Well there is one right next to the door so your hope for a lawsuit won't go far

Here's a pair of videos I made earlier for a Facebook group where someone said the handles were hidden and you wouldn't know about them.





Pretty easy to locate and the picture on them explains pretty clearly what they do.

Thank you...I will do that.

I'm sure there's at least one Sleazy Ambulance Chaser waiting in some gutter for a call.

Maybe he didn't panic. Maybe he kept trying to start the car, trying to find out how to open the door or window, etc., and never even dreamed that he was in danger. Maybe he started to get sick from the heat, and didn't recognize it as being dangerous. Maybe he got delirious, and started hallucinating.

When people freeze to death, they often take their clothes off. Not from any kind of panic, but only because they feel hot, from the frostbite, and have diminished brain capacity, which makes them think they need to take their clothes off to not be so hot. The same kind of thing could happen when people die of heat. They might never really understand what's happening to them, because their brain capacity might be reduced before it ever occurs to them to panic.

Geez such a horrible way to go. They said it was a 2007.

Underwhelmed with the sympathy by some of the posters here.
