Hmmm...gotta go with mamabear2 on this one (whom as usual) made a good observation and raised a valid point.

While we could kick this "Monday Morning Football" all over the place with speculation, the reality in this case (at least to my current knowledge) is that hard and fast facts are few and far inbetween and based uopn the dearth of information <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> , I find more questions than immediate answers.

Yes, while one has to wonder about leaving the vehicle & resources as he is purported to have done, I suspect that none of us would want to be second guessed / judged based upon such sketchy facts.

FWIW, like many others, my initial gut reaction falls along the line of "Darwin Award candidate", "evolution" "if you're gonna be dumb, then you've gotta be tough". It is very easy to prejudge baed upon incomplete data.

Loss of life is not a laughing matter. About the best that we can hope for is to find the truth and learn from history.

I find it both a sad commmentary and regrettable that our society has come to labeling knives as sharp, and having to label coffee cups with warning that the contents sold will be hot etc. The road to hell is alleged to be paved with many great intentions.

Not a rant, just my before morning cup of coffee musing...
