No, sorry; they played it on the 6 p.m. news.

OK, so if I am following this, and I may not be, surfer signed off for his trip to the funeral at 4:30 EST and probably still thinks that "collision" is the operative word.

I am not defending anyone, only making the point that there are/were enough different stories to give anyone the information needed to come to any of a number of conclusions.

I do think mentioning the swamp was a key word the cops should have locked onto, but where seconds count it probably made no difference to the victims. Had the rescue squad slid to a stop where a person was standing pointing to the car, there might have been a chance. But by the time rescue people have to look for the car, even if they found it fairly quickly, you would expect too much time had elapsed.

I have often wondered why the DOT does not put the cable type barriers at places like that. Those cables have unreal stopping power.

Oh, you're exactly right. I didn't think of that.

If I'm remembering correctly, there has been some discussion lately about working on that section of 95; it's been YEARS since it was "upgraded."
