<p>I doubt that they knew anything about how to escape from a submerged car. I knew nothing until I educated myself because of this thread! There is a video on youtube of someone from the Today Show demonstrating the ways that you can and cannot get out of a submerged car. Meredith Viera was the interviewer. </p>
<p>I am planning to buy multiples of the keychain version of the glass-breaker/seat-belt cutter for friends and relatives. I noticed from Amazon reviews that some of them do not work properly, so it is important to test them.</p>
<p>And I test it how? Our sister-in-law also gave us a hammer for Christmas one year, but we have two cars and only one hammer. Perhaps it’s time to get a second one.</p>
<p>I was so afraid it would end this way…sigh. My heart goes out to all those who knew and loved these girls.</p>
<p>nysmile-Thanks for the link. I just ordered the hammers for all our family members for holiday gifts. There is also a 6-pack of hammers that saves a few dollars.</p>
