alan duke joins me live.from the video, this camera posted on a building across the street from where the crash happened, you don't actually see the crash. you don't see the car. see that? the light post falling and the tree and then you see this debris go. all right, count 60 seconds from that point. itis not until there that you see significant smoke. there's a whisp of smoke. i'm not sure how this is edited. the smoke is very light for 60 seconds. what that suggests is the fire did not become a raging fire for about a minute which means the two occupants in the vehicle would have had 60 seconds to get out, if they could have. we don't know what happene. nobody saw what they were trying to do at that time. it was a full 60 seconds until what you see now, the heavier smoke going. right. i believe this is edited, correct me if i'm wrong. if we saw -- >> it is edited. you saw the raw. 60 seconds after the light pole goes down is when the smoke begins, is that correct? >> having been there that evening and seei

. >> cnn's alan duke was at the scene of the crash saturday night. joins us now. s seem to be coming out hourly almost on this death. any word on this drag racing theory, how fast they were going in. >> well, they were speeding. that is known. the sheriff's investigator told me that that is a fact, they were going faster than the 45-mile-per-hour posted speed limit which ironically was posted on the lig light pole their porsche knock odd down. how was they were going and was there drag racing? >> the sheriff's investigator says they got a phone tip saying there was another car involved possibly drag racing. i've learned this morning that a sheriff's investigator asked some people if they saw any signs of drag racing. right now, there's been nothing identified. part of a theory that the sheriff's department is investigating. but i can tell you, that car is a very powerful -- it's an overpowered porsche. only a few hundred of them made in the world. that is a racing car, not really for the street. very hard to handle. >> some eyewitnesses say they thought maybe he wa

and our alan duke was on the scene this weekend. he had taken photos about 150 yards away from the crash scene, there were a lot of tire tracks, doughnut tracks, skid marks. and we had asked could this be part of the crash? at that time the authorities said we're not sure. they're still saying they're not sure if those skid marks have anything to do with it. but they are now saying that they're looking into drag racing as a possibility that there may have been another car involved in the crash. and they're also saying that they're looking into the possibility that another car veered? front of the porsche that walker's friend was driving and caused the crash. and it's because they got a phone tip over the weekend from someone who said that the porsche could have been involved in drag racing. that area in santa cla rita is known for it. there was a crackdown about two years ago in that area on fast racing and drag racing. >> and they've done a huge push to try and crack down on that. >>> i also want to talk about the fact that he was

. >> that's exactly what i wanted to get to, alan duke. thank you. peter, when you read all these different drivers and professionals quoted as describing this 2005 porsche carrera gt, this is a difficult car to drive, why? >> extremely powerful car. this actually is a stereo typical race car for the street. a lot of companies like to brag they make race cars for the street. this really was one. rear entry car, rear wheel drive, not all-wheel drive. also, 2005. it did not have electronic stability control, which many cars have today. it's a computerized system that can touch the brakes on individual wheels and turn the wheels if you start to skid. if this started to skid, there wasn't much you could do because it would skid around easily with the engine in the back, not up front. >> this was a limited edition kind of car. what was the price tag for this thing? >> at the time, over $400,000. they're so rare that even today if you can find one, they're over $300,000. >> this is what they call your high-performance sports car. why would one need to have

but our own alan duke from cnn digital did make his way to the crash scene yesterday. saw some tire marks 50 feet away. when we talk to a spokesperson, they told us they don't know if those tires were a part of the crash or involved in the investigation, but they did not say definitively that they were not. again, paul walker, 40 years old, guys, he was filming "fast and furious 7" in atlanta at this time. apparently he was in los angeles for the thanksgiving holiday visiting family and friends and was set to return to atlanta this week to finish filming the movie -- filming was set to wrap on december 14th. the last installment of "fast and furious" worldwide made $788 million last year. this was a big franchise, he was a big movie star. and his friends and co-workers are just shocked this morning. >> you know, we're already seeing a lot of reaction online. what are people saying? what are you hearing? >> yeah, well, a lot of his co-workers and friends like i said have been tweeting about it. let me read you a couple of them that we got last night ludacris, wherever y
