Don't fight, let's move on (temporarily). We don't have enough
information 
until yet... And as sad as this story is, we just second-guess here.
We don't know even most important data... However, the press hardly gets
any sympathy from me.

IMHO, A8 would have more chance to save their lifes. But remember: the 
only person who survived (and the only, who got the radiator in th lap)
was the SEATBELTED bodyguard. A6, A8, an armoured MB S-car (or Yugo) is
unsafe at any speed over 5-10 mph , if you don't wear the seatbelts.

We have no reliable info at this time about the seatbelts...
