I was not there, so I will never know what actually transpired between driver and passengers. But it does puzzle me how the driver could exit (twice) and the passengers could not. I don't know what the dynamics at the moment, but some thoughts just race through my mind:
My thoughts. Scenario 1:
"Honey, I need to pull over, looks like we have a problem with one of the tires"
"Do we REALLY have to pull over. Really! This will just put a crimp in our plans!"
"Yes, this will just take a moment."...
"Honey, you better get out of the camper, looks like the tire is on fire."
"Oh just get the fire extinguisher. I'm laying her sleeping and don't want to be bothered with YOUR problem!"....
"Honey, it's worse now, you better get out!"
"No dear, I know you have it under control. Why are you disturbing my beauty sleep anyway!"
My thoughts: Scenario 2:
"OMG! Probme with the front tire. I see smoke. OH Crap! A new tire is going to cost ME about $300! How am I going to pay for that. Well, I guess I better pull over and see the damage!"
"OMG! The darn tire is on fire! Quick, get my fire extinguisher! This doesn't look good. If it spreads, I'll losse the entire rig!"
"OMG! Extinguisher 1 did not work. Now, extinguisher 2 is going to cost me even more! Looks like the whole thing is now in flames! I wonder if my insurance is paid up to the moment. I wonder if they will reimburse me what I still owe on my loan. I wonder if I can claim this on my income tax."
"OMG, the whole thing is in flames... What ....?"
"Someone is breaking out my back window. Who the he** is he what the he** is he doing!..."
"OMG! I forgot about my family back there!"
I really hope either one of these 2 is not the way it actually went down. Still, something is simply not right in this story!
