A submarine house after typhoon sweeps through

[u/uniyk]

[u/No_Limit7347]

Window contractor should repost this

[u/bluedust2 → u/No_Limit7347]

Yeah, someone give me their number my house feels like it was built by the first pig.

[u/Mbembez → u/bluedust2]

My windows don't even block strong winds!

[u/WorthWrangler8437 → u/Mbembez]

Mine just redirects the wind straight into the house.

[u/Lorelei0216 → u/WorthWrangler8437]

Wait you guys have windows?

[u/ukri82 → u/Lorelei0216]

No, I have Ubuntu..

[u/StroopestOfWafel → u/ukri82]

Bro must have at least 8 children for that much of a dad joke

[u/machwulf → u/ukri82]

Never chortle after Chipotle

Well, Imma clean up now. Good one!

[u/Dragonwindsoftime → u/Mbembez]

My Windows are looking for ways to get me to subscribe 😤

[u/0wninat0r → u/Mbembez]

*windblows

[u/dantheother → u/bluedust2]

Third Pig Construction would be such a boss company name!

googles

Excellent. Others have already had the idea.

[u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein → u/bluedust2]

first pig's first house lol

[u/StickyPistolsRequiem → u/bluedust2]

LET ME IN LET ME IN

[u/Somethingabootit → u/StickyPistolsRequiem]

i think it would be more "Let m- oh wow you didnt even try did you"

[u/StickyPistolsRequiem → u/Somethingabootit]

Benefit of the doubt wolf

[u/Brief_Kangaroo_42069 → u/bluedust2]

Do you train your brain to think in these ways? How can I learn? 🙏

[u/kernelangus420 → u/No_Limit7347]

Maybe that contractor is as baffled as we are.

[u/RollerskatingFemboy → u/kernelangus420]

"Idk man that window install was FUCKED, and I just hoped it'd never have to handle any strong gusts of wind"

[u/WorthWrangler8437 → u/RollerskatingFemboy]

That window install just got its final performance review from Mother Nature.

[u/UltimateLmon → u/RollerskatingFemboy]

Luckily for them, the wind is definitely not hitting the window.

[u/MotherOfDogs1872 → u/No_Limit7347]

Something I heard from a contractor once: "that's as watertight as a duck's asshole."

[u/ath007 → u/MotherOfDogs1872]

Wait… how did he know?

[u/Mazazamba → u/ath007]

Very thorough testing.

[u/Lint_baby_uvulla → u/Mazazamba]

Yes true, but again, how?

[u/GoldenMaus → u/Lint_baby_uvulla]

The cylinder must not be harmed!

[u/utukore → u/MotherOfDogs1872]

Arnt all animals arseholes watertight though? You don't get out the pool and have a flood of water pour out your ass. Why would a duck?

[u/Patient-Success673 → u/utukore]

You don't?  🥺

[u/nmj95123 → u/No_Limit7347]

Not just the window contractor, but everyone involved. Assuming 6 ft of water, the force exerted against the wall is about 1,100 lbs per linear foot of wall. That kind of water can make walls fail.

[u/Akimotoh → u/nmj95123]

thats because it was made with proper cement walls and not some weak wood framed walls and paper drywall.

[u/nmj95123 → u/Akimotoh]

100%.

[u/Frankie_T9000 → u/nmj95123]

Yeah that is strong shit but i wouldn't go near it given it's possible it will suddenly shatter, look how this fish tank glass is

[u/Ben_steel → u/No_Limit7347]

there's a guy in the US who floods the inside of his house with clean water, creating equal pressure on the glass he films walking around inside his house waist deep.

he does this to prevent the dirty floodwater from entering.

[u/Styrbj0rn → u/Ben_steel]

Wouldn't that cause water damage all the same? Just a bit cleaner?

[u/MollyPW → u/Styrbj0rn]

When it comes to flood damage dirty water is a hell of a lot worse. Floods from things like burst pipes cost a fraction to sort out compared to floods from weather stuff.

[u/mekese2000 → u/[deleted]]

Not sure insurance will cover flooding your own house.

[u/IncompleteObjects → u/mekese2000]

It probably will.

