Billionaire Dies After Accidentally Backing Tesla Into Pond

- The sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, billionaire businesswoman Angela Chao, lost her life after backing her Tesla into a pond. Chao was attempting to make a three-point turn at her ranch when she reportedly put her car in reverse instead of drive. It sent the vehicle into a pond on her property. Police say Chao called friends for help, and one jumped into the pond to attempt to rescue her but was unable to break the Tesla's windows. Inside Edition’s Steven Fabian has more.
Bro, why is every politicians' family member a billionaire.....
Every?
Hyperbole is a thing of beauty.
Because nepotism
Because they write the tax laws and have the power to convince people that one day, you'll be a billionaire and join their friend group because they really like you and all they need is your vote. Easy thing to do with money.
Insider trading ;)
imagine being a billionaire just to die like that, yikes
a billionaire woman. thats life on ultra blessed mode. gone in an instant.
what does being a billionaire have to do with that way to die?
Wealth has nothing to do with basic driving aptitude. She had other similar incidents (reportedly) and obviously had no biz behind the wheel, luckily she 'quit' before killing innocents.
Definitely NOT buying a Tesla... ever.
@@blackcherry6877it was obviously Elon
It was confirmed today that she was drunk when she drove her car into a pond. Again to all. Don't drink and drive.
One of the traps money 💰 bring is drinking 🍸
And they didn't mention what time nither
Pffft. I drink and drive just fine, it's the 1% who ruin it for the rest of us.
Don't drive wasted drunk... I'd said better off 👌

Wow. Makes sense now
wow and driving a super car ? nuts.
idk for you but i dint know tesla was super car@@X862go
bro nobody should have a road car that does zero to 60 in 2 seconds it makes no sense. I mean you can't even go 60 on most roads. you have to be on a highway.
@@X862go nobody cares. you’re only saying this because your car is slow. the problem isn’t the car, it’s the person behind the wheel.
If you call 911 in a situation like this, you're calling to have them retrieve your body, not save your life.
Damn that's kinda cool
Same thing in a home invasion
I mean, it would work depending on how fast the car is filling up, maybe they can tow her out before she drowns.
yeah will just get a tow truck there and ready to tow in under 3 minutes@@arcguardian
Correct they failed to bring long cable and they were refusing to pull car out as they might get electrocuted case it was an electric car. I am sure an investigation will be done on such a sloppy job.
None of the emergency service could break the Window!!! 😮😮😮😵😵😥😥😥😥
Calling 911 or a friend while sinking in a car is like calling someone to bring a parachute while you fall from the 50th floor

Why would TESLA comment on anything? I bet you the best they can offer is "Condolences to her and family.". Obviously, she made a grave mistake, nothing more.
I mean they should say WE MIGHT add physical changing gears because I just think changing gears on a screen is stupid like in this scenario where instead of just tapping a button you physically look down to see what gear your in
i mean, how many times a day do you need to use autocorrect or backspace because you typed the wrong letter, for me it’s a lot… now think that every time your finger slipped like that, it sent your car charging in a random direction …. just saying maybe not EVERYTHING on a car needs to be digital

Should always be an option to manually roll down the windows
Even if you drive a car with manual windows, once the water reaches the window the pressure from the water will prevent you from rolling them down, that was actually tested by "mythbuster".

The irony is that she's the CEO of a trans-oceanic shipping company, but she died in her pond while transporting herself. Her sister was also the secretary of...transportation. 😓 She made an eight-minute call when the car went over a limestone wall. She was three times over the legal alcohol blood level after a party. How come she didn't lower the window? A friend paddled out in a canoe, but couldn't get in until firefighters pried open the back door.
roflmao , the irony !
While transporting herself….
Failing a three point turn is a clear idiom. Obviously she failed to sail her foreign flagged Tesla back to its country of origin before trying to come back to American soil. She was then ended by Action Jones. Who was said to be screaming CABOTAGE! CABOTAGE! CABOTAGE! CABOTAGE! while ending her.

