I've read a half-dozen or more accounts of car submersions (where equipped with electric windows). In every instance, the electric windows failed to function near-immediately. Might be exceptions, but I wouldn't want to count on it.

Wildman800's comments about EDC in a tragedy of this sort ... a reminder that an inexpensive tool like the ResQMe for windows and seatbelts is a worthwhile addition to car-interior EDC .

Thoughts and prayers to those involved in the bridge collapse and their families.
