Did you see the clip of her speeding across the ice?
Must have had a bet with someone in the "here hold my Beer" club.

Meh. She was just standing there waiting, so why not?

Well I'm pleased she's been charged with reckless driving, at the very least... because she potentially put rescuers lives at risk, while the only thoughts in her head were to drive across an iced lake, and take selfies...

If she is the result of eons of evolution, we must come from one real dumb ape.

I'm glad I don't have cable. I find watching this very stressful! 1 second this, 1 second that. News broadcasts don't have the same professional quality they used to have. I suppose it's OK for the younger generation as they have no comparison!

She was very fortunate that locals pitched in to help her.

Especially as she didn't seem to mind putting them at risk.

I can't imagine ---she'd have to have one hell of an insurance policy.

The issue is how she got to be there standing and waiting, though. Drugs maybe? Bath salts? Covid stress just got to her?

Maybe it was just the result of being young and impulsive. Most of us did some stupid things when we were young. I know I did.

A very generous attitude. There were certainly moments in my own past that I'm glad weren't broadcasted across the planet. Perhaps this was a one-off moment of extreme foolishness on her part.Maybe it was just the result of being young and impulsive. Most of us did some stupid things when we were young. I know I did.

I‘m glad I wasn’t on camera either but I doubt either one of us would have done something purposely that would destroy our car. If we did, we would have the sense to be ashamed.
I’ll have to find a Canadian site to watch the video.
