang nabrak pake safety belt udah pasti selamat....

Kalau kualitas sih harusnya sama ya, kan sudah global. Apalagi Honda Indo kan CBU dari Thailand, jadi sepertinya aneh sekali kalau khusus market Indo dibedakan dari market Asia Tenggara yang lain.

Yakin sih harusnya hehe, kalau untuk features and accesories sih mungkin saja dipangkas /diubah untuk tiap market negara, tapi untuk structural sih harusnya tidak.AD74YA wrote:apakah benar begitu?......
yakin?
Setau saya di praktek manufaktur mobil sih yang diubah paling antara pemakaian hot/cold rolled steel & galvanized steel untuk kondisi market yang memang berbeda2. Kalau untuk thickness yang beda2 (dipangkas untuk certain market), belum lagi harus buat dice baru, tentunya malah bisa lebih mahal.

Re: '08 Accord Coupe is hit by F-150 traveling 100+ mph
Berkurangnya tingkat kecederaan dan fatalitas penumpang dalam kecelakaan berkendaraan adalah hal yang wajar seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi seperti airbag. Tapi tingkat kehancuran sebuah mobil dan parahnya cedera yang dialami penumpangnya dalam suatu kecelakaan lebih ditentukan oleh posisi dan bagian mobil yang terkena impact tak peduli merek dan harga mobil tsb (seperti halnya kecelakaan yang menimpa Mercy yang ditumpangi Putri Diana). Saya pernah melihat mobil BMW 520 model awal tahun '90-an yang ditabrak dari belakang oleh sebuah Honda Accord dan hanya mengalami kerusakan pada sekitar bumper-nya tetapi kepala si Honda Accord hancur parah dan pengemudinya-pun terjepit kakinya.
Saya juga pernah melihat sebuah mobil Toyota Altis yang ditabrak dari belakang kemudian menabrak mobil di depannya (posisinya jadi terjepit). Kejadiannya saat konser Prince di LA dan si penabrak walaupun mengemudi dalam keadaan teler tapi masih sempat mengerem sebelum menabrak. Tapi kondisi body dan chasis Altis yang ditabrak menjadi tertekuk (jadi aneh bentuknya).
Saya harap teman-teman menggunakan logika dan akal yang sehat agar tidak termakan promosi opportunistic semacam ini.
