Quote HistoryQuoted:
I remember in the eighties a news anchor and her husband driving into a canal from a parking lot. Both died. I guess most people just freak out and are unable to get out. Not surprising at all. Yeah, a confined space that you can't escape filling with water in the dark is going to be about the most panic-inducing brain-fucking moment I can imagine beyond waking up buried in a coffin. You are not opening the doors. Unless you act fast to get the windows open you aren't getting out the windows until the car fills. In panic mode your ability to hold your breath is compromised and of course lack of oxygen causes more panic. Sad. Probably avoidable but so are a LOT of accidents. |

Not hard to imagine how it happened if you had seen the fog around here lately with the different weather fronts passing through . It was very dense here , especially thick when you get to a pond/lake and it's rolling right off the water.
Combine that with the mental exhaustion from being lost , they probably were just relieved to be in the familiar surroundings of their car , thankful to be out of the woods , covered in bug bites and stings and just wanted to get home or back to the motel and a hot shower Buzzing down an unfamiliar road , thick with fog , chatting amongst themselves and probably on the phone talking with concerned loved ones assuring them they were OK ...not really paying enough attention . . . and . . .

Yep, no battery is going to provide juice to the rest of the circuit when shorted with heavy saline water. Ocean water may as well be a dead-short. In pure distilled water without impurities water is damn near non-conductive. Add ions and it becomes a fantastic conductor. |

I can understand that. That's why my earlier post. Those that haven't been there cannot understand how fast and thick the fog can roll in when you are on the water up there. |

These women were fucking stupid and destined to die from it.
1. Get lost in the woods 2. Get rescued and immediately drive into the ocean 3. Make calls on your cell phone while your vehicle sinks instead of trying to escape I have zero sympathy. It's just too bad they had to take the dog with them.

Tragic story
With that said, I shared this with some friends and they asked me a question that maybe someone here can answer. If you were exiting a submerged car would it be prudent to exhale on your ascent? When the car entired the water it was at 1 atmosphere, correct? At 33ft down it's 2 atmospheres. As the water entires the car as it sinks the air inside would then be under compression? Everyone has seen this when they were kids with an empty upside down coke bottle in the pool and watched as the water inside went higher the deeper the bottle went. I'm not that familiar with Boyle's Law, but if you filled a balloon (your lungs) full of the compressed air in the bottle (the car) and surfaced the balloon would pop. Am I going in the right direction with my reasoning guys? Thanks

You kinda have to think about it this way... In the olden days, if you were stupid and incapable you died. Now we have so many people who are both of those, and we keep them alive and protect them from themselves. Until they drive into the water directly after being rescued from the woods.

I would have thought that it would have taken less than 175 feet to realize that something was amiss. 
The car continues its foward momentum as it sinks. It kind of half floats for a bit but the nose will go down like the video showed - if they hit it at road speeds, then 175 feet is probably about right. |

Fresh water, like in a lake, a river, or even tap water, will conduct electricity. Only absolutely pure H20 will not. It will be a resistance somewhere between 0 and something like 180KOhms. As shown pool water will not dead short the battery it might be as much as like 2K ohms or as low as 200 ohms. A lot will depend on mineral content. It may drain it rapidly but lots of other circuits, especially simple motors will have lower resistance than the water and may continue to function for a time. In ocean water the resistance is like 0.2 ohms over a one meter gap. You may as well attach a copper cable between the terminals. No current is going anywhere else through anything else. All electrical systems are dead as door-nails. |

Being from S Florida, knowing what to do in the event a car goes into a canal was something that was drilled into my head from an early age. If it's never crossed your mind and you panic I can see how you might just drown. In high school a kid I knew drowned in a car that ran into a canal just outside of town. My uncle has also had to jump in to save more than one person who ran a tractor or truck into a canal.
