Man falls into the sea at Redcar. Then his would be rescuer falls in. Then the couple that tries to rescue them falls in. Then a human chain has to be formed to get the foursome out of the sea.

That's like the story of the villages who fall into the well trying to save a chicken and they all drown, and the chicken eventually climbs out from climbing their corpses.

Highway crash data shows that the crash attenuator equipment had been destroyed in a previous crash, making the impact far more severe than normal and sensors detected that the driver had stopped driving the car and had received multiple warnings that he had done so before crashing and killing Walter Huang, an Apple engineer.
