The SUV owners will probably get sued by the families of the victims because they didn't buy a Volvo or some other safer SUV. I only half-joke.

If I were the owner of the SUV, I would sue the parents of the teens for raising such lousy kids.

Egad. Who could forget "Wheels of Tragedy" from the Ohio State Police???

When I was in the Navy, they used to have a training film they showed us called:

LINK: "The Man From LOX" Training Video

It was directed primarily at young men between the ages of 17 and 21, and it was interesting and comical, to get our attention and keep it throughout the film. It was all about the dangers of working with Liquid Oxygen for planes (LOX)

(If you are offended by sexist training videos, don't watch it!)

The "storyline" is a young sailor working with LOX, who has to get the LOX tank back to a safe location after filling the tanks for the planes. He keeps getting stopped by his buddies who want him to go to the club with them, his parents who magically appear on the flight line and want him to go home with them, or the young woman below who wants him to drop everything and go to the beach with her.

At every stage, he tells the people trying to distract him that he has to bring it back or "The Safety Officer is going to have his ass".

When he gets it back safely, he meets the Safety Officer:

But the very end of it, the last 40 seconds of it or so, is gory and real. Not made up. The story we were told was this young man they showed, who died within minutes after the video was taken, had been working on a hot day, and decided to put the vent nozzle for the LOX dispenser into his coveralls, where the cold, venting liquid oxygen gas filled his coveralls and saturated them. He then took a break to smoke a cigarette, and exploded in flames, fatally injuring him.

We were young guys, all laughing and guffawing at the corny, funny training video, but none of us laughed at that.

And none of us ever forgot it. I talk to naval veterans today, and if they worked in aviation as I did, this film was indelibly etched on their brain.

I appreciate your modification. I was once an unwilling participant in a car where the driver was trying to impress the other guy in the car and his date, and probably even me. We were double-dating. I had no interest in the guy other than getting out of the house for the night. Nevertheless, he drove us down a road that was newly paved (part of it anyway), at 120 mph. There were no streetlights. It was just being developed. Pitch black. I was scared out of my head, and that was the last I ever talked to that guy. I didn’t even want him to drive me home. If he was trying to impress me, he failed miserably.

The parents of the “teens” need to be liable for the difference in insurance payout and a new vehicle for the owner....That would be a worthy lawsuit.

WOW. A skin doc whom I knew, was a Korean War vet.

On another matter, about the bra (see, I am already distracted):

On a date, with girl in the right seat, while I was watching the road . . . I noticed her moving around a bit, and then suddenly she produced her bra.

Me: “How did you do that?”

After all these years, now I know. I learned something. Thank you.

*** Two of the teens in the car died at the Waldo area scene, while the other two passed away from their injuries days later at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville.***

I’m really glad that no one in my family was impacted. Hits too close to home.

#17: "Now the SUV owner has to buy another vehicle...what a hassle."

Hope that the owner sues the parents of the dead perps for at least the the cost of a replacement SUV, and for emotional distress of losing his SUV. Garnish their benefits (wages?) if need be.
