Always wear your seatbelt. :/
It's at times like this that I wish we didn't have the whole world at our fingertips, because now we get to see every time something senseless and heinous happens.
Just fuck. 14 years old and dead over the dumbest shit.
I don't even know what should be done with people like this. Does jailing this girl solve anything?

People feel like they don't exist unless someone's watching.
Right? If she had been on the phone with an emergency operator, they would take told her that. Streaming was more important.
Clearly she made some very shitty decisions leading up to the crash, but I have a hard time blaming her for her behavior afterwards. Shock does weird things to people.
That said, can we get some officers to browse Instagram and the like to start sending tickets (including points/insurance hikes) out to drivers who stream? There's video evidence ffs.

Sure it does. It prevents her from doing the same thing in the future.
In a just world, she would be behind bars forever.
At the very least, she should never be allowed to operate a motor vehicle ever again. If you kill someone while driving under the influence, you should lose your right to drive permanently.

CLEARLY NSFL VIDEO, don't do this to yourselves. Not worth your quick thrill of seeing the interior of a teenagers skull for psychological scarring.

That video is all sorts of fucked. Do yourself a favor and don't watch that.

My brother's life was saved thanks to a seat belt. I will always wear my seat belt. I really like the fact that newer vehicles will keep alerting you if seat belts are not buckled.
I watched a two seconds of the video and yes... NSFL. Don't even watch a second of it.
I didn't watch the video in the OP but I saw it on ABC World News this evening.
They showed it as it happened but pixelated the gory parts. You couldn't make anything out (thank god).
I just don't get it.

Just seems like the logical conclusion of a conceptual episode of Black Mirror...

Wow that video did a number on me.
Welp. I should not have watched that.
Regardless, the dumb bitch deserves as she says. Locked up for life. Killed your damn sister due to your own careless behavior and in her final moments you can't even be respectful to her as you're shaking her goddamn head around like a rag doll while recording the whole damn thing.
I don't care what you're on, remove yourself from society. We don't need you.

there's a subreddit with over a 100,000 subscribers that is nothing but videos of people dying. The comment sections are filled with typical shitty reddit "jokes". The videos are sorted in categories such as beheadings or children. Something for every taste, you see

WTH why was she so calm after killing her sister? She even played with her head after the accident... Thats horrific.

My brother-in-law who is a fucking cop of all things constantly excuses his shitty and extremely dangerous driving with "I've never been in an accident!" Yeah, and every Russian roulette player is undefeated until they aren't.
I'm sure this is me yelling at clouds but it seems like everybody around where I live who is younger than thirty is dangerously, offensively stupid behind the wheel. I seen more people crossing over double yellow lines to pass the person in front of them for only driving 10 mph over the speed limit.
I don't recommend anyone see it. I dunno why I did, but I regret it now.

Just reading the OP made me emotional. I couldn't imagine doing that to anyone, much less my sister (we're close).
Yeah I guess what I meant to say was I wish there was a better system. She needs to be put away and never drive again.
Pretty much, its pathetic.

funny how the conclusions of so many from this is : wear your seat belt.
Everything about this would be just as shocking if they had worn seat belts but had been injured perhaps fatally perhaps not.
The shocking/sad part is this is everything except the not wearing seat belts.

I cant watch the video cuz that shit gives me anxiety for days but my friend was telling me about this at work. I guess he was actually watching the live feed and I was just like jesus christ man. Fucking infuriating. What a waste of a life. Stupid little attention seeking fucks. Enjoy your prison time. I hope the nightmares haunt her the rest of her life.
What's worse is that here Quincenera was supposed to be celebrated and welp that ain't happening anymore. Saw the video and towards the end I'm pretty sure she starts breaking down, can hear it in her voice. Fucked up video nonetheless and like the OP post says, don't watch it if you click on the article.
Ughhhhhhhhh. I guess it's not surprising.
Seat belts save lives. It's not the most terrible thing about this incident, and it's not the girl's fault her sister is fucking awful, but she would probably have survived with a seat belt.
How do you not go insane if you are the parents? Daughter kills your other daughter days before a large celebration you no doubt had already planned for her. I just don't know how the mind deals with that without going insane.

Watched parts of the video expecting her to be screaming, crying, panicking, or otherwise reacting somewhat how you'd expect someone to react literally less than 30s after a multiple rollover crash.
BUT NOPE!
Not this girl. She just rolls up to her sisters body, still filming, with a "Damn, this sucks but shit happens ya'know," attitude. That's the part that got me that most. I can almost understand someone still clutching their phone after the crash, so shocked by what just transpired that they keep it rolling without thinking as they try to make sense of what happened.
This girl however, is aware. She's present. She seems to fully understand that her sister is dead and she's taken the express lane to acceptance, so much so that she puts the body on film and selfies herself with it. She's acting like she just dented her parents' cars and she's bummed but accepting of it. The dude who crashed my motorcycle 5min after buying it was more rattled than this girl. She's a special kind of cold that is seriously fucked.

Censored video If you just want to see her reaction.
We need less idiots on the street, too baadd the sister was the one who died and not the stupid driver.
Farenheit 451 was a prophecy.
Her reaction alone made me sick to my stomach.

I watched this yesterday thinking it was just going to be one of those crash videos where you see the person make the mistake but you don't see the aftermath. I was wrong and I wish I never watched it.

no argument but there are thousands of crashes every day with and without seat belts as well as fairly powerful ads people have shared that explain the benefits.
The whole point (I think) of this topic is live-streaming death, social media use among youth and tech companies wading into it without thinking of the consequences like live streamed assassinations, suicides and murders.
Perhaps some people live in a state where seat belt use is not pervasive? but most people here I suspect live in cities where seat belt use is 99%. Most new cars chime annoyingly and endlessly if you don't use them which helps.

that is kind of the point of Xanax if that is what she was on. It is anti-anxiety after all.

I was anxious for the whole minute of the video before the crash. Nauseating reaction, I don't know if I could have made the youtube vid higher quality but I'm glad it wasn't perfectly clear when
she was grabbing her sister's face.
