Teens die in car in icy pond

[asterroc]

I wish there were a little more factual information in this article. Five teens driving to school went off the road and into an icy pond. It took rescue crews 2 hours to get the car out, at which time the kids were found with their Bibles in their laps, still buckled into their seats, two already dead and the other three did not make it.

The part that's confusing me is if they had time to get their Bibles out, why did they not try to get out of the car?

I was thinking about that too, but then that'd mean the driver was reading while driving, as I believe the report said that they *all* had the Scripture out and in their laps. I could be wrong though. The report also doesn't say if they died of the cold or drowning, and if the car was filled with water or not - though I guess if it were entirely full they probably wouldn't've found Bibles in laps.

It's just interesting how they selectively chose enough to make it a good personal interest story, but not one you can learn anything from.

Sensationalism, ahoy!
