    Tragic way to die. I wouldn’t wish this even on my worst enemies.

    We all watch the videos of how to deal with this exact situation but in reality only a few people would be able to react accordingly to save themselves.

    The article describes the area of water as a “pond” but the vehicle was fully submerged. Rescuers had trouble with rescue attempts due to the depth. Seems more like a lake to me.

      I appreciate this. I’m astounded by the callous lack of empathy of some of these other comments.
