Mercedes crashes into Sg river

[Mockngbrd]

Nowadays, convertible got anti-roll bar de. So when flipped, wont kill the occupants.

won't kill but the convertible structure would most likely be damaged from impact and no more water-tight.

been thinking.. could the airbags had inhibited rescue in this case?

[Maxus-MIFA9]

That guy who heard the crash and saw the car in the river sinking, could ran 20m to the police post (as reported) to informed the policemen on duty there .....

 

If he reversed the scenario & ran to the crash site and jump in. Is it possible that he could at least save one life or both ...

[Chickenfarm]

no la.. they gave me my car model 1 (CLA)

 

there is 2 holes for me to click to the floor. but coz i put the original floor mat underneath so it cannot click and the floor mat will move around sometime.

 

Just mocking you lah.

Just use the 3 M and discard the original lah...safety more important. Besides, the original mat is a dust trapper...even vacuum also doesn't help.

 

Be safe and not sorry bro

[Piyopico]

In this situation, no need to f**k SCDF

 

by the time they come it is too late already

 

for submerged vehicle, if the passer by did not help, SCDF 5-10 mins later is just to retrieve the bodies

 

And for passer by, 9pm at night , car submerged means see nuts in the water - normal aunty/uncle would not go in the water.

 

I would like to think that i would have tried, but doors probably autolocked, and breaking glass under water?

plus car was upside down, and you have 1-2 mins to do it...

 

what can you say.........

With car submerged, airbag activated that pushes both the bodies to the seat plus a locked door....... Most important, in the dark. A person drowns within 2 minutes, much faster if you panic and take in water.

 

Seriously, the best rescue team also have next to zero chance.

 

The frailty of life. Gives you great perspective.

Will need tons of composure to do this. 

Even with this knowledge, when emergency strikes, will likely freak out (for many).

 

When Emergency strikes ... always think what to do next  and not keep thinking of what had happened.  

 

 

U need to spend more time with dangerous people ......... 

[Byteslurve]

Omg just realised that its the wife and daughter of my car workshop..

R.I.P to both

[Angcheek]

Never been to this part of S'pore before. Dont even know this shopping mall exists.

 

actually that building nothing much to shop . Maybe just coldstorage

confirmed break your leg if you jump down onto a shallow water      i jump into a 3 feet pool bottom down also kena slam until very pain 

 

[Angcheek]

Will doors be locked if electronics conked out due to water?

 

you try remove your batt and open ur car door     

[Coltplussport]

C&C gave free 3D floor mat. These floor mat are nice and thick. However, when used together with the original floor mat, it is too thick and and will stuck on top of the accelerator. it happen to me at least 2 to 3 times. I have to step on the brakes ( while the accelerator is still reving) and manually pull the mat down. I guess this might be what had happen.

 

2ndly, from 1 of the photos i saw, the side curtain airbag of the car is deployed. Most prob the ladies was knock unconscious or the side curtain airbag was blocking them from escaping.

 

RIP to both of them

I would say the original car mat is usually the best. The worst are those 3M car mat or likes, especially when they don't fit too well.

 

For me, an addition layer of car mat is very very dangerous, the car mat could curl up in front and restrict your brake pedal.

confirmed break your leg if you jump down onto a shallow water      i jump into a 3 feet pool bottom down also kena slam until very pain 

 

 

 

 

Jump this way sure wont break leg . I guarantee 100% 

 

I think in car, put hammer, put scissors

 

there is already such a tool avail for breaking the car window ... 

[keanie]

Maybe slippers got trapped at the pedal or carpet? Can't rule out this possibility

Is a possibility too. I got a colleague, happen to be lady too. Her sandal got caught on d accelerator she crashed into a heavy vehicle. d car damage was very bad but luckily she was ok.

[Nolicense]

RIP to the mother and daughter.

 

This accident was very bizarre. My assumption is that ladies are very unlikely to drive round a bend at obscene speed. To drive into the bush, bang through the barriers and into the canal need a certain speed. They have also managed to maneuver out of the carpark, so the steering and the brakes should be alright.

 

Based on the CCTV video, they were both walking happily and carrying groceries in the carpark. I don't think these are signs of suicide.

 

Foul play?

Not likely.

Maybe panic as the acceleration pedal step by mistake. same as the JB case the woman drive into the sea?

[Yeobt]

i'm still driving a car with no remote central locking and is not auto locked.

i using key to unlock and lock. very old skool man.

'It went straight into the railings and literally went straight to the bottom.

'A middle aged couple in the street nearby were really traumatised by what they had seen.

'Loads of emergency services then raced down to the scene - I've never seen so many police cars and ambulances in quick succession.

'There's been a few cars which have gone in the river in the past 10 or 15 years we've been here, but none as bad as this.
