I don’t like Brokaw, but this is not his fault and we shouldn’t make it seem that way. The crash doesn’t appear to have been that severe, and the woman was thrown out of her car because she wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
Doors pop open even in fairly low-speed crashes, and the laws of physics mean that your body is still traveling even though the car has suddenly come to a stop. Bad news.
Well said. People think they’re invisible and can survive anything. I always wear a seat belt even if I’m going down the street to get gas, and I demand my 9 year old daughter to do the same.
