Driver shoots himself out of submerged car

Driver gets startled by a cell phone ring, swerves off the road and into a river. Finding himself in 8 feet of water in a Chappaquiddick situation, he takes out his handgun, shoots out the window, and swims to safety.

No harm done, except to the car.

Via Don in an email, who sends 100% cool stuff. For example, you know how far a Light Year is. So how far is a Light Leap Year? (Hint: one three hundred and sixty fifth longer than a Light Year).

That sounds like something 'Mythbusters' needs to check out.

It worked, thats all that matters. He could simply have breathed deeply while the car flooded and then opened the door once the delta-p came down, but it is easy to think it through sitting in an armchair which is not in eight feet of water!