Most will cover mitigation costs. If you need to rip out a wall to get to the leaking pipe thats flooding your house, that will be picked up

Its cheaper for you to dry your house out from it getting wet with clean water than having to rip out and dispose of everything thats touched the flood water

[u/cheezeball73 → u/Styrbj0rn]

The restaurant was designed to do this because it suits on the Ohio River. The materials used were intended for this

[u/RhysA → u/Styrbj0rn]

The place is actually a restaurant on a river and can't be insured for flood damage because it floods regularly, they do a bunch of prep work and the construction material helps but it means they don't have to deal with huge amounts of mud everywhere.

[u/InAppropriate-meal → u/Ben_steel]

it was a restaurant not a house and yes it worked

[u/Attitude-of-Raditude → u/InAppropriate-meal]

It was both.

[u/UltimateLmon → u/No_Limit7347]

I also want whoever built their walls.

[u/Hije5 → u/No_Limit7347]

This can be steadily replicated. It is simply a matter of if the customer wants to pay for it. Im sure more people tend to if they live in a country where this is possible.

[u/ConsciousSpirit397 → u/No_Limit7347]

Seriously, I’ve been in the eye of hurricanes before and at the peak wind forces the water was basically pouring into the room around the windows.  That’s seriously impressive.

[u/dnuoryawgnorw]

Honestly that's some impressive build quality. Holy shit.

[u/WestleyThe → u/dnuoryawgnorw]

When I read the title I thought it meant the house intentionally had a lower level that dipped into the water

The fact that this isn’t intentional is crazy. I would get away from the winfows and you are right those windows are sturdy as fuck I can’t even imagine the amount of of Wei that water is putting on it

[u/NightTop6741 → u/WestleyThe]

Not much. Think about a underwater window in a boat. It's not holding the whole ocean back. Depth is the factor for pressure. Even so if its normal glass..

I imagine it's toughened glass, and this is not the first typhoon this property owner has seen.

[u/Th3J4ck4l-SA → u/NightTop6741]

Yeap around 0.12 bar or 1.7psi at the lowest portion of the glass.

[u/LanikaiKid → u/Th3J4ck4l-SA]

This guy PSIs.

[u/PressinPckl → u/LanikaiKid]

/r/thisguythisguys

[u/Cronos988 → u/Th3J4ck4l-SA]

Assuming no current. I'd still be worried about any wave breaking unluckily smashing the window.

[u/RhysA → u/Cronos988]

Also there is likely a lot of debris in the water, so the additional concern of that impacting the glass as well.

[u/FetusFish → u/RhysA]

This would be my worry as well. Any submerged debris that becomes pinned to that window with the constant motion of the water.

[u/l4mpSh4d3 → u/Cronos988]

In case you’re planning on building one yourself, the force of the wave pulling out is also very strong.

[u/Musername2827 → u/l4mpSh4d3]

Aquaman's pull out game is unmatched.

[u/Jeffery95 → u/Th3J4ck4l-SA]

and how much force is that across a window of that size?

[u/gmueckl → u/Jeffery95]

A rough estimation based on an eyeballed window size of 1m by 2m says about 12kN.

[u/round-earth-theory → u/NightTop6741]

The biggest problem isn't the water pressure. Sure water weighs a lot but windows are installed outside in. They're designed to press into the house and hold the weight of heavy winds.

No, the bigger problem is the water smashing a tree through your window which few can withstand.

[u/Apart_Animal_6797 → u/NightTop6741]

Probably coastal china or veitnam shits either build to withstand a nuclear blast or get blown over in a breeze no in-between 

[u/Infinite_Music2059 → u/NightTop6741]

Perfect example of a little bit of knowledge being used wrong. That's for perfectly still standing water, so hydrostatic pressure.

This is moving water in a typhoon and it could be putting a massive amount of pressure against the glass. You can literally see that there are waves. It's hydrodynamic pressure.

[u/Simple_Channel5624 → u/WestleyThe]

I also thought the same thing. Not sure if they were trying to be funny and got me as a casualty, or if that was a straight sniper shot. Cause damn if it was, it was perfect

[u/lordph8 → u/WestleyThe]

I have to imagine it's designed to to do this. As hard as it is to believe.

