77. FROM ONE SECOND TO THE NEXT

xzavier, a spinal cord injured boy, dependent on a ventilator for life.  he was crossing the street with his sister when he was struck and dragged when a texting driver ran a stop sign.  100,000 deaths a year from texting, and growing.  martin from indiana was texting when he hit and killed 3 children of an amish family, as they moved along the road in their buggy.  the text?  "i love you" to his wife.  debbie from vermont, brain injured, struck by a teenager who was texting and driving.  in just a second of time, lives forever altered.  pain for the injured; pain for their families; pain for the distracted driver.  don't text and drive.  directed by werner herzog, the film is powerful in it's 45 minutes.  i cried the entire time.  the message is simple.  when driving, put the phone away.  don't become one of the "regular" people from this film who's life is horribly changed by texting and driving.
