I was stuck in a massive flood recently and it is scary to see water rising up in the car. As well as watching huge trash cans floating by. Luckily the water never went over my head just up to my leg. But man I can somewhat relate to the kids in the car. We got out before the doors jammed shut. Thankfully.

[@angelagendreau3586]

This why you should teach your children their accurate address. Minutes count. Playing armchair quarterback, I was screaming at the TV for her to get out of the water and help him on the phone. Though as a mom myself, I'm not sure what I would do in her shoes.

How hard is it to ask the child "do you see the car and mom at this moment?" If answer is yes, then the lake is withing eye-shot of the house he is calling from and you have a location where to send rescue. Honestly...

[@judethaddeus9856]

Who said it was difficult at all????? Honestly, since you seem to know so much why don’t you become an EMT or police officer so you can ask the right questions all the time?

[@ytafan4068]

Seriously. The kid said over and over again that he was at his home, and he saw the car go into the lake with his little sisters still inside. Why are they asking him if he's at a store? Especially if their system got the address from where he's calling.

[@101Volts]

Easy to say when you're not panicking and are just viewing it without worrying. Yeah, the window was open. She was trying to get in, but try getting in if you're in "the heat of the battle" of worrying yourself a terrible amount.

[@justinlynch3]

Some cars has weak transmissions, but bad brakes is almost always a sign of neglect. However the kid said they was living in a trailer home, so after bills and feeding 3 kids, I highly doubt the woman had much money if anything at all left over to spend in car repair. Thing is though while car repair isn't on the top of most peoples priories, it is important. A car that's not taken care of could kill you one day.

[@billsgarage6453]

My mom had the same car only a bit newer and I started it when I was 5 with out when keys in it. These old Chevys run forever but you beat em they'll beat you back in a worst way.

[@101Volts]

This is a re-enactment, so I can't say what the actual car was. If it was a G.M. like in this episode, the 1977 - 1990 G.M. Station Wagons are known to have somewhat weak transmissions. I had an 84 Caprice Sedan, it got wrecked one day. The transmission was fine until then.

[@tonipaola1764]

[@katiejohnston988]

Wow, those neighbors saved those two baby girls’ lives. I wonder if they remained close with them as they got older and heard the stories of how they rescued them from a sinking car like that. Tbh, this was kind of just a freak accident. The mother should not have left the babies in a running car, but at least she admitted her mistake right away. Plus, it wasn’t like she left them in the car in a parking lot or something. It was right in their front yard and she probably just got distracted for a second. Probably what she could have done was have the son go get her whatever it was she’d forgotten. But it may have been something that he may not have been able to get on his own. She was a single mom and the only adult in the house with three children, certainly cannot be easy.

[@CrippledMerc]

This happened about 20 minutes from my parents house less than a month before I was born. I asked my mom about it but she doesn’t remember reading or hearing anything about it. Glad those kiddos were saved and didn’t have any injuries or anything as a result. There was another similar situation many years back, maybe 6-8 years if I had to guess, where a mentally ill mother drive her minivan into the water out near Galveston. She had locked the kids in the car with her but once the water started to fill the van she bailed out and left the kids. Thankfully some bystanders, including my grandpa, saw it all happen and went to try to get the kids out. If I remember correctly they ended up either getting one of the kids to roll down a window or they broke one of the windows out and were able to get the kids out unharmed. Crazy stuff.

[@theblindredneck747]

This episode give me nightmares, still scares me to this day. This is why now they put shift interlock on modern cars that they can’t get accidentally knocked into gear.

[@chrislemaster2695]

These cars from the late 70's era had a problem with popping out of gear when in park for no reason when engine is running, and cars didn't have the apply to brake feature until 1991.

Okay 3 things: 1. How the hell did she left the car with the 2 children in the car. 2. She should've turned off the car and put on the parking break 3. Babies don't understand things so they couldn't unlock the door.

[@extreme-cm8hb]

I know a lot of people in the late 80s, early 90s that used to do this type of stuff. It seemed to be quite common - things we would never do now was common back then. They didn't have the same knowledge. I know it must sound ridiculous, what I've just said. I was born in the early 80s, and as a small kid, I was left in the car alone by my parents or grandparents when they'd go into a store. Nothing was wrong with that practice back then. When I was 6, I was watching babies younger than me, babysitting, although adults were around but not close by. I see this type of stuff on rescue 911 quite often. Nowadays, if you leave a small kid alone in the car you could get arrested. Now it's considered dangerous.

