MVA should be able to track the VIN back to the last owner, right?

2:40 If the VIN survived! That explosion rocked the entire community with flames higher than trees!

The VIN is in multiple places on every vehicle.

"2:40 If the VIN survived!..."

The VIN is not only on the plate in the windshield, but is usually stamped in other indestructible places such as engine block, bell housing, rear differential, etc. You can be sure that there are traceable numbers that survived.

VINs *always* survive.

"Passed away." That's a nice way to say died by cooking and suffocation.

@6:31, and that's NOT a nice comment for you to say. Grow up.

@744, 631 is grown up because he/she isn't swayed by your PC culture. Just because YOU can't handle the truth doesn't mean he/she can't too.

The VIN is only going to show the list of registered owners. Go to PA, buy a car at auction, get a fake paper tag to drive around on until DFC Chase catches you. This operator clearly never met him, as he crashed before being caught. You can definitely trace it back to the auction, but someone with cash and no ID can "cash & carry".

Let's give thoughts and prayers for the deceased and not worry about how many places the VIN is located.

It's not about PC culture, which I dislike as well. It's about being respectful, especially to the dead and their family. Would you go up to the family and say to their face "your loved one cooked and suffocated"?? I would hope not and I'll bet you wouldn't like someone to say that to you if the roles were reversed. Acting respectfully and being politically correct are 2 completely different ideas. Showing respect is about who you are as a person. Being PC is about worrying how others perceive you.

Respect is being upfront and truthful...no matter how bitter the truth pill is to swallow.

Humility is not being PC. It is human to show humility. The act of kindness is not being politically correct it is just being a good person. There is a time and place for everything. I would snap your neck like a chicken bone if you harmed me or mine. This had nothing to do with politics. A person received the death penalty for driving a car that was unregistered. I would say he paid enough. 8:13 look up respect in the dictionary I think you missed the point. So if your family member died in a mva you would want the cop delivering the news as blunt as possible lol. I do not think so.

I hope the homeowner had insurance, its gonna be the only thing that saves them now!

5:26 ok lets think about the deceased - what exactly where they doing or thinking? An unregistered vehicle clearly means they don't give a darn about laws, or any damage they may cause with said unregistered, uninsured vehicle. The accident happened on a straight stretch of road, where the driver lost control of the vehicle. There isn't any loose gravel on esham road in that area, speed is what caused the driver to loose control. He went across another persons yard, jumped a ditch before creaming brick steps, sliding down a brick home, and destroying a travel trailer. Please tell me what else should we think about the driver? They were a good law abiding citizen??????? Any proof of that????????? Was the driver respectful of the vehicle he was in control of??? NO! Was the driver respectful to any of the people's property he destroyed?????? NO! Would the driver have been respectful if he had killed anyone other than himself????? More than likely NO!!!!!!!!! RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GIVEN FREELY!!!!!!!!!

1131a Obviously i would want the police officer to tell me the whole truth. If he lies about one thing ("Oh, your loved one died instantly on impact."), he will lie about other things. People need to pull their big boy/girl panties up and accept the things that society deems offensive.
