Sorry, I should have been more specific and added to break the glass.

I found this online. There are videos as well,
Probably a good read for anybody, but especially parents who may need to factor in little ones, to an escape from a sinking car.

Belts off, and try to get out in the floating phase. 31 seconds with windows open, 71 seconds closed. so what do you do if you have two kids in car seats? dont open the windows or do? BUY A WINDOW CUTTER leave the windows closed until the kids are undone? then I Guess its just, hang on to the kids for bloody life.

My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?
Apparently "Robin Hood All Purpose" was the wrong answer!

What the heck? Don't use your phone until out of the car? That's just down right silly - one needs to take the obligatory selfie first :biggrin:

That’s cheating. Let’s see him do that with a britex. It takes me longer then two minutes when I’m not in a sinking car that has suddenly plummeted into water. Also, did you see the water pushing the baby in? These guys are showing the very best case scenario. I can tell you. Judging for what I’m finding, if I plummet into water, it’s highly likely I’ll die, trying to save my children. However, I feel like the more I know, the less stupid *bleep* I may attempt, in the time sensitive situation, should it ever occurs.

Mother accused of impaired driving, other charges in death of toddler swept away by swollen Ontario river.

[quote]The mother of a toddler swept into a raging river during flash flooding in Ontario earlier this year has been charged in her son’s death, police said Thursday.

Ontario Provincial Police said they conducted a long and thorough investigation into the death of three-year-old Kaden Young, who drowned in the Grand River near Orangeville, Ont., when torrential rains combined with a late-February thaw caused widespread flooding in the region.

That investigation, they said, prompted the charges against Kaden’s mother, 35-year-old Michelle Hanson of Amaranth, Ont.

She now faces one count each of impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, and criminal negligence causing death.[quote]

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
