Comments on: Too Stupid to Live http://www.sfsmith.com/blog/2004/10/25/too-stupid-to-live/ The dynamic new way to bore you with stories about what I watched on TV last night. Or stuff about Macs, libertarianism, prog rock, cockatiels, mountains, travel, science fiction, the Web, and what a totally awesome guy I would be if I were anything like I would like to think I am.

So if the witness swam to them, and the waterlevel had gotten to a certain level, they couldn't have opened the doors. Also the (probably) power windows would have shorted, and not been operative. So their only option almost from the get-go was breaking a window. The sunroof would also have shorted. Car glass is strong enough that the guy who came out there couldn't break it. Cops said they wouldn't have been able to respond quickly enough anyway, even if they'd called the right number or a patrol car had gotten there within a minute.
