Are you kidding me? Haven't you ever heard how hard it is to get out of a vehicle when it is in water? If the windows were automatic after water gets to the system they are no longer working and to open a door with all that water is impossible...get a clue! I am so sorry for all of the families!

This is way beyond sad, it is a tragedy!I pray for their families and friends during this time and no words can even begin to express the loss. I went to the softball park in Menifee last night, many people were mourning.

It's weird that they couldnt get out... I wonder if they were drunk? In another article it said it was only 12 feet of water. You'd think they would all be in good shape from being athletes they could swim out. But in my car the doors lock and I wonder if the power shut off if the doors would stay locked? Scary- it's too bad.
