Saving oneself from Sinking car.Learn the basic's!!

Hello everybody as since few days Assam is shocked with the death of five members  of a family due to mishap which lead into the sinking of car in river Dikhow in sibsagar .Tragically all of them died.And even the dead bodies were recovered after 4 days by SDRF. It was a very sad news for all.

So i am here today with a post based on awareness programme .Lets learn it ,how to save oneself from a sinking car.

I have discussed here situation wise.

Before starting the topic let me tell you one thing in such situation one must not panic and should keep calm and think what to do next?

Step.1.As you realise that your car has touched the water quickly remove your seat belt and start opening the window quickly,you will hardly have 30 -120 second for that.Why so much less time ,actually all car these days comes with power window means as soon as your car engine stops it remains locked permanently.

Remember dont give first preference on opening the door as opening of door worsens the situation more due to excess flow of water inside the car.

Step.2:Now how to open the window.?

A car's electrical system should work for approx. 3 minutes under water.So try the method of opening it electronically first.Many people dont think about windows as an escaple option either because of panic,or lack of using the window for exit normally,or because they are focused on lots of misinformation on doors and sinking.

Step:3.If you arent able to open the window electronically or it only opens half way then the last option left for you is to break the window .Now with what object you will break the window.?

Use any pointed sharp object like seat holder,heels etc.

If these are also not available just use your legs or arm to break it off.

Ok now car equalized with water so what will you do?

it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has filled with water and it has equalized, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. It takes 60 to 120 seconds (1 to 2 minutes) for a car to fill up with water usually. While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing. Unlock your door, either with the power button (if it is still working) or manually. If the doors are stuck (which they probably will be in most cases, with the pressure being massive), hopefully you've been busy breaking the window already, as advised in the previous steps.

• Continue to breathe normally until the water is at chest level, then take a deep breath and hold your nose.
• Stay calm:Keep your mouth closed to preserve breath and to prevent water from entering. Swim out through the broken window.
• If exiting via an open door, place your hand on the door latch. If you are unable to see it, use a physical reference by stretching your hand from your hip and feeling along the door until you locate the latch.

And now what next:

Swim to the surface as quickly as possible. Push off the car and swim to the surface. If you don’t know which way to swim, look for light and swim toward it, or follow any bubbles you see as they will be going up. Be aware of your surroundings as you swim and surface; you may have to deal with a strong current8 or obstacles such as rocks, concrete bridge supports, or even passing boats. If it's ice-covered water, you'll need to head for the obvious hole created by the car's impact. Do your best to avoid injuring yourself on obstacles, and use branches, supports, and other items to cling to if you're injured or exhausted.

So these were the some of the basic steps to save oneself from sinking of car in river.
