I'm sorry. Is this the 5 or the 10 pound argument?

Holy cow you too? Didn't actually bother to read this thread hey? We have already revealed this type of categorical statement about that particular interview to be a falsehood. At least bother to check your source and understand what was actually said. Carlson made an unsubstantiated accusation about something she claims the lawyer said he believed, and cut him off before he could respond.He is violating immigration law according to the latest news.
as I suspected, you took my post out of context. I was referring to the incident in this thread, and specifically about searching the car and not finding the conscious victim breathing in an air pocket. As such, my post started on the presumption that the decision to search the car had already been made. Air pockets able to sustain human life have great visibility.
I do appreciate the well thought out response though...much better than the previous posts that sounded like a a hissy fit. The only point I was making with my original post was that if you are going to search the car, then search the car. I agree that my post was over simplified, and that was on purpose as I don't see any reason to hash out a complete hypothetical plan in an internet forum.
Anything beyond this needs to be moved to a more appropriate place than Public Safety Diving. I'm suggesting the pub.
\Seriously????????? Deserves to be sued?????? Wow! Year after year, I just feel like I have less and less in common with other people in my country.

Two hours????? What the eff was he doing? Even if all the doors were jammed shut he could have wound down (possibly) or broken a window and swum to the surface. It would be a cold day in hell before I would sit in a submerged car waiting to be rescued.
I saw something about that on Mythbusters once (MythBusters Episode 72: Underwater Car). I don't remember all the details but it convinced me to buy one of those little safety hammers, just in case.
It doesn't seem unlikely to me at all that someone could get trapped in the car because they were unable to open the door or break a window by, for example, kicking it.
