Chao, the billionaire former CEO of dry bulk shipping giant Foremost Group, tragically died at the age of 50 on Feb. 10 after accidentally backing her car into the pond making a three-point turn.
See, now that is the type of information that would have been useful in the article. I don’t care that the property “included horse stables, a swimming pool and a 10-bedroom guesthouse”. I care how somebody got trapped in their car.
I was wondering myself why her net worth is an important part of the story. Why do we need to know her husband’s net worth in a story about her dying in a pond?
And this is why you carry a window breaker in your car if you live anywhere this might potentially happen. Equalizing pressure by breaking the shit out of your window (preferably the windshield so you have a larger area of escape) is not IDEAL, but it’ll do in a pinch.

Thanks for sharing.

because your net worth determines your value as a living being, silly!
The emergency opening on both front doors are purely mechanical though.

Front doors have always had mechanical latch releases. Rear doors on some models do not have mechanical releases.

Do not try to go through Front the windshield, it’s super specialized layered glass with a thick plastic center.
