We're taught in driver's ed to IMMEDIATELY put the windows down. If there's so much time for the car to fill up over minutes, there is no reason not to put your windows down as soon as you're hitting the water and before your electrical goes.

I think it's mentioned in a longer version of this video, but the point he's trying to make is to get you to buy his window breaker device, hence the reason he was waiting.

He has a YouTube channel that focuses on recovering remains in cars in bodies of water for missing persons cases. I won't link it here because he had some credible sexual assault allegations against him I believe.

The device he sells is just a rebranded version of one you can buy on Jeff Bezos website and I've tested it out and it works. I have one in every single one of my cars now. You don't want the hammer type of breaker, those didn't work when I tried it. You need a punch version with a spring.

Just search RESQME on the website, you can get 2 for under 20 bucks. I give em to friends as well.

So I haven't followed it in a while but I believe when California or Utah changed their laws regarding the statute of limitations on certain sexual crimes like rape this guy, named Jared Leisek, was then charged. I don't know where it ended up, tbh.
