TAMPA, Fla. – The driver and the child in her lap survived when a pickup truck slammed into a 1,500-gallon aquarium at Tampa International Airport. The tropical fish were not so lucky. Airport officials said 36-year-old Yamile Campuzano-Martine lost control of her truck and drove into the saltwater tank outside the American Airlines baggage claim Monday night. Airport spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan said the driver had an unrestrained 6-year-old boy in her lap.
About 90 percent of the 30 to 40 saltwater fish in the tank were killed.
The aquarium was part of a public art program. The airport spent $200,000 on the exhibit, which included the 12-foot tank.

So, should illegals be allowed to drive or not? Just asking
To: NormsRevenge
Ah; you saw the warning signs. Especially having an unrestrained child in the vehicle.

Would it be impolite of me to ask what the heck is a “Yamile Campuzano-Martine”?

Sure, as long as they are here legally and have a valid drivers license.

Are we sure she isn’t some radical conservative that has had enough of government waste and high taxes?
