Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao made panicked last call before dying in ‘completely submerged’ Tesla on Texas ranch: report

Angela Chao, Sen. Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law, spent her last minutes alive frantically calling her friends for help as her Tesla slowly sank in a pond on a remote Texas ranch, according to a report.

Chao, the billionaire former CEO of dry bulk shipping giant Foremost Group, tragically died at the age of 50 on Feb. 10 after accidentally backing her car into the pond while making a three-point turn.

The driving mishap was detailed in a report by The Wall Street Journal that shed light on the chaotic rescue efforts that ultimately came up short, turning what was supposed to be a celebratory weekend with friends into a nightmare.

Chao invited several of her girlfriends from Harvard Business School to spend the weekend on a gorgeous, sprawling 900-acre private property in Texas’ Hill Country, that included horse stables, a swimming pool and a 10-bedroom guesthouse, the Journal reported.

After eating dinner together and celebrating the Chinese New Year on Friday night, Chao left the guesthouse around 11:30 p.m. to head back to the main house, where her son was sleeping. It was cold out, so she decided to take her Tesla Model X SUV for the four-minute drive rather than walk.

I do not think Pelosi hired Chinese chauffeur...it was other Senator from CA...who recently died, whose name escapes me.

always carry something to break the glass..

\/

do not all 1st responders carry window breaking tools ?

iirc, 1st responders were present and “ tried” to free her for a full hour ?

wouldnt breaking the window would be the 1 st thing they would do ?

lots of folk can be resuscitated after being drowned if gotten to immediately. . ..not even trying to hide their actions anymore are they ?

Boxer? Feinstein?

It came out around the same time as the story about the DNC hiring Pakistani nationals (with connections to the Pakistan Government) as IT managers on the Congressional Computer servers.

Taxis in Taipei are a hair-raising experience.
Two of my colleagues and I went to a department store right before Christmas.
The taxi darted in amongst scooters with whole families on board, and had one after the other near misses.
I just tried to look at the floorboard so that when we inevitably hit someone I wouldn’t see the carnage.
I heard my male friend yell “look out” several times.
When we got to the department store it was wall to wall humanity.
You couldn’t stop to look at anything, you just had to go with the flow, wound up being swept in one door and out the other.
Got separated from both colleagues, but since one was a head taller than everyone else and black and the other lady was also quite tall and Hawaiian was able to keep them in sight.
The Taiwanese were very friendly and seemed to like Americans.

You don’t realize how hackable a Tesla is, everything is run on software from the brakes, accelerator, and steering. You hack a Tesla and you essentially have a drone. Chao was murdered and the Demonrats got their $ billions from Mitch McConnell the brother-in-law.

As a military brat, from a town with lots of Asian moms, this was the certain consensus of their own children.

Nope. They WANT us to know. What good is a warning if no one hears it?

I’ve read electric windows will,still work under water for a short time, but ultimately ately the window should be put down before the car c9mpletely sinks, and try to,get out through the window. Trying to open a door with all windows up is near impossible I guess before the pressure equalizes.

Couple days ago I had the throttle stick on my truck. Lucky I was far enough away from anything solid to get things under control. It was pretty sobering. Todays fly by wire control systems work amazing when they work, but when they get confused things can get very interesting.

"Is anyone else concerned that Mitch has a sister-in-law who was so deeply connected with the CCP?"

Nah. It's fine. We have a POTATUS and probably half of Congress that are owned by the CCP.

You’re right. It was Feinstein. Pelosi’s husband had substantial business interests in China.
