14 yr old girl dies locked in BMW

Who's asking her to break the window with her bare hands? Belt buckle, feet, keys, pen are all fair game. But let's say she panicked and never thought of using the metal belt buckle. I'll concede to that, as she's only 14. But why sit in a car with windows rolled up on a hot day?

Sitting in a car with windows rolled up is a mystery, I can't do that for more then 30 seconds.

Just an example bro. Her best bet would have been the belt buckle and a book. But again she's 14 and perhaps she panicked. I concede to that once again.
But sitting in the car with windows up on a jhot day still has me wondering.

Okay I just tried, on my '11 E93.
If you're sitting in the car and the person you're riding with leaves you in it, takes the keys, and locks it with the fob from the outside, no you cannot open the car doors by pulling the handle, and as the locks are recessed you can't pull them up either. What you have to do is hit the central door lock/unlock button, which is right in the middle of the center console near the emergency flasher button. Once you open the door the alarm goes off, but whatever. At least on my E93, it's a small button, one that would unfortunately be easy to miss. There's definitely a proper way out of the car though, without doing anything elaborate.
Tragic either way.

I once saw a guy willingly sitting in a car on a hot day with the windows rolled up for like 20 minutes, it must be 140 degrees in there And no it was not a Pruis with the AC on, it was an old Prelude with the engine off.

Yes, I can attest to this. Witnessed a criminal act and tried to help stop the getaway vehicle... knucles vs window, the window won.
