1. Send her the bill for the rescue and environmental damage.

Grind up her phone.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Either she was very confident she was going to get pulled out, or....

she thought it was her last moments of life.

[bottomofthehill]

3. Fucking moron

Not self confident, selfish. She put others in danger because of her stupidity.

[BlackSkimmer]

4. I can't even think of a comment.

Wow.

[FreepFryer]

5. Drugs (Nt)

[LiberatedUSA]

6. Don't Look Up becomes even more spot on. N/t

[BlackSkimmer]

7. Her clothes don't even look wet. How did she get out of the car without getting wet?

What a nutcase.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Good point. Maybe she staged the whole thing.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.

[BlackSkimmer]

14. Lol, I know, but everyone would have to be in on it.

And the rescuers did not seem pleased.

I guess she’s just agile. I wouldn’t want to balance on my Outback even in the driveway, much less as it floated in water!

[Irish_Dem]

15. Maybe it is the white entitled syndrome. They are immune from bad things happening to them.

Right, I would be soaking wet getting out of the submerged car. And if I tried to stand up on the hood of the car I would fall in the water and drown.

[BlackSkimmer]

16. Lmao! Same here!

If I managed to get on top of the car, I’d be on all fours holding on for dear life.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Right she is showing no fear at all in a life threatening situation.

All very odd. Of course crouching down and holding on would be a survival strategy.

[BlackSkimmer]

25. I'm a good swimmer, but that picture terrifies me.

With those boots and a coat on?

No doubt she’s a hero to her social media friends.

[John Ludi]

8. That car sunk faster

than my hopes for the future.

[Midnight Writer]

9. A star is born!

"I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!"

She'll probably run for Congress. "Freedom!"

[malaise]

11. You nailed it

These folks will do anything for one minute in the limelight

[tblue37]

19. It's in Canada.

[KS Toronado]

10. She now owns a "Yellow Submarine"

[Ilsa]

33. Good one! 👍 nt

[Irish_Dem]

12. For the love of God. People have become detached from reality.

I guess the US population feels immune from bad things happening to them.
To the point they are foolish.

She is in a life threatening emergency and instead of trying to figure out an escape plan she is taking selfies.

[tblue37]

20. It's in Canada.

[Irish_Dem]

22. I missed that part. Maybe the white entitlement syndrome has migrated to Canada.

[Ms. Toad]

17. Any explanation for why she was driving on the river? n/t

[tblue37]

21. For the lulz.

[Ms. Toad]

23. I wouldn't be surprised -

But I haven't found anything which offers any explanation.

[tblue37]

26. The video of her speeding down the river sure looks like it's just a thrill ride.

[Ms. Toad]

30. It does,

and it doesn't look like she is trying to brake - not seeing the car spin, slow down, etc.

But you'd think if she was just driving on the river for the heck of it, one of the articles would have commented on it.

[area51]

24. With that level of intelligence she has to be a Trump humper. n/t

[tblue37]

27. In Canada they no doubt have RW Trump fans, but she's young, so I doubt she follows US politics.

[NoMoreRepugs]

28. Maybe there needs to be an addition to the "responses" list -

fight, flight and “let me show everyone how stupid I am?” - just a suggestion…….

[Emile]

31. You would think the ice would be thicker in Ottawa.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. Rivers don't freeze as easily as lakes.

But, I'm guessing the ice was almost as thick as that woman's skull.

[Ilsa]

34. More fun: watching her reaction when she opens

the denial of claim letter from her insurance company. (I can only assume they'd deny it.)

[Wingus Dingus]

35. She's on drugs or mentally not there--

watch her demeanor after they pull her in on the kayak. They have to tell her to walk away from the river and the car.

[chowder66]

36. She was smiling when they rescued her and she said that was fun and she'd do it again.

Interview with a guy that recued her.

He had to walk away because of how happy she was with what she did. On the Manotick facebook they said she never said thank you to anyone.

[demmiblue]

37. Whoa!

I just listened to the interview (thanks for the link).

Something is going on with this woman.

[struggle4progress]

38. "... she may have driven north on the river from Kemptville, 30 kilometres away ...

Ottawa paramedics also went to the scene, but said the lone occupant of the vehicle did not want to be assessed, and police said the driver was not injured ... Police said the driver was charged with one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle ..."
