DIANA PRINCESS
               OF WALES 1961-1997
                                                 
 
      The tragedy of last nights accident is showing on the faces of people around the globe today.  Shortly around midnight. in Paris France, Princess Dianne got into a serious car accident.  The Princess and Dodi al Fayed, had just finished finished dining at the Ritz, owned by Fayed's father.  The two had been followed for the past five weeks by paprazzi's or free-lance photographers.  They left the building through a back door.  They were accompanied by a chauffeur made available by the Ritz Hotel, and a Body guard.

      They were traveling to Fayed's apartment, when many paparazzi's traveling on motorcycles started chasing after them at extremely high speeds.  The speeds accelerated from 85 to over 100.  They collided with the Pont de l'Alma birdge running along the Seine river.  The Driver and Fayed were pronounced dead on arrival.  The car was damaged so badly that it took one hour to get Diana out.  She was conscious when she was taken to the ambulance.
 
     We were told then that the injuries were classified as serious, with a concussion, a broken arm, and a severely lacerated thigh.  Later we found the injuries more serious.  She was taken to the de la Pitir Salpetriere hospital.  The hospital they choose is know questioned by many people, where as there was an American hospital much closer.  When at the hospital here blood pressure dropped severely.  The pericardium or the sack around the heart had filled with blood as a result of either the left pulmonary valve getting cut open by either a broken sternum, or broken ribs.  The pericardium started to prevent the heart from pumping blood to the rest of the body, the fluids then filled her lungs and had respiratory failure.  They inserted a chest tube to suck out the blood, but it did not regain the blood pressure.  After about two hours of emergency operations, followed two more hours of emergency surgery.  With manual massaging of the heart.  The 36 year old princess died at 4:00 A.M. of Cardiac Arrest.  The new was know at about 6:00 A.M. to the public.

         My sincere regards to all the families, and friends, of all the people involved in this crash.  And my deepest wishes to the Princesses sons.
