More on-line news. Larter is the name of the mayor of the town in Australia near where the accident took place. "As anyone would be in a vehicle lying upside-down for three days over Christmas, I imagine anyone would have been distressed," Larter said. "You'd be missing your family over Christmas and I suppose you'd be wondering when somebody was going to come and rescue you."

And therefore anything we say is overstated?
