Everyone did. That's why he is going even more extreme to get
his name back out there again.

Sorry for the tragic loss, but this is not Apples fault for the
idiocy of others. This is just a money grab from a big
corporation.
[glow=red,2,300]Texas Couple Sues Apple for FaceTime Induced
Fatal Car Crash[/glow]
Apple is being sued by a Texas couple, who allege that its
FaceTime app played a role in a lethal car crash on Christmas
Eve 2014 that killed their 5-year-old daughter Moriah. James and
Bethany Modisette argue that Apple should have implemented
safeguards and a “safer, alternative design” that would prevent
drivers from using FaceTime while driving at high speeds.
The lawsuit, which was filed on December 23 in California
Superior Court in Santa Clara County, also contends that Apple
failed to “to warn users that the product was likely to be
dangerous when used or misused” and properly issue safety
guidelines to users.
The fatal incident occurred on a highway near Dallas after the
Modisettes had slowed or stopped their Toyota Camry due to
police activity ahead of them. Sometime later, Garrett Wilhelm,
who was traveling in the same direction, plowed his Toyota
4Runner into them from behind while distracted by FaceTime app,
the suit alleges.
His car struck the Modisettes’ with enough force to cause “it to
be propelled forward, rotate and come to a final rest at an
angle facing the wrong direction in the right lane of traffic,”
the suit claims, whereafter it “continued its trajectory by
rolling up and over the driver’s side of the Modisette car.”
Moriah was in a booster seat in the left rear passenger seat at
the time and later died from her injuries.
The suit also claims that Wilhelm admitted to have been using
the FaceTime video chat app at the time of the crash, and that
“police located his iPhone at the crash scene with the FaceTime
application still active”. The Morisettes are suing Apple for
damages, arguing that Wilhelm’s iPhone had the necessary
hardware to automatically block his use of FaceTime. Their
position is that Cupertino is liable because “Apple failed to
configure the iPhone to automatically ‘lock out’ the ability to
utilize FaceTime while driving at highway speeds, despite having
the technical capability to do so”.
Wilhelm has been indicted on manslaughter charges and is
currently out on bail. His lawyer maintains that iPhone use did
not contribute to the crash and that “it was simply an
accident”.
