C'est mercredi, le trente janvier

Le scandale est souvent pire que le péché.
The scandal is often worse than the sin.
MARGUERITE DE NAVARRE, Heptaméron, 25e nouvelle




Vous Savez?!: On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont d'Alma tunnel in Paris, France. The crash was a result of a high speed chase where the car holding the princess attempted to escape the paparazzi. As the casualties lay seriously injured or dead in their wrecked car, the photographers continued to take pictures. The critically injured Diana was reported to repeatedly murmur the words, "oh my God", and after the photographers were pushed away by emergency teams, the words "leave me alone".

* Her companion Dodi Fayed and the driver of the car, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Fayed's bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, was believed to be the only occupant wearing a seat belt until a 2006 study that said none of the four were wearing a seat belt.

An eighteen-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the car crash that killed Diana was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated and under the influence of antidepressants.
