I'm on this guy's side. Heck, he was even going to pay for it. I'm not sure what the actual costs are, but 8k is no pittance. The government should help him - particularly as it seems that the roads he paid taxes for resulted in her death. All this, of course, based purely on a quick read of the article. If tomorrow I read, "Son didn't actually ahve 8k" or "Son despised mom for years, trying to sue the state to pay for gambling debts" then that's another story.

Wow, what a story.

I feel badly the son can't get his mother to bury her, but why compound the tragedy by putting other people lives at risk.

Dennison said he saw items in the road that he knew came from his mother's truck.

What am I missing? If the car skidded off the road, went over a cliff, into a quarry, and sank in 105 feet of water -- why is debris scattered in the road?

Maybe just close the road? Common sense alert!

Most car accidents happen within 5 miles of home, so we moved.

Heart warming tale.

Gosh ... I wonder what color that state is?

"Dennison, 28, of Rockland has had his own encounter with another one of the city's quarries in September 2002."

" He said he lost control of his pickup truck on a rainy night and found himself skidding over the edge."

" Unlike his mother, he said, he was able to jump free of his vehicle and land in the quarry. He suffered a broken hip and cracked ribs. He was cited by city police for driving to endanger, sentenced to two weeks in jail and ordered to pay the cost of his rescue. "


That'll teach him.




Now about mom ...

WTF, back in the 60's we used to dive beneath the ice in the old limestone quarrys located around Lemont just outside Chicago. We would cut holes in the ice, rig up nylon lines, and several of us would dive down to the bottom around 100 feet. Was not that bad with a 1/4 inch wet suit and long handle woolen underwear.

So, over 40 years later with modern gear, they can't go ice diving?

The cost really seems to be an issue in this particular case for some reason. I wonder if the Kennedy family paid for all the recovery efforts for JFK jr.?

With the tens of billions the Feds spend on pork barrel nonsense every year, you'd think they could come up with some transportation dollars to improve/fix/reroute exceedingly dangerous roads like these.
