    Amy Stiner and Melissa Moyer died after they drove into the Atlantic Ocean

    http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013...off-maine?lite

    Two lost hikers who had just been rescued during a driving rainstorm in a Maine state park died after they took a wrong turn and drove their van into the Atlantic Ocean, authorities said Wednesday.

    Lt. Travis Willey / Washington County Sheriff's Department via AP

    Rescue diver Travis Preston, a Jonesboro, Maine, firefighter, hooks up a minivan in the water on the boat ramp at the scene of a double fatal accident Tuesday evening July 23, 2013, in Roque Bluffs, Maine.

    The women ? identified as Amy Stiner of Machias, Maine, who was five months pregnant, and Melissa Moyer of Sunbury, Pa. ? were found dead in the back of the van about 175 feet from shore in Pond Cove near Roque Bluffs State Park on Tuesday night, the Washington County Sheriff's Department said.

    Their dog was also dead, the sheriff's department said.

    According to the sheriff's report, the women got lost while hiking in the park about 9 p.m. ET in heavy wind and rain. A member of a local search rescue service found the women and their dog, and state wildlife wardens drove them back to their van.

    About an hour later, the Warden Service got a call that the women had driven their car into the water about a mile from where they had last been seen, the sheriff's report said.

    The Portland Press-Herald reported that the call came from the women themselves, who managed to report that the van was filling with water before their cellphone went dead.

    Search teams found the van underwater about 175 feet off a boat ramp at Pond Cove.

    "The end of the road becomes the boat landing, and they just weren't familiar with it," Sheriff Donnie Smith told the Press-Herald. "It was foggy and rainy, and they literally drove off the boat landing right into the water."

    Smith told the newspaper that the van likely was found so far from shore because it floated for a while before sinking. The women were in the back seat because the front of the van would have sunk first and the women would have retreated to the back, he said.

    When people panic, they do stupid shit.

    Im not relaly surprised. There was a story on one time and it was a woman who was in her car and it was going underwater and she couldnt get loose to get out simply because her mind was racing so much that she didnt think to undo her seatbelt.


    Her SEATBELT. I think the hrdest part tho is that they say that if you are ever in a situation that you are in a submerged car that you have to wait until the car fills up before you can really do much.

    I dunno. This is one of my worst fears ever.

    Ditto. How terrifying! Plus drowning would suck!

    But both of them?? Calling 911, and just waiting for the water to fill up the car?? I just can't. They got themselves stuck before they drove off the pier and then didn't get out of the car.

    Being pregnant, you would think that saving your life would seem kind of fucking important.

    Someone started a thread on this yesterday, FYI. My first thought when reading it was the same. If that were me, I wouldn't bother calling anyone, I would spend every second I had trying to get the hell out of there!

    I heard that if the windows and lock controls are electric they won't work under water. So if the doors are locked you are screwed I had also heard the doors won't open under water because of the pressure surrounding the car. I think they make a stick/billy club that you can specifically use to break a window while under water.

    My gut reaction would be bust out the back windshield. Unless they had nothing.

    To everyone talking about how stupid these women were for not kicking out a window, how do you know they didn't try? You try kicking out a window in a van that is partially submerged sometime...I doubt it's possible. And thank you Angie for pointing out that the electric controls for unlocking the doors and rolling down the windows would not work under water, and even if the doors were unlocked, you can't push a car door open against the water pressure. FFS people...

    FYI, I never said they were stupid or implied they were. All I said was, my first thought when reading this was I wouldn't bother with a phone at all. Just my thought, is all.

    If anyone is stupid, it's me, because I apparently suck at replying to quotes.
