"The Crash" is Getting Excellent Reviews

Unbeknownst to me, I happened upon it the first night it was shown. It was so good that I was spellbound. It's on Netflix.

Because of work, I had to watch it in sections, and I could not wait to get back to viewing it.

What fascinates me so much about it is the young woman is such a nutcase and no one seems to do anything about it. When you don't do anything about such a serious mental problem, you end up with a tragedy, and that is what happened when she drove a car with her boyfriend and one other friend into a building at 100 mph.

She survived but the other 2 did not.

Watch some of the most pathetic parents in history as they try to explain their daughter's crime away.

Here's an article that is more in depth:

After I watched it, I looked for reviews and found many praising this doc. I also found reader comments that spoke highly of it, too.

I didn't think it would hold my attention, as the teen-age girl jabber is annoying as all get out, but she is certifiably nuts.

and thought it was an interesting examination of what happened in that crash. Yes, those parents of the girl who decided to kill her friends by crashing into a wall at 100 mph were irresponsible idiots to the max. A worthwhile watch.
