  Its the worst plug ever in history.  Thanks for the info, wonderful human being she was.
context: As the couple was leaving the park, gusts of wind swung the gate around rapidly, enough to slice through the passenger side door of the couple’s car, decapitating Nakajjigo as her husband sat feet away in the driver’s seat.
  
  Final Destination stuff right there. >
  
  Wow, no amount of money is going to help someone get over that. >
  
  You can never, ever unsee that. Fuckin hell… >
  
  As someone who watched cancer, eat my spouse at 32. You are correct. There are some things that will stick with you that are forever not great >
  
  I need to see this gate >
  
  Thanks, this is mind blowing >
  
  I believe "skewered the car" would have been more descriptive than "sliced through"
  Guardrails have been responsible for similar incidents.  There's a guy I've seen on youtube who calls out bad guardrail installations since one killed his daughter.  Not sure if it's the same guy here:
  
  A Loudon County man is advocating for changes after the Tennessee Department of Transportation billed his dead daughter nearly $3,000 to replace the guardrail that killed her in a car crash last November.
  In addition to refusing to pay the bill, Steven Eimers alleges the model of guardrail end involved in his daughter Hannah's death is "horribly designed" and dangerous. >
  
  Wtf, they billed the dead girl?! >
  
  The gate was a steel pipe gate designed to close the road (they are pretty common in state and national parks). The gate was meant to be open, but they forgot to lock it in the open position. The wind caught the gate and swung it toward the road just as their car was driving thru. The combination of the gate moving and the car moving meant that when the car hit the gate it tore right thru the glass and sheet metal of the car and into the passenger, Esther Nakajjigo (who was on vacation at the time, when at work she was an activist involved with womens reproductive healthcare). >
  
  Ah- yea the combined velocity is what did it. I was looking at the gate thinking “how much wind could there have been??” But going 20-30-40mph the gate doesn’t need to be moving fast at all. Just there >
  
  Well that's fucking horrifying. That poor widowed husband. Reminds me of the brick that flew off a truck and killed a passenger... except there is dashcam of that, and most of it is the driver screaming in horror... >
  
  I watched that video years ago and the screams still haunt me. Very much wish I had never watched. 
  Very glad there’s no video of this. But man, the memories in her husband’s mind. I can’t even imagine how he’s dealing. >
  
  Terrible story, but thanks to someone actually putting what happened into the title; most reports just baited with "woman decapitated." >
  
  This is so nightmarish. I hope this poor guy can find some peace. >
  
  For real. That’s something that will haunt him for the rest of his life. Just purely and utterly horrible. >
  
  What the hell kind of gate is capable of decapitating someone inside a car? >
  
  Did the rangers not even bother to lock them? As a former ranger (county parks level), we always locked our gates to the posts when they were open. >
  
  That thing was swinging around in the wind last time I was there. Yikes. >
  
  Why reference the role of activist without using your platform to bring viewers to that activism? 
  
  Esther Nakajjigowas a Ugandan humanitarian and human rights activist. She was named Uganda's ambassador of hope for women and girls by the World Health Organization. Nakajjigo founded the Princess Diana Health Centre in Munyonyo.
