Angela Chao: Shipping billionaire intoxicated when she drowned in Tesla, police report shows

That story is just plumb weird.

I wonder if she literally thought she had no means of escape and was just resigned to her fate. I don't believe I'd be that calm in that situation, and I don't think I'd give up while there was air in the car.

I am also presuming that the drive from guest house to the main house was on private roads, or else she was planning to intentionally drive drunk on public roads to get back to her house.

I also imagine her friends were just as intoxicated as she was, because if I were outside the car, I'd be trying a lot harder to find a way inside. Just plumb weird indeed.
