There are plenty of videos from dashcams on YouTube, that shows what happens when a car gets in a wreck and catches on fire.
There was one from Taiwan (I won't link it, you can look it up yourself "car crash fire"), where the car catches on fire immediately after impact. The occupants are passed out but the fire spread really quick.
If the impact temporarily knocked Rodas & Walker out, no amount of safety equipment would save them if the fire spread really fast. Remember that even with a racing suit, Nomex slows down a fire (but it still will eventually burn). No one knows the exact situation but I think the police will have a good idea of whether they were trapped inside the car or not.
No need to thank anyone at this point, I had to see some truly sad faces on Saturday night.
