> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Made the decision to engage in a high speed fleeing. Some of those end safely. Many do not. The exact place and manner this one came to an end was doubtless unintentional and unpredictable. From the other establishing shots in the news station video it looks to me like the highway they were on had a surfaced median/left shoulder that did NOT continue onto the overpass bridge but just ended at the edge of the void with no barrier to redirect you you back onto the roadway nor even to just smash into. Which would be an added omission from the highway agency. And damn, youngest girl was 14. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > My larger point was the three non-drivers (probably) had little input into their fate after they first got into the car I wonder how much input they all had about even getting into the car. A 14 and a 16 year old girl were in the car with 18 and 19 year old men. The girls may not have been dragged in there, but unless they were, say, sisters of the young men it seems kind of hinky to me. ---

Isn’t theater the wrong profession for someone who doesn’t want to deal with drama? ---

The bad part is when your cast can’t remember doing the time warp. Drinking those moments when the blackness would hit them, and the void would be calling… Just perform like you rehearsed!!! ---

"A Welsh ghoul dressed as the “Grim Reaper” " That’s a terribly worded sentence, unless it was a ghoul dressed as the grim reaper, it should’ve been “A Welsh man dressed as the grim reaper”.
