Both passenger side windows were blown out when the car hit the water and the drivers window was rolled down. There was a current in the water. I think what probably happened is the current helped push him out. Before the current pushed him out, She struggle with him in her way, and ended up in the back seat , with current pushing in at her towards the only closed window, driver side, back window. She died with her hands clutching the seat, mouth pointed at the roof to breath air the air pocket.
I think you’re misinformed, sir. The windows were not blown out, were not open at all. Had they been there would not have been an air bubble trapped at the floor which was now facing up. That’s where she spent her last minutes of life; in the air bubble, clawing for a way out which was evidenced by scratch marks on the carpeting where she had desperately attempted to find a way out.
The car was positioned somewhat nose down, definitely bottom up so the rear seat was higher than the front seats and the air bubble was aft of the center line of the vehicle. That’s why they found her body in the rear half of the passenger compartment.
At the point of impact and submersion there is minimal current; tidal flow, yes, but not at such a rate as to sweep a body, THoC’s body, certainly, out of the vehicle to eventual safety.
I am convinced that, based upon his demeanor on the motel balcony on Sunday morning, his total shock and panic (all self serving, of course) upon being told of MJK’s death that he just couldn’t have been in that car at the time it went off the bridge.
Now, had he been so S-Faced that night that he didn’t recall anything of the event (improbable at best), perhaps. One could then say he blacked out and recalled nothing and the ‘facts’, as presented in the movie are correct. But had he been that S-Faced he would have been unable to present as he did at 0800 the next morning.
So, I stand by my theory that THoC wasn’t anywhere near the Oldsmobile when it went into the drink.
