It’s always possible that this was just a tragic accident and nothing more. But I can’t blame people for speculating that there might be more to it. We’ve seen too much of what goes on behind the curtain, in recent years, to automatically dismiss such talk.

i looked to see what cops had to say about that tool
which of course is different than Emergency responders

the punch usually isnt standard issue for cops.
the hammer thing also had a seat belt cutter which you often need as well.

I’ve been in a flash flood. What started as a heavy rain became a msssive down pour. There were cars all around me blocking me in and I couldn’t drive out of it.

The car was submerged in less than 15 minutes. When the water started pouring in and the engine died, I knew the power windows would not work. The water pressure on the outside was too heavy to open the door.

I used the strongest part of my body, my legs, to kick the driver’s side window out. Thank God I was young, into gymnastics, dance, and cheerleading, because my legs were powerful back then.

If that happened now, I would drown.

Bullet proof glass? Forget about it.

Mitch McConnell is a powerful senator. And his whole family stinks of ChiCom influence.

It’s not generally known, but McConnell’s father-in-law gave Mitch and his wife a gift of at least $5 million. And the father-in-law has very close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

As the old saying goes, he who pays the piper calls the tune.đź’°

you also have to factor in the panic that sets in.

the punch device apparently doesnt work with laminated glass. That glass is a safety feature to keep from shattering in a crash.

not sure how tesla people are suppose to get out of a submerged vehicle

Funny how an abbreviation can mean different things to different people. When I saw the VC, my first thought was wait a minute, is this guy a holder of the Victoria Cross?

Some do. If the water pressure is equalized on both sides of the glass it dampens the effect.

this reporter tries to educate her watchers how to get out of the car. Note it is not laminated glass.

And I will say that just watching her submerge I know that I would be in full panic mode if it happened to me.

Public records show the property is owned by a trust that shares the same Chicago address as an investment and public equity firm owned by Chao’s husband, Jim Breyer.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right... so what was reported earlier about the property being owned by Mitch McConnel and Elaine Chao was bogus. Angela Chao drowned on her own property... or technically, property owned by her husband.

i think the real issue is that by the time someone gets to you it is going to be too late in a lot of cases unless someone witnesses it as it is happening and gets to you quickly.

you have to figure out how to get out if you have laminated side windows

ideally, as the car was zooming into the pond you would try to have the wits about you to roll down the window before you hit the water. She had plenty of time to react before she hit the water assuming she had power to roll down the window.

“ It’s always possible that this was just a tragic accident and nothing more. ”

True.

But why the radio silence, so to speak.

You also may not know the initial weird thing.

Her death was first reported in Chicom media. And these Chinese communist publications in China, in Chinese for China readers, reported a very detailed story that she was driving to Austin for a meeting when a truck driven by a drunk driver smashed in to her. The article reported that this driver was arrested at the science for drunk driving by Texas law enforcement.

New York Times and other media reported this subsequently, in less detail, only that she died in a car crash.

But none of it was true.

But what was true was that she did die on Chinese New Year in Texas.

How did Chinese media know this in the first place?

There was one English report of this Chicom story at a Vietnamese site.

See here. It is all total rubbish except for tha part that she died in Texas on Chinese New Year.
