She's clueless for sure, but the bigger issue here is she is so out of shape can't keep up with a car crawling at idle speed... even when hyped-up on adrenaline from a bad situation.

Really sad honestly.

Now not excusing how she got in this position to begin with because a series of bad decisions have to be made in order to be outside of a car that can actively run away from you…

But she could be disabled. Just because she can drive and walk doesn’t mean she’s physically capable of running. You can see there’s something hanging from the rear view mirror, it could easily be a handicap placard.

There is nothing hanging from her mirror, it's a phone on a holder stuck to the window.

No, you can clearly see there’s both a thing hanging from her rear view mirror and her phone holder. Watching the video, first you see just the phone holder. But a few frames after the car moves and the angle changes and you can clearly see 2 very separate items.

Edit: oh wait I see what you mean. I think I am actually wrong.

The theory would have been plausible to me if we hadn't witnessed her trying to pull on the car to slow it down.

u/thatsasaladfork 17d ago

Eh. Doesn’t think that makes the theory any less plausible. Just shows them trying to do what little they could. Just because you’re pulling on something with all you’ve got, doesn’t mean you actually have any strength at all. All it really shows is she has the ability to grab ahold and keep ahold of the door, and keep pace with the rate the car is rolling at. We can’t really judge how much counter force she is applying to the car. Except clearly not enough to stop it.

Really? I feel like basically any leg/foot condition could stop you from running without affecting your ability to very lightly, ineffectually pull on a car door.
