Stupidity: You mean to tell me a bunch of people are just going to stand around while a little girl is drowning and the kid trying to save her is obviously not making an effort? Only when she goes under the ice do people respond. Meanwhile, they're sitting around for a long time doing nothing.
Stupidity: After Connie has fallen through the ice and is starting to drown, only Henry is trying to save her, lying on the ice in front of the hole she fell through. Meanwhile, all the adults watch behind a barrier. As they watch, Connie is flailing in the water, Henry isn't reaching out his hand far enough, and Connie is going down for the third time. And the adults continue to do nothing. Why wouldn't someone crawl in the ice and save Connie? (00:56:35)
Answer: Yes. She had to drop out when production was delayed, and she was no longer available.
