They must have been trying to escape. The rear doors don't have mechanical releases, so your in a tough spot if the front doors fail to open for any reason and there is a fire. I don't know why they didn't include a mechanical release on the back.

- ajross 5y agoWith all respect, the metasignificance of the linked article is that it's a factual refutation of wild speculation ("there was no one at the wheel!") that people were engaging in about this accident. And before the thing is even in the grave, you're launching into yet more wild speculation? I mean, is this based on something the NTSB considered?
- jdsully 5y agoWith all respect it scares the crap out of me that the rear doors of my car don't have a way to open without electricity. I don't like to carry passengers in the backseat for that reason, and I think its a much less far fetched explanation than not being at the wheel while driving.
- ajross 5y agoNone of that justifies the implication that these people died because they were trapped in the car. Again I point out that this kind of consideration is absolutely something the NTSB would have been empowered to investigate, and they didn't go where you wanted. So you went there anyway. How is that any better than "there was no one at the wheel!"
