RIP , Trucks don't fall in a pond they get driven in there by incompetent drivers.

So upon arrival they could not jump in and break out a window and try to rescue the poor woman, instead they awaited a crane.  Now I know that life is truly not viewed as being precious here as seen by the amounts paid to kill folks, but my god saving some ones life is a human thing to do.....instead of stranding around videoing it on your stupid phone...
