The new "Unintended Acceleration"....?

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Just adding to the commentary.
Although its pure speculation: the exterior door handles were at fault?
(THAT one's been waiting to pop up)
Our old 86 5000S OUTER door handle worked (so rescuers could open it) but 
what if his didn't?  (JUST A THOUGHT)

and back to our 86 5000S:  If the near pristine car, could do it to us once, 
It could to him.  The vacuum mechanism is slow to work lock to unlock.  If 
someone pre squeezes the inner lever while the pumps working the mechanism, IT 
HAS HAPPENED ONCE to us...........the inner door won't respond to opening by the 
lever.

A re lock of the door "knob" and then unlocking "cured" this one time 
problem.......
( I remember looking at my "senior" dad  and telling him: whatta you mean you 
can't open the door?) 

Since we're onto speculation...MY bet is the smoke incapacitated him first.

and the bystanders were WEAK IMHO.