[u/Schemen123 → u/dnuoryawgnorw]

Some houses are watertight at the lower levels.

Basically all that are build in swamps have to be.

Also.. sometimes you have to flood these in case of a flood because otherwise it can literally can be ripped out of the ground

[u/atomcplayboy86 → u/dnuoryawgnorw]

I want to know who built that house!
This video would make a for good promotion.

[u/brewdizogs → u/dnuoryawgnorw]

AND still has power?? What world is this?

[u/wasabi617 → u/dnuoryawgnorw]

Not just structurally impressive, but the sound dampening is what impressed me.

I would have thought the noise would be deafening... but no

[u/Medium9 → u/dnuoryawgnorw]

Seriously! I've worked with a company that makes large scale aquariums. The type you see at zoos or marine life exhibitions.

Getting panes reliably water tight even at this size is impressive, even more so if not specificly designed for it!

[u/Totally_man]

Yeah, get away from that.

[u/Suspicious_Glow → u/Totally_man]

Seriously. Water weighs a fair bit, and those windows are holding back the pressure from a LOT of water right now.

[u/Minimum_Cockroach233 → u/Suspicious_Glow]

Static pressure isn’t higher than that of an aquarium. Just hope no wave brings something pointy and with force to that window.

[u/LiarTruck → u/Minimum_Cockroach233]

Yeah that's the concern I'd have

[u/No-Storage3387 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, it's depth that matters. 1 atm at 0m, 2 atm at 10m, 3 atm at 20m etc...

//edit i'm going to revisit my statement as I'm being pedantic

pressure at 10 m depth is approx 2 atm, but is really the cumulative atmospheric pressure + the water pressure, both of which vary based temperature, humidity and in the case of water also salinity. In general its 2 bar at 10m though

[u/Ambitious_Finding_26 → u/[deleted]]

I'm just going back up the other guy. Yes. 1m in an aquarium has roughly (slightly less because salty) the same pressure as 1m in in the ocean. 

[u/Trezzie → u/[deleted]]

If you put a fishbowl into the ocean, it won't break, if you want a better mental comparison.

Neither does your body.

[u/Salt-Detective1337 → u/Minimum_Cockroach233]

Aquarium glass is tempered.

[u/IllustriousEffect607 → u/Suspicious_Glow]

Well it's a submarine house. So the windows are designed to handle the pressure

[u/clonerobot17 → u/IllustriousEffect607]

Was it a submarine house before or after the water got there ?

[u/slaty_balls → u/clonerobot17]

The “submarine house” line is op being facetious. It’s definitely not supposed to be like that.

[u/More-Chemical-1264 → u/clonerobot17]

Seeing how it's doing what it was design to do.....before...

[u/PhasmaFelis → u/More-Chemical-1264]

It wasn't designed for this. OP was joking. It's a submarine house now.

[u/GreenFullSuspension → u/IllustriousEffect607]

What if something sharp and heavy like a rock decides to cruise right towards the window?

[u/Cultural_Simple3842 → u/GreenFullSuspension]

Yes, floating rocks lol. I was thinking a random log but otherwise a similar concern. The house would be nearly instantly that deep in water.

[u/lockerno177 → u/Suspicious_Glow]

pressure at 18 ft deep in sea or in a swimming pool is the same. volume of water doesnt matter. its pressure depends on depth.

[u/Facts_pls → u/lockerno177]

And that's a lot. Remember, every 10 m (33ft) of water is the same weight / pressure as the entire atmosphere.

[u/RoboDae → u/Facts_pls]

So it's about 1.1atm

[u/EraseAnatta → u/RoboDae]

How many atmospheres of pressure can it take?

Well it's a spaceship so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.

[u/RoboDae → u/EraseAnatta]

Technically you have 1atm on the inside too, so only a difference of about 0.1atm, or about 1.5 PSI

[u/EraseAnatta → u/RoboDae]

You're technically correct, the best kind of correct.

