Nodar Kumaritashvili November 25, 1988 - February 12, 2010
David Letterman was unusually scathing last night on his late night talk show, blasting the organizers of the luge competition that took the life of a 21 year old competitor from Georgia named Nodar Kumaritashvili.
Organizers claimed that it was an error on the young mans part, that lead to his own death. Letterman said he believed no human error in an Olympic event should lead to someone’s death and that if the organizers truly believed the lies they were telling, then they would not have padded the steel beams that caused Nodar’s death along with shortening the race.