My instinct would never be to call 911 who is going to take 20 minutes to get there when this is a 30 second situation
Yeah, that makes sense, but maybe people initially underestimate how quickly the car will sink. Or maybe they think they're in shallow water. I dunno.

Sounds Suspicious
Lol no it doesn't

Everything sound suspicious to you guys
Doesnt sound suspicious at all. She was an Asian woman, driving a car. Im surprised she lived as long as she did.
Why is she calling her friends when she should be trying to save her own life
For the same reason she takes pics of her lunch.
It's what the helpless and hapless do.
Thats what billionaires do: let others do the work for them.
Because she's drunk af.
She probably took a selfie as well
Save yourself first before calling 911 to save you.
🤣🤣🤣
She didn't even call 911. She called her friends to tell them how she ended up in the pond.
Yea because they'll keep on asking questions. Like how cold is the water 😅
he said it right " if you pick up the phone then you're basically dead " lmfao
What if she can't swim I mean logically think about it half of the world will r.i.p in a pond which is deep
She was drunk. Step one: Don't drink and drive.

she was a normal 50 year old lady, she did nothing but screamed, guaranteed.
@@Redmanticore yea, as if somebody hear
It always amazes me how someone can be so clever and wise to have accumulated a billion dollars but can't work out which pedal does what when there's only 2 to get confused with. 🤯
This whole situation is to weird, and it would only make sense if she was drunk or high. She crashed in a pond on her own property, and her first instinct wasn’t to open the door or roll the window down? I would only call 911 as a last ditch effort if I couldn’t get out. She’s someone with big political ties and influence so I could easily see how her death would benefit someone. This all seems to weird.
Some people don't know better. I don't know how some people manage to cross the street.
imagine being in a computerized car where they can shift the car, lock all the doors and windows and drive the car remotely. its like a high tech assassination

@@shawnryan2197I just read into it... Sounds like a plot to an action movie. Crazy stuff.
Saved me typing
I remember the days you could just roll the windows down without pressing any button and this could work even if the car is at the bottom of the ocean.
I don’t know about that, the pressure would be too high to roll it down
@@emryborge7027 I am obviously not talking about the part of the ocean where your car turns into a tin can.
Lol, there's always a disadvantage when it comes to technology! I thought the same thing too. Plus, the dashboard is nothing but a big computer screen with apps that didn't help.
I thought the same...
The electric window will work for a while, so you use it instead of talking on your phone. It is not the time ! If you can't open the window, just wait until the car fills up with water and then it will open , when the pressure is equal on both sides. Keep your face close to the top of the car, so you can breathe. It is do-able, if you don't freak out and start chocking on the water. It's probably what she did.

@@konradrubin1964Hmm, well generally not in English. Britain used to use the long billion like a lot of other places, but now uses the short American billion. So now billion in English is now pretty much universally 1 with 9 zeros instead of 12. I'm not a fan of the short billion personally, but that's it's current meaning in English 🤷🏻♂️
The first thing you do when you enter the water is roll your window down asap.
Which in modern cars, EV or otherwise, is pretty much impossible. As soon as that car hits the water, every electrical system will likely be shorted. AFAIK door locks *should* unlock on impact in which case your best bet is waiting calmly until the car fills, then push the door open.While the car has air the water pressure will make opening the door impossible. Breaking laminated windows needs a hammer then leverage to kick out the glass.
Ok. You watched the video and learned like we did? 😂 😂
@@stevepy6758 I read somewhere you still have a few minutes even in an ev to open the windows in a submerged car. Also read modern laminated car windows don't break anymore with a hammer unless you take several hard swings.
@@stevepy6758 Try re watching the video so you learn that even though the car is in water, electrical components work for 30-60 seconds
@@stevemoore-nx8cq No, that was from info from a "what to do" scenario ages ago if you could not roll down windows back in the 90's when power windows were getting common. Cars didn't come with glass hammers then. Question is how many modern models with electronic locks, especially now that most auto-lock, will unlock if they lose power or have proper manual unlocks?? Car designers do stupid things, like at least one model I drove that attached seatbelt spools to the door rather than the frame. (If that door pops open the passenger slides right out) Demonstrated that to a driving instructor in a parking lot.

