Fatal Drunken Crash on Cross Island Parkway

fyi: amy koo isnt asian

I posted about the seatbelts, and I was wondering if the kids who were tossed from the car were actually wearing them. If you have on a seatbelt, you won't be tossed. The other kids made it out fine.

Thats all I am saying.

Although this doesn't matter at all, Amy Koo is not Asian she is a white girl from Astoria. I am disgusted at how casually you can discuss a tragedy like this. That girl is someones daughter and no matter who she was hanging out with or what they were doing she did not deserve that. This is not a joke it is real life, maybe if everyone realized how real this is and that it could just as easily happened to them or their families instead of laughing at all the "other people" these things happen to we would have less of these horrible traedies.

I honestly can't believe that one of the kids said "It wasn't enough to get drunk drunk." So it was enough to get you drunk, but not plastered... When it comes down to it, it's just another sad case of a tragedy happening due to people trying to prove something and driving while intoxicated. It could have happened anywhere, but at that turn, with all the other elements thrown into it, makes for some bad news. I honestly wonder where a group of kids, all under 21 except for one if I recall correctly, were going at 12:30am on a Monday night in Queens...and what kind of event that they could possibly get into required them to pregame 2 cups of Bacardi each right before sitting behind the wheel?

First off, Let's stop using the configuration of the turn on the roadway as an "Alternative excuse" here ! This accident was cause by a drunk driver and not the roadway ! I swear I fucking hate you "Ass Wipe"- Shit-Headed" drivers ! Just because you have personal problems doesn't give you all the right to get behind the wheel and cause havoc on the roads ! It's going to get to the point where as the laws will become so stringent that folks that take the privilege of driving will become impaired themselves ! All because of a group of drivers that can't seem to get this one thought through there heads . If your going out to a bar, OR you've been drinking, Do not drive home ! Get a friend too take you there, OR Use Public Transportation ! How simple is that ? Fuckin Retards ! Posted by; "Still Not Amused"

Poster #20 here: The street-racing jerk I worked with...was Asian. So much for all the comments.

The=Their

The race has nothing to do with it. Posting about such inane things takes away from the real issues. Why do the racist posters even bother?

This was a tragedy no matter what the circumstances were.

Before the second sentence, I knew it was a Jen Chung post. Sad.

Now Koo will have the same IQ as all the Spanish kids.

Alternatively, they'll have start calling Koo "Goo"!

I OWN that curve. It is a benchmark curve I use to test a cars handling. i negotiated it in a Mini Cooper S at about 75MPH. I was arrested for DWAI years ago, never drove after drinking again.

Stupid kids, and yes that cute korean girl should not have been messin with the wetback

ms. koo's boyfriend had bravado, that's why she went out with him instead of a mousey mouse type who didn't have the bravado to ask pursuit her.

now her brain is mushy mushy mushie mushie, domo aragato, mr. roboto.

Nappy headed Hispanics should not be allowed to drive. It's in the US constitution's new amendment.

I had a co-worker who used to talk on the phone with his buddies about how crazy they'd been racing their cars. In traffic. I was appalled at how ignorant they were.

THen he was in a crash. Luckily the only people involved in it were he and his girlfriend. They both got hurt but lived.

It was the only thing that put some sense in his head.

Booze or not, what a tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of the deceased and injured.

Little Ms. Koo's boyfriend is (was?) 19 years old. She's 16. Her parents must have been thrilled about that too. Couldn't he go to jail if he diddled her?

"Seatbelts?"

You were of course being sarcastic I hope #14.

that little asian chick Koo's parents must have been like "don't hang out with those spanish kids, They are bad news!" and she was all like "screw you! I wanna party and be cool!" and now she has brain damage and won't be able to walk anymore. Asian Parents are always right.

if people were taught to take a sharp turn at the apex, most crashes could definetly be averted. never hit the brakes on a turn (only before in a straight line) and ease up on throttle... after you pass apex, increase throttle and continue.

Defensive driving should be mandatory for everyone...

Seatbelts?

#6 the Belt Parkway and the Southern State Parkway.

BTW That turn is not that bad even at 50mph. I do it all the time. I guess the booze and bravado played a big roll in the mishap. Sad.

You owning a computer and having access to the intarweb is already tragic, RC.

heck, you don't have to be involved in an accident to be a SUV tragedy. Just owning one is tragic enough.

ah i just love it when a group of people win the Darwin Awards. Brings us oh so much closer to a healthier gene pool we've been dreaming about.

Ugh this is like a replay of a car crash that killed 2 of my friends immediately post high school. Chevy Blazer + "not that much drinking" + treacherous part of the roadway + too much youthful recklessness. I agree with Dave. There's got to be some kind of remote switch you can install in kids/cars when all these things become involved.

"That turn on the Cross Island is brutal. Makes you wonder why they built it that way."

Brutal only if you're playing a game of drunk tag with your cars.

Thousands of cars go through there everyday without people dying.

(sigh)

IMO, this isn't an SUV exclusive tragedy.

I didn't know the Cross island starts at the whitestone expressway? what major thoroughfare does it end at? (north to southwise)

Unfortunately, young people of that age don't even have to be legally drunk to act that stupid. Cars should come standard with disabling kill-switches for teenage drivers when erratic driving is detected.

"It wasn't enough to get drunk drunk."

But it was apparently enough to get dead dead.
