I love documentaries. Love 'em. Recently I saw two - one American and one English - that really stuck in my mind. They were not about similar incidents but they're both about families, people trying to make sense of the inexplicable, and most of all about the illusion of perfection and the pressure to keep that appearance going at all costs

They both sound fascinating and haunting. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Really interesting, thanks for posting this! I do remember reading about the Taconic State Parkway crash; such a strange case. So many people swearing she was sober and yet. I am surprised that there was no stroke/aneurysm/medical issue that would account for the vision problems and slurred speech. You'd think if she was a habitual drinker or user that she'd have a higher tolerance?

And that second case is somehow EVEN MORE DISTURBING. Wow.

oh gosh - I remember Diane Schuler and that horrible, horrible crash. Not sure if you have an interest, but there's a popular NYC news blog called gothamist that is known for its, er,
"colorful" commentators:

I love documentaries too, but I especially love finding really good ones!