Driving a car into a POND is not going to work 99% of the time. She died because of stupid mistakes like calling for help and not opening the windows instantly. If someone wanted her dead via hacking her Tesla, a better method would be to steer the car into incoming traffic at high speeds. A much more certain outcome.

Had to be a HIT right
Imagine being a billionaire and not having a chauffeur or even an uber when you're drunk.
God has a great sense of humor.
Everyone makes fun of my hand crank windows on my truck.
They would not actually help you either. There is so much pressure pushing the window against the frame the crank isn't enough. Myth busters tested this years ago. You either break the window or wait until the pressure equalizes and then open the door and swim out. There really aren't other options, assuming you don't get the window/door open within seconds of the car hitting the water.
@@JathraDH what do you expect from a truck driver? Subpar intelligence is kinda standard with their kind
@@JathraDH- You can roll down the window right away before the pressure hits it in case the power windows don’t work. I know the guy said they’ll work for 30 seconds to 60 seconds, but I don’t know if that’s true.
Also if memory serves correctly, you could wait until your car fills up with water and then roll down your window because the pressure is equalized. So wow that would be incredibly scary it’s at least Plan B.
Never understand why they don't make a modern combo: Automatic window with a switch that allows you to use an old fashioned hand crank. Your truck is still sexy AF especially when you're heading into water with the windows rolled up lol

Why would Tesla want to talk to Inside Edition?
right! a lot of cars have the exact same windows and if the driver didn't know this, then it's not at Tesla's fault for their own actions. Swipe up for forward, swipe down for reverse. It's more likely driver fault.
Because Tesla doesn't have a press department, Elon fired them all years ago.
Oh God, here come the Tesla simps😂
Maybe to comment on why they made a defective submarine.
It's an ethical thing in journalism to try to contact every part that's involved in the reporting.
She didn’t realize she was reversing?? How far was the pond from wherever her car was? This doesn’t make sense at all
_This doesn’t make sense at all_
Would it make better sense if you knew she was blackout drunk? Later reports place her BAC at .23, almost triple the legal limit of .08.
That’s stupid, the windows should always be made breakable. You can replace a window, but not your life
Actually, the laminated ("unbreakable") windows save many more lives because they keep people from being ejected through the window in a roll-over, than they cause because a few people end up in the water and can't break the window. So on balance, laminated windows still have a positive effect on safety.
I would imagine her blood alcohol level being nearly three times the legal limit at the time of the accident probably had something to do with that.

It’s weird for her to have backed up so fast that she couldn’t have hit the break once she noticed she was reversing! I wonder if she was use to turning on her car and then just slamming on the gas pedal or what? What a weird situation
Mistaking the brake for the accelerator would definitely do that, most likely smashed the 'brake' to stop the car which just made reverse faster into the pond. If the pond was close enough the car can move pretty quickly.
She was drizzzzunk!!
Definitely weird
i think thats because teslas accelerate extremely fast
Part of it is definitely because it’s a tesla. they accelerate extremely fast, and that includes going backwards too
On a lot of cars specially older models you can unhook your car seats headrest and it’s easily removable, it’s normally made of a heavy steel enough to easily crack the window. I saw this once I forgot where but I’ll always remember it forever.

