Noted that they had to peel back the window frame on the door to get her out. This raises the issue of power windows and door locks on submerged cars . Heard that power windows get shorted out when car gets submerged . Some people say they carry a knife to cut the seat belt but have never heard of anyone carrying a hammer to knock out a window . I guess if you routinely drive a road that is beside water , might not be a bad idea to carry a hammer under the seat. Don't know how clear her head was with the beer cans and vodka bottle floating out of the car but it looks like this might not have ended as good as it did if the men were not there to bend back the window frame.

I was watching a show the other day that was filmed during Katrina in Key West... here's another TL that went for a swim. Ironic that they focused on this car, also sad.

i have one of those knife glassbreaker things. never tried it out, but it looks like it wud work. it was like 9, 10 bucks. figured better safe than sorry. plus it wud make a good defensive weapon if you were being mugged at your car. one properly placed swing of it could bring anyone down.

This is what I love about the site. Keep learning about stuff all the time . Think I'll look around for one of these things and just keep it under the seat , ya just never know when ya might need it.

calm down?

have you never heard the women driver jokes?

besides. we all know men get in twice as many wrecks.

my only defense is. when we wreck, its because we are doing stupid things on purpose. not because we are unaware of our surroundings let the words fly...

dont get me wrong i give everyone in the service mad props for serving our country...... but jus becuz she was in the Navy that gives her the right to drink and drive?..NO..i dont think so..and would it of been better if she had someone with her in the car..NO!!!...she would've gotten the other person injured also.

Clearly the drinking/driving is because of some deeper issues. Issues she likely needs help dealing with, the Navy should be getting her counseling. A Lot of crap happens in the service that unless you've lived it saying things like 'she deserved it' or 'what a women driver' is really inappropriate. Online or in person. The fact you think it, and cannot help yourself from saving it says a lot about the person you are.

Jokes are funny, at one time we made fun of other races and it was acceptable. Today dropping a racist comment on a forum like this would get you banned. Sexism is just as serious.

I wonder how the women on the board feel when they read your sexist remarks? Do you think they feel like being apart of this forum? What if you find out this TL driver was a forum member?

If you wouldn't say it to her face, you shouldn't say it online. If you'd say it to her face, you got bigger problems than she does.

I hate sexism. I despise people who hide behind screens and oppress an entire group of people with their ignorant comments.

dude you don't need to get all worked up about a joke. I wasn't trying to "opress" any group of ppl or offend anyone. There are tons of women driver jokes out there and I was just trying to call it out. And if she was on the forum I would say it to her, as a joke that is, it doesn't mean I have a problem, it means I'm trying to lighten up a stressful time for her. And if someone wants to take it the wrong way then all i gotta say is, gain a sense of humor. And you don't even know why she was drinking, maybe she just likes to, not because she's traumatized. My argument is just as good as yours. Fact is, NOTHING justifies drinking and driving. And we have yet to hear the women of the beard chime in so I'm assuming that they didn't take it as hard as you did. Laugh is off buddt, its nothing to lose sleep over
