car crash news articles image
Vivian
Could you please guide me to some news articles or online articles explaining incidents where TV and movies have affected someone or a group of people. It can be a good affect or a bad one.
Like I remember one article explaining that the movie "Fast and Furious" caused tons of teens to get in car crashes trying out what the movie held.
Thanks!
Answer
There have been tons of studies trying to prove one way or the other. The methodology has always been flawed. The most rigorous, scientific test showed that such movies do have some effect, but not enough to actually influence a person's behavior more than what they'd normally do.

If a car plunges off of a bridge into water what is the rate of survival?
Kelly Lass
I'm wanting to know about the math and science.... Is there a certain height of a bridge that will lessen the impact of the crash? I know that many factors will contribute to surviving something like this. Also, what is the primary cause of death in car crashes into water? If the car is still completely in tact is the crash fatal due because of the impact? I can't find any articles that explain this... Other than news stories of actual events.;)
Please, no rude or condescending answers. Thanks!
Answer
Car crashes into water are so rare that I am not sure that they can compute a statistically valid "primary" cause of death.
Crashes into water can be roughly divided into three categories:
a. Shallow water. Water does not stop car; car impacts the bottom. Passengers do not go underwater. Situation is the same as if there was no water and the car just hit the ground. As in any other crash, fatalities are typically from head injury or blunt force trauma.
b. Deep water, person wearing seat belt. Water softens the impact, car floats for awhile. Seat belt prevents severe head impact, so person remains conscious and can get out of car before it sinks. Person often lives.
c. Deep water, person not wearing seat belt. Person hits dead, gets knocked out. Car eventually fills with water and sinks. Person drowns.
