“’I’d like to shake his hand or buy him a beer or both someday,’ Korb said.”
Story doesn’t pass logic test as written.
Infant “ejected”? Looking at the pictures perhaps it fell or was accidentally dropped from someone’s grasp as they Ttempted to exit.
No car seat mentioned.
If it was an ejection, then the child flew out during the event. Someone managed to see that, get stopped, jump into still cold waters of the bay, locate and save the child,, swim(?) and await the arrival of first responders (15 min maybe).
With the ‘facts’ presented, I am not going with the story as written.
PS, looking at the vehicle pics in the story, I don’t really see enough missing glass to allow an ejection.
WOW! Give him a medal. “Greater love hath no man” comes to mind. God bless that man. Hope all survived.
Other news sources tell us that authorities have called it a mass causuality event with 8 injured people. The term infant has been posted in quotation marks.
From photos it appears to be a single car accident, though it may only seem that way because of the focus on the more dramatic position of the car.
Specific location is named :
Assawoman Bay (locally /ˈæsəwʊmən/),
once called Assawoman Sound, is a lagoon that is located between Ocean City, Maryland and mainland Delmarva. The bay is located on the northern end of the city, the bay on the southern end is called the Isle of Wight Bay. Another bay called Little Assawoman Bay extends into southern Delaware, and is geologically separated from the main estuaries, by a narrow strait locally referred to as “The Ditch” which crosses the Transpeninsular Line. The larger bay is sometimes called “Big Assawoman Bay”, to distinguish it from the smaller bay, though this is often meant to be a tongue-in-cheek rendering of the name.
The obscure location being named by non-local media is sure to attract the attention and protests of feminist groups objecting to the “derogatory” name. Though the Kardcashians, Cardi B, Stacy Owens, Oprah, et al may become vocal supporters of the Big Assawoman location name.
Ass a woman Bay?
