Howlin,
How many times am I going to have to do this?
You wrote in post 321 and I quote:
"My source is the PILOT of the helicopter"
So Howlin please explain to me how you never said the pilot wasn't your source?
You really have some problems keeping the facts straight.
Until you 1) understand the written English language and/or 2) stop parsing and nitpicking everything anybody posts that you don't know.
You said:
Howlin has an opinion based on her local sources.
And I said my "source" was the helicopter pilot.
You really have some problems keeping the facts straight.
I have not been wrong on anything; you, on the other hand, regaled us all last night with stories of all the things you were hearing in NY -- even told me I should see what they were saying in the NY Post and Newsday, etc., so I went there, and SURPISE, they weren't saying anything.
You also told us all that there were "a lot" of phone calls to 911 about the wreck; there weren't.
I could go on, but everybody's seen what you've posted.
You need to learn two things: 1) it's not our fault you don't do any research or reading and 2) I *NEVER* post anything I cannot back up.

Myrtle Beach couple's bodies found in crashed car in N.C.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The bodies of a Myrtle Beach couple traveling to New York City to visit family were found Monday inside their crashed car off Interstate 95 near Rocky Mount, N.C., Horry County police said.
The white 2003 Mazda was found submerged in water around 3:30 p.m. after a transportation worker saw evidence a car might have left the highway, authorities said.
Two bodies were found inside the vehicle, identified as Wayne Guay, 57, and Dianne Guay, 55, authorities said.
Someone called 911 on Thursday morning to report a wreck near the same location, but emergency officials couldn't locate a crashed car, North Carolina Highway Patrol Lt. Everett Clendenin said.
The couple were expected to leave Myrtle Beach early Thursday morning, arriving in Queens, N.Y. that evening. Family members became worried when calls to the couple's cell phone went straight to voice mail.
Wayne Guay, 57, was a former employee of New York's Department of Sanitation, and Dianne Guay, 55, was a former city school employee. They moved to the Myrtle Beach area several years ago after retiring, family members said.
A number of family members and friends had gathered at the Guays' home. They could be heard crying when they got the news the couple had died. The couple's daughter Megan bowed her head and asked for a silent prayer.
She talked to reporters later. "I just want to thank everyone who's praying for us and for the souls of my parents. They're in heaven now. They were perfect people. We always said we loved each other, we gave each other hugs, and I'm thankful that God gave them to me for 27 years," she said.
The couple's son-in-law in Queens, Daniel Rodriguez, said the family was distraught over the terrible news.
"Everybody is destroyed and devastated," Rodriguez said from his home in the borough's Ridgewood section. "They would help anybody. It's just a shame this had to happen."
He said it seemed the couple's car crash was an accident.
"They went off the road and crashed through a divider and went down an embankment and ended up in a swamp," he said. "The swamp covered the car, about two feet over the top of the roof."
Relying on money wired to them from family and friends, the Guay family rented a helicopter for an hour and a half Sunday and five hours Monday to help search. The helicopter found the car about the same time as the Highway Patrol.
Over the weekend, authorities received unconfirmed reports the couple had been spotted in Richmond, Va., Horry County Deputy Chief David Beaty said.
Dianne Guay's sister, Lynne Conway, said she had viewed surveillance footage from the Virginia gas station her sister and brother-in-law always visited during their trips to New York City after a clerk said she thought she had seen the couple. She is sure she didn't see them.
"We went frame by frame, Conway said. "We stayed there the whole night."
Conway said she and her husband had driven to Myrtle Beach from their home in Brick, N.J., to help support family members as the search continued.
Nothing was out of the ordinary at the couple's home, said Daniel Rodriguez, the couple's son-in-law. The couple was traveling with luggage as well as holiday gifts.
Yes, Howlin - I saw the post and made the same interpretation.
So, could we please move on and make suggestions as to how some of the senior snowbirders traveling the length of I95 arrange "buddy convoys" of at least three vehicles so that there is always help available in the darkest hours of winter driving.
I95 traffic is often very light during some hours and this type of mishap will continue to go unnoticed and unreported until a similar tragedy occurs.
Thank you for your courtesies
