Shaggy,

I think maybe you are not seeing the point trying to be made by most here. The Rangers did not do enough. That's indisputable because 2 people are dead that might otherwise would not have been. That's not to say that the individual Rangers are to blame, I don't think anyone here knows enough to state that. The Rangers were the last component of this emergency operation and failed to find them, it's that simple. It's the why that has most here concerned.

Everyone here does know that the driver likely caused his accident and put he and his passenger in the precarious situation. Bad judgement happens every day and sometimes results in this type of accident and we rely on emergency services to provide help in those situations. There was a breakdown here. The vehicle's coordinates were given but not used and there was no attempt to re-connect with the vehicle using the Onstar system. The Rangers, quite frankly, should not have been searching the entire island to begin with. They should have first zeroed in on the coordinates provided to the 911 operator but the Ranger that took the call from the 911 operator did not take the coordinates down and use them.

Maybe some of you don't understand about Onstar and that that is part of the reason for our concern. We pay a fee to have this Onstar service for emergency situations like what transpired on that island and depend upon that system and the subsequent emergency services because Onstar can GPS locate our vehicle in the event of such an emergency. This valuable tool was ignored altogether in this situation.
