So I don’t know how to say any of this but it all needs said. I have never loved or been loved by anyone as much as this amazing woman @thejessicombs she was truly my unicorn and I enjoyed every single minute that I had with her. She was the most amazing spirit that I have ever or will ever know. Unfortunately we lost her yesterday in a horrific accident, I was the first one there and trust me we did everything humanly possible to save her!! I’m not ok, but she is right here keeping my going-I made her a promise that if this didn’t go well that I would make sure and do good with it, please help me with that, you are all going to see things on news please believe non of them.. we the family have drafted a release and it will come out today with more proper info, but I was just woke up by the media tracking me down and I need everyone of her true friends to do what she would want “take a deep breath, relax” and do good things with this. Please donate to nothing, I know there will be people try, we are finishing the documentary as she wished and the world will know the truth and her foundation will use those funds to do amazing things in this world and make her legacy live on properly. In the coming days her family and I will get the proper channels put together that you can then donate to that foundation but until you hear it from me wait please-I don’t want some asshole profiting off this (all ready had one try to sell us a video)... . . Love you all and thank you all for being such amazing friends to her, she dedicated her life to helping support others dreams and I promise I will continue that.

While I did actually go slightly faster with a new top speed of 483.227 mph... on our very first slow speed shakedown run... unfortunately a piece of debris was sucked into the turbine intake. There is minimal damage, though game over for now. Quite a bummer, but happy with the new achievements :) Looking forward to the next attempt of ludicrous speed. . #iwillgofaster in hopes to become the #fastestwomanonearth Thanks to the #northamericaneagle team for all your hard work and our friends and family for the support. #iloveyou

Supuestamente pretendía llegar a las velocidad de 996 kilómetros por hora, con un vehículo de propulsión reactiva, lo que se acerca bastante a la velocidad del sonido, siendo al mismo tiempo algo sumamente riesgoso.

It may seem a little crazy to walk directly into the line of fire... those who are willing, are those who achieve great things. .

People say I’m crazy. I say thank you ;)

Su récord en 2016 fue de 769 kilómetros por hora en Alvord Desert, mismo lugar donde falleció el día de ayer.

Las autoridades dijeron: “El 27 de agosto de 2019, aproximadamente a las 4:00 p.m., el Centro 911 del Condado de Harney recibió una llamada informando que un automóvil a reacción que intentaba romper un récord de velocidad en tierra en el Desierto de Alvord se había estrellado y provocó una muerte”.
