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

Could she not have opened the door or rolled down the window? The article made sure we knew that she went to Harvard and described the event she was attending, but no mention of why she was unable to exit the vehicle. Did she not know how to swim? Was their some obstruction? Did something malfunction? Was she so used to having other people do things for her that it just never occurred to her to do anything for herself?

It’s pretty much impossible to open a car door underwater. You’d need superhuman strength.

As to why the windows didn’t roll down, I can only speculate.

It’s why us OGs learned how to crack auto glass with a spark plug stashed in the glove compartment. Just, don’t tell any billionaires. 🤓
You can get a seat belt cutter with a ceramic tip for pretty cheap too
Everyone should have one of these in their car, and keep it in an easily accessible place. They can save your life in an emergency, and you can buy one for a few bucks. Bonus points that they double as a pretty decent weapon if you’re ever the victim of road rage.