The one thing I like about manual stick shifts is that there is no way to accidentally mistake put it the gear in reverse when attempting to drive forward while the vehicle is stopped.
I once scratched the side of my manual car because I accidentally put it in reverse, but it was an old car where it doesn't spring back to centre. It was already in reverse, I pulled it out of reverse, but was tired after a long day and wasn't paying enough attention and didn't move it far enough over to get out of the gate and for it to go into 1st, so instead of going into 1st when I pushed forward on the stick it went back into reverse. Silly mistake on my part, yes, but even a manual isn't fool proof. Only had 2 incidents in my 20 or so years of driving, both parking mistakes, that was one of them.
It’s amazing how someone with that much power is that mentally unaware of her own surroundings and safety precautions
I mean......im just gonna say it.....skelletor
These people only have that much power because of affirmative action.
She inherited the money/power.
@@SWOTHDRA
Please elaborate...
Usually it's not mental power that gets them that it's the inherited money
I am sorry for a tragic loss, but grateful for the advice of getting out in this situation
lol, she was a rich broad. WHat is there to be sorry about lol
The natural response for normal people. Not call 911 and wait for them or someone else to rescue you.
@@REVAMPEDWRESTLING2KBecause Jesus commanded us to love others (including our worst enemies) as He loves us.
You will be judged should you choose not to.
Jesus??? lol good one yeah he's coming soon @@ajc5930 oh he's at the door with my pizza, I'll make sure to tip him well, thanks
@@ajc5930stop spewing nonsense man
RIP
Don’t drink and drive, I hope her family uses a good portion of their money to raise awareness of this problem or fund more psychology studies.
No-one should have to die from a preventable problem.
She drunk drove and backed into a pond. It's sad and a terrible fate.
Wouldn’t your natural instinct be to hit the brakes as soon as you realize your going in reverse instead of drive?? RIP
you dont even need to hit the brakes in the tesla. as soon as you let off the accelerator it automatically brakes. and quickly if i might add.
I constantly have dreams where I'm driving but my car is going backwards, and fast but I have no control?
Am I going to die in a Tesla 😅😂
Or possibly malfunction that time
@@thomas-918Exactly! I feel there is more to this story.
Maybe she was driving angry and not paying attention??
Taking the time to phone someone for help rather than rolling down the window... I'm sure she was frightened and not thinking clearly, but she paid with her life. My condolences to her loved ones.
Does everyone knows swim?
I think her electrical might have went out. My brother said something about that years ago, it was better to have hand crank windows if you wind up in the water. I'm not sure about the Teslas operating system, but she may have had no power once it got wet.
i would be stupid enough to call people first too
@@WhiteWolfBlackStar, I recently saw a video of a Tesla driving through floodwaters. Once the car was completely submerged then it would be unlikely to keep running for long but I would expect an EV to withstand water better than an ICE because it doesn't require air for combustion of fuel to keep running. Car electrics still work even if the engine isn't running though, so even then she would have had a period of time to use the windows without issue. As they said in the video, if you get your seatbelt off and your window down immediately, you can get out without too much trouble. I'm guessing that she just panicked and missed that opportunity.
@@wunnell There could be a fuse that disables the electrical system to the entire car if it thinks it's underwater.
Why would Tesla respond to your request? Whats the car have to do with her driving mistake? Pretty sure every car on the planet would of went in the same direction as the gear she had it in.
Oh my gosh! How terrible! So sorry.
And THAT is the utter stupidity of using a TOUCHSCREEN to replace physical and CRITICAL controls in a Car! Thank god the EU is trying to put a stop to this madness.
Like what controls? Rolling down the windows is the same as any other car
@@flashmodeify like changing what gear the car is in.
I do not want the same technology that can't tell what letter I'm trying to type, to be in charge of the gear shift. I'll stick with cars that have tactile controls. I don't want a little static on my fingers to kill me.
Truly. Not everything that looks cool is the best for practical functionality.
@@flashmodeifyone of my cars has a button, my other car has a hand crank. How is it possible that all cars roll down their windows the same way?
the ending killed me... 'and tesla did not respond for our quest to comment'
Why should they. Appears to be user error. Someone with a lead foot accidentally backed quickly into a pond.
@@majorlazor5058That’s conjecture. You have no idea what actually happened. I’ve personally seen someone hack into the controls of a Tesla from far away. Anything is possible.
They may have not given enough time to respond. They may just give one hour to respond before stating that. It can be just because they don't like Elon Musk.
smart business women should knows drive mode and reverse mode
It’s not Tesla fault it’s a driver error
Man when someone normal does this it's just a normal tuesday but when someone with paper does it they get their own segment
