Where were the flags!?!? that's f**king stupid!
The marshal with the yellow flag must have gone for a piss at the time.
Surely the safety car should be out with the medical car being on track.

You could tell they didn't give a fcuk from the speed the first two cars went past.
Should be some long bans going on there.

Saw this a few weeks back - scary stuff! The only reason i can think this might happen (as clearly all the drivers fail to slow enough) is that they were running to FIA flag rules which dictates you can only have 1 flag post wave a yellow, which must be the post before the accident. (although the clerk of the course can overrule this - that would take time to send a message)
Sounds sensible enough, but say the accident happens 1ft past a marshal post after a corner, this post would show a yellow - not the one before the corner.
I've seen this before at Brands Hatch in a support race for DTM. A car spun and stoped on the circuit at the base of Paddock hill, just past the marshal post on the infield. They threw a yellow flag, but this meant there was no yellow flag on the entry to Paddock - so cars were entering paddock without any yellow to tell them there was a car in the middle of the circuit.
Apparently what is often done in this situation is (common sense is engaged) and the post just infront of the accident will throw a green (when it should strictly be a yellow) - but this force the before the corner to throw a yellow flag.
In the video i cant see where the marshal post is, it could be pretty unsighted and just before the accident - certainly the green flag seems alot further down track.

Idiots
Again
It's a stupid rule, and I can't really see the advantage of it, and when you see things like this happen, you just think wtf.

It depends on the track and series.
Not all series are broadcast live. If the teams cant see whats happened then they cant warn their driver.

Could have been at least 3 killed there.
