I'm not exactly sure what to say to this story except it feels like it was inevitable.

Bizarre. I feel badly for their families. And the dog... the poor mutt had no choice in anything.

How the hell did those women even find Maine?
Why didn't they open the door?

I'm confused. Poor dog.

This is the reason we should have 'Adulthood Licenses'. Don't pass the test? Go to the supervised living facility for life.

I wondered the same thing about the door. Told my wife this was a Darwin Award candidate.

I can usually find sick humor in most anything, But Im missing it here, One of the women was 5 months pregnant. they had Both just came thru an ordeal(At least for them), Prolly relieved to have been rescued . Then after driving into the water that they had no way of knowing was even there this is stated in the article

Smith said it's possible the van's electric windows and automatic door locks stopped working once the minivan was submerged.

That would preclude them from being able to open a door at least just by grabbing the handle then what about the O/S water pressure pushing against the door?
Very sad deal and only proves one thing . When its yer time Yer going one way or the other.

You have to laugh Howie.

You get rescued, then you immediately drive into the ****ing ocean? Nobody else drove into the ocean that rainy, stormy night. Did they celebrate their rescue too hard and get all ****ed up? How the hell do you just drive down the boat ramp/pier on into the ocean?

I do feel for the dog and the unborn baby, but most of the filthy libs around here just think it was a clump of sub-human cells anyhow. The hound will be getting prayer vigils from them. I mean if they prayed it would.

Exactly. People die everyday, this one just happens to be in the "you can't make this stuff up" category.
