I feel bad for them but it truly is amazing how stupid a human can be.
I mean, if you can't see that well, why go fast enough to fly down a boat ramp, far enough out into the water where you sink? Hell, hitting a puddle of water a foot deep damn near stops you. I can't see how it's possible to accomplish what they did. |

Having just recently visited a lot of Maine a couple of weeks ago, I can see *in a way* how this could happen.
The fog can roll in up there in a moments notice and it can be thick, very thick. I have also been to several of those little towns like that where there are boat ramps just right off the main roads that just goes straight on out. Maybe they were drunk or just really unaware of things, but under the right conditions......... |

I hate to say this, but those 2 were destined to die. Maybe not on the hike, maybe not on the drive, but sometime, soon, they were going to die.

How far into the water is the door the instant it lands in the water and bobs back up again? eta: Also... most of the pressure you're fighting against is on the end of the door opposite the hinge. The closer to the hinge, the less effect the pressure has on your ability to open the door. Riddle me THAT math, batman.

I also remember something about cars flipping before that point due to tire buoyancy. |
