How can one explain the unexplainable?

The big news this morning in the Metroplex is the HUGE traffic problem in todays morning rush hour. The cause: a mother, who threw her 2 babies from an overpass onto I30. She then jumped over herself. The miracle, if one can call it that, is that all 3 survived (as of 8am they were still alive). And while the tv and radio pundits debate how a mother can try to kill her children, my question is: why choose that method to kill your yourself and/or your children? The miracle is that no drivers were killed in the chaos. IF she survives and IF she stands trial, how could one not come to the conclusion that she is/was insane?

I'm sure the details of her life will come out in the next 24/48 hours. Hopefully that can try to explain the events of today. But can they, really?
