I guess the good Lord figured now was as good a time as any to take these 2 dimwits... unfortunately one was pregnant so an innocent and their dog were also lost. ![eek eek](/images/graemlins/default/eek.gif) A couple of hikers who were found in a Maine park after becoming lost subsequently drove their car into the ocean and drowned. http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/two-hikers-l...scued-1.1381169http://www.firehouse.com/news/11057670/rescued-lost-hikers-drown-after-wrong-turn-in-mainehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...o=feeds-newsxml ROQUE BLUFFS, Maine -- Authorities say two women who got lost while hiking in a Maine state park died in a car accident shortly after their rescue. Thirty-seven-year-old Amy Stiner, of Machias, and 38-year-old Melissa Moyer, of Sunbury, Pa., were killed Tuesday night when they drove their car into the ocean after driving the wrong way down a road. The county sheriff says Moyer was five months pregnant. Officials say the women became lost while hiking near Roque Bluffs State Park. A landowner found them and their dog and gave them a ride to a home. Authorities later took them back to their car. A short time later, the women called to say they had driven their vehicle into the water -- and then the phone went dead. The car was later found underwater.

Some people are visited by bad fortune. Some, it might be argued, have a talent for visiting it upon themselves. The latter makes many of us frustrated, angry, contemptuous. In fairness, I think many of us can remember situations where fortune tipped in our favour through no merit of our own.
Regardless of the circumstances, lives were lost unnecessarily. That is always a tragedy; we are all works in progress, and we cannot see the good they may have done in the world, before or after. Name-calling ultimately diminishes the caller.
My 2c.

I would guess there was something else going on. Shock likely from being lost, or hypothermia, drugs etc. Too bad there wasn't a real SAR debriefing with the two, might have prevented tragedy.

Good observation. Surely there is more here than meets the eye.

There's no reason to call people names, especially after they have DIED. From the news reports, sounds like simply a tragic accident of making a wrong turn after a stressful ordeal combined with bad weather. And they weren't the first ones to drive off that boat launch either.

And sometimes it's your day to die.
