After twin sisters plummeted off a Hawaii cliff, one died. The other was charged with murder.
Washington Post ^

At the beginning of the decade, Alison and Ann Dadow were well-known yoga entrepreneurs who drove matching Porsches, as identical as they were, around West Palm Beach, Fla. In late May, the 37-year-old twins plunged over the edge of a cliff in Hawaii and fell 200 feet in a Ford Explorer, which crumpled like an old soda can when it hit the slick, jagged rocks peeking out of the Pacific Ocean below.

Ann, sitting in the front passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her sister Alison was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and on Monday was charged with second-degree murder in Ann’s death. She’s been ordered to remain in jail without bail, according to court documents obtained by The Washington Post.

You could tell that she was very violently swearing at somebody else in the car,” Lau told KHNL. “She was mad and when she took off, it was in a rage. So she floored it and was in a rage as she sped past us.”

Alison allegedly drove straight off the cliff.

Alan Akina, a contributor to “Wake Up Today,” told KHON he also witnessed the accident.

“They just sped up, drove right past our van and turned off the cliff,” Akina said.

It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s he sudden stop at the end.

Even after actually reading the story, it doesn’t make sense. The two sisters were clearly having a major argument, involving hair-pulling. But, after stopping, the driver then floored the gas, rammed through a wall and plunged off a cliff. The driver died at the scene. But, the passenger is being charged? Sounds like the driver intended to kill them both to me.

They were trying out a new form of yoga: Crashtanga.

Yoga is the sacred path to mindfulness, compassion, serenity, & eternal peace.

From the article:

Ann, sitting in the front passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene.

I guess it’s a little confusing since the names both begin with A but it is easily determined that the passenger died and the driver is being charged.

I guess it’s a little confusing since both are yoga entrepreneurs and thus I was rooting for both to plunge to their deaths in a horrific, fiery car accident.