That's why it's best to have a second set of keys in the house or under the vehicle in a magnet box, with a lock code. I keep my second car key locked in a magnet box underneath the car all the time. I had to get that key to get my original car key out of the car; accidentally locked it inside the car a few times. I keep other keys in that magnet lock box, too.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Yet another lesson of not to leave the keys in the car or leave it running when small children are around. I still like the old wagons over mini vans any day. This is where power door locks work against you and the water will have disabled them and trapped those kids. Apparently they didn't have an enhanced 911 system or they would have been able to pinpoint the location (Conroe is a town just north of Houston) I have no kids but love it when one is the man of the house as this one was.

[@DarkVoidIII]

@@svetlanikolova7673 That might not have helped anything, the narrator said "Subsequently, the car's transmission and brakes were found to be bad." meaning that if they had the car properly serviced, these problems might have been found and fixed by a mechanic. Unfortunately we may never know why the car's transmission and brakes were bad, but they were what caused this tragedy. Brake failure alone could have caused the car to start rolling, the transmission might not have had anything to do with it unless it had been left in an incorrect position, such as neutral.

Why

[@theblindredneck747]

You’re all forgetting, this Took place 28 years ago when this was common practice. What I don’t understand is why the kids of today have to be mollycoddled and bubble wrapped and protected from every instance of danger. Many of us who are 25 and older were left alone in running vehicles and we learned not to touch things why can’t the kids of today learn the same things. I know that in this case it was because of mechanical failure why the car ended up in the lake. But I’m sick of all this crap that the kids of today can’t learn the same lessons that we learned 25/30 years ago, because some big shot Child professional says it’s not right.

[@CEO100able]

How did the car steer left on its own? That was weird. They should have had a solid, metal fence on that one side of the pond to prevent this from happening. If the mother sent the junky car to the junkyard, how did they retrieve it? I assume they used a crane to pull it out of the water (just like what happened in one other segment where a female teenager was trying to practice driving but crashed her mother's SUV into a river). What about the items that were inside the car? Were they retrieved at all, or did they lose them after the car sank?

[@billsgarage6453]

Having friends in the auto salvage business my guess would be from experience with them is they used a flat bed wrecked had a dive team hook the car up and they pulled it out. Also owning a flood car at one point it probably was an insurance write off then junked. The car was probably at least 20 years old at the time this was filmed so it wasn't worth anything back then

And dosen't need to bother with all those tiny details,he probably figured that the adults could fill in the blanks.

those cars were never equipped with that feature until their redesign of the 1991 Buick Park Avenue 1991 Oldsmobile 98 1992 Buick Lesabre and every GM after 1992 got the message APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT. In all 1991 and newer gm cars had a Neutral Safety Switch as standard so the car could not be popped out of gear without applying the brake or disabling the switch, automatic locks as you put into drive did not engage till about 10 mph in gm and Chrysler vehicles and this didn't become a mains stay for safety until 1992 my base 1991 Dodge Spirit had these features

[@101Volts]

Some states still don't require inspections at all, maybe you know but just for the record it's still that way in 2016.

[@Hammerhead547]

Those old GM full sized models were infamous for being riddled with manufacturing defects that ranged from minor annoyances (air leaks due to bad seals) to life threatening (engines that would spontaiously burst into flames, transmissions that jumped out of park), in this case it was a defect within the transmission that allowed the torque converter to trip the shift mechanism and put the car into gear. The older they got the worse the problems got especially if they weren't maintained properly.

[@101Volts]

Funny, my 84 Caprice never had big problems up until Father hit a telephone pole in it (and survived.) The car was however a demonstration car for a dealership so maybe G.M. put extra effort into it. OTOH, I drive an 01 Impala with cooling system issues.

When trapped in a sinking vehicle: 1. Don't panic 2. Remove your headrest. 3.free the youngest occupants from their seats if they can't free themselves. 4. Do not roll down windows,smash the windshield. 5. Use the two metal prongs on the bottom of your headrest to smash the back window of your car.(that's what they are there for!) 6. Grab the going eat occupant and swim to safety 7 if safe, go back to free the rest. If not safe, you're stuffed. Teach kids and yourself how to be safe, even if you don't think it'll ever happen.

It might be worth a shot but as it was running when it went in I wonder what extent the engine was damaged if at all (which I expect it was.)

I don't get how the car began rolling. It sounded like it went into gear but when they showed the inside of the car again, the gearshift looked to be still in park

[@101Volts]

William Shatner said near the end (12:36) "The car's transmission and brakes were found to be bad." So, the car literally went out of park and into drive while the gear-shift was still in park. Whether she had the emergency brake on or not, I don't know.

the transmission and brakes were bad it switched into gear by itself

[@theblindredneck747]

From stories I’ve heard it wasn’t uncommon for automatic transmissions to slip into gear.

Some help 911 was. JC. Those kids would be fuckin dead if it weren't for neighbours. Like, even though you couldn't get a clear idea of where the water was the boy was describing what was happening so CLEARLY he could see what was going on......THUS....going to the boy would bring you to the water.
