The Lake God keeps asking for wilder and wilder offerings to restrain The Goose Orcs from going on a killing spree through Byrd Park. Shit has gotten out of hand.

Literally, the extreme amount of goose shit makes the entire park a health hazard.

The 7 year crash report history indicates that everything is great and that there is no car in the middle of shields lake.

How is it in the middle and not closer to the edge??

fishmapper t1_j2x3lor wrote

Probably floated for a while until it filled enough to submerge. Cars have lots of air voids and foam in them that would be bouyant.

This is also why you don't drive through water on the road during flood conditions. People think of cars as these super heavy things that should have no trouble fording, but they float a lot easier than you'd expect.

Fjording is what the Vikings did. You must be thinking of forwarding.

I really want to know HOW this happened according to bystanders and the person(s) operating the car/in possession of it. I’m curious about how people tell the story of such an incident to themselves and others regarding control (or lack of it), responsibility, and accountability/blame.

Captain_Tiberius t1_j2xcsgr wrote

Could be a stolen vehicle that was dumped overnight. No bystanders, and the operator would have fled.

Friend works for WRIC and said that the woman was trying to change her tire by the lake when it began rolling down the embankment and into the lake. Sounds like she wasn’t in it which is good

Oof. Imagine bitching about your luck while changing your tire, then this happens.

“Of course my tire goes out. Today of all days. Murphy’s law.”

car starts rolling away

MediocreDriver t1_j2xdu7x wrote

That makes makes more sense at face value than anything else I can come up with. The stolen car-joyride-dump scenario happens often enough, but why drown the car instead of abandoning it somewhere random? Is it just for kicks and/or to ruin any chance of finding evidence?

I have watched so many people put their car up on a scissor jack without the brakes set or the chocks in place, only to drop it and smash up the skirting when they try to break the nuts loose and it rolls.

Enough inertia + slowly floats as it sinks + transmission in neutral = the tires roll it to the lowest point until it stops
