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?

Reading something while you're supposed to be driving is not very smart either.

It's not clear whether the driver had his or her bible out. As was mentioned before, this story is *very* light on facts. All we know is that these kids ied tragically, and CNN latched onto a detail about the kids having their bibles out. We have little to no context.

Seriously, can we get off the "Christians = teh stupid" angle? It's pretty uncool to broadly paint any group with a brush like that.

I'm not. If the people were discovered with biology textbooks or even People magazines in their laps, I'd have the same opinion.

Ooh, I wish it were copies of On the Origin of Species, that would've been awesome. ^_^
