Summary

19 year old Davion Flanagan’s family and 20 year old Dominic Russo’s family want to know what the hell happened that morning. How could 17 year old Mackenzie Shirilla drive her car straight into a brick building at 100 mph killing their two boys? How could she be the sole survivor? This is the case of Mackenzie Shirilla who used a high speed, intentional motor vehicle collision to end the lives of her longterm boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend/roommate at the time, Davion Flanagan. After the release of Netflix’s documentary, ’The Crash,’ interest surrounding the case grew but audiences were left with more questions about the fuller picture. Naturally, we FOIA requested this case to the authorities and received: Over 4 thousand videos. Over 4 thousand photos. Around 31 thousand pages of text messages. Around 92 thousand text messages between just Mackenzie and Dominic. Close to 800 text messages between Mackenzie and her father, Steve Shirilla. Close to 2 thousand text messages between Mackenzie and her close friends. As well as 2 thousand pages of Instagram DMs. 2 entire phone data extraction files with hundreds of personal videos, photos, and audio messages. And 97 jail calls from Mackenzie post-conviction. We have gone through all of it and we’re here to break it down for you. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

It sounds like a tornado, but he can't directly look at what's causing all this wind. At least it's not advised. All the debris that's getting kicked up into the air of the dust, it's going to get into his eyes,

and then there's going to be a bigger problem, and he's not going to be as useful right now.

And he needs to be very useful because he needs to save somebody's life.

In the event of a very, very bad car crash, it always feels like a storm is coming.

And that's not figuratively. It's usually the

life flight. It's a helicopter. This is essentially a flying emergency room and it is looking for a

place to land typically on the road. I mean, it does need clearance. A lot of the police have to taper

off a section and the pilot is ultimately the one that decides if it's safe to land.

0:54.8

But these helicopters, they're trying to land as quickly as possible, as closely as possible, to the

crash site so that they can get whoever needs help with no time wasted to the closest medical

facility. The lifelight lands and they hurry to get the patient on board and fly them to Metro Health

The officers, the police officers, the detectives, they're knocking on the hospital door
