Mr. Ballin

But that information was buried on page 80 of that owner's manual that he had pulled out and begun flipping through.

But he was so delirious from heat exhaustion, he couldn't get that far into the manual.

He's like combing through all this really dense text.

He made it about a quarter of the way through.

when unfortunately he and his dog Leah died from heat exhaustion.

James's family filed a wrongful death case with Chevrolet, the maker of the Corvette in 2018, but the case was dismissed.

Chevrolet still makes Corvettes with these special electric doors,

And there have been numerous additional incidents of people getting locked in and trapped.

But in more recent Corvette models, the manuals have the information about the door's release lever much closer to the front of the manual.

On the morning of August 20th, 1862, a 17-year-old farmhand named Jean Leroux carried his axe over to a stack of logs by a barn on a farm in Ottawa Township, Minnesota.

As a farmhand, Jean was responsible for lots of different odd jobs, like splitting the firewood and feeding the animals and helping with the crops.

Basically, Jean had to know every single inch of the farm and the woods that surrounded it

and how to take care of it all.

But even though he was basically constantly busy, Jean still found his mind wandering to a place that was sort of difficult, which was he felt a lot of times pretty homesick.

So Jean was actually from France and he had left behind his whole family and his previous life to come here to America, where there was supposed to be more opportunity.

However, America was turning out to be a pretty violent place.

The country was currently fighting the Civil War.

And on top of that, the area specifically where Jean lived was pretty much like the frontier.

And so there were these constant territorial disputes and virtually no law enforcement.

So just a really dangerous place.
