The headline almost makes it sound like the SUV fell on their heads.

Guess the SUV didn’t have the strength to hang on—probably due to ethanol impairment.

It’s ok. They were dead before they hit the ground due to the assault rifle that went off twice by itself when the car was falling, striking both men in the head.

And they weren't wearing their seatbelts.

The headline almost makes it sound like the SUV fell on their heads. That's exactly what it sounds like. I think it's time to accept that our motor vehicles are out to get us. Maybe we should all just stay home.

Early reports indicate that a number of Prius’s and Volts had gathered at the base of the bridge and were urging the SUV to jump.

and they were smoking cigarettes while delivering boxes of incandescent light bulbs..sounds like the SUV had no other choice but to take the law into its own hands..
