How the heck does someone even get in to that position? Did the water come up that fast while the driver was sitting at a red light, or something? Did the driver just drive in to water that deep? If so, then why?

I'm really not trying to be shitty, critical or overly cynical and judgmental - but I an just dying of curiosity about the moments that led up to these people getting trapped. In some of these cases, it seems like they plenty of opportunity to avoid getting in to these pickles.