[u/Pbone15 → u/lockerno177]

The point still stands that the water is applying a lot more pressure to these windows than air would otherwise

[u/TrustGullible6424 → u/Pbone15]

Only about 10% more pressure on even the larger window. Now, due to the total area of water pressure that is still potentially several tons of additional force- but nothing compared to what people seem to be imagining here.

[u/Pretend_Purchase_893 → u/TrustGullible6424]

I think several tons of force is about what we're all thinking here. That's a fun king huge amou t

[u/Ferenc9 → u/Suspicious_Glow]

Water pressure from a ~2m high column plus some extra because of the sloshing around, that's about 0.2 bar or 3 PSI, not that high.

[u/Kind_Substance_8981 → u/Suspicious_Glow]

Sorta, but not really. Water pressure doesn't happen horizontally- it's all vertical (so you'd need the same size dam to hold back a tall column of water versus a whole lake). Those windows are 2 meters down at most, which means they're getting about .2 atm, maybe a bit more from waves/current. Round up to .5 atm. That pressure itself is not remotely exotic, construction-wise.

For a meter-square window that's only ~5 tons across the whole assembly. If we're assuming the window is 4-inch acrylic, those windows and mounts can safely hold 1-2 atm, or ~20 tons. That's the low end, and it's accounting for things like creep, scratches, crazing, temperature, manufacturing defects, and long-duration loading. Real tolerance is much higher, practically. If those windows are even sorta rated for submersible use, that guy is totally fine. And I'm assuming they are, since if those were normal house windows, they'd have broken a while ago.

[u/ArsenalSpider → u/Suspicious_Glow]

Nasty looking water too.

[u/Totally_man → u/Suspicious_Glow]

Yeah, that's a serious amount of force being held back by...glass. That glass will also be pretty angry and powered by mother nature's fury when it shatters.

[u/cobalt-radiant → u/Suspicious_Glow]

It actually isn't very much pressure at all. Water pressure depends on depth, and since you can see the water level, it's hardly any pressure. I'd be more worried about leakage through around edges.

[u/ShinyJangles → u/cobalt-radiant]

High chance of debris hitting the window at any point. I wouldn't stand near it

[u/cobalt-radiant → u/ShinyJangles]

Oh yeah, for sure! And then if the glass breaks, then you have a massive amount of water pouring in. That is where you'd get a lot of force!

[u/One-Web-2698 → u/cobalt-radiant]

In static water pressure depends on depth.

This isn't static water, it's monsoon wind driven water pressure, which has the potential to be significantly different.

In this case the water column is lateral, not vertical.

[u/daanh2004 → u/Totally_man]

Some people just have the survival instinct of a capibara.

[u/Any-Background-619]

Bruh has too much confidence in his disposable raincoat

[u/tmart016 → u/Any-Background-619]

Is there something better to wear when you're planning to axe a colleague in the living room?

[u/Alternative_Nerve272 → u/tmart016]

Let's see Paul Allen's submarine house...

[u/WanderingCatNPC]

Scary to see but at least he has his Zoltan space suit from Dude where's my car

[u/PhatCatTax → u/WanderingCatNPC]

sudden gesture!

ZOLTAN!

[u/--Sovereign-- → u/PhatCatTax]

Zoltaaaan!

[u/Pitiful_Palpitation9 → u/WanderingCatNPC]

Zoltan! 👆👇

[u/P00rSuggestions → u/WanderingCatNPC]

Zoltan!

[u/Fickle_Ad_8653 → u/WanderingCatNPC]

As a zoltan, can he power a room ?

[u/EishLekker]

So, is this a house built to be under water? And the water is usually clear enough to see through it, but the typhoon has made it all muddy?

Or is this a regular house that just happens to handle the rising water caused by the typhoon?

[u/Deep90 → u/EishLekker]

Are we sure OP didn't mean to say submerged house?

[u/Kaheri → u/EishLekker]

it must be the former, i could not begin to wrap my head around a regular house being anywhere resembling ok in this situation not in america no way.

[u/BugEyedBigSky → u/Kaheri]

I had to look it up - it was driving me nuts that there wasn’t any info in the description or comments haha.

I reverse google-searched a few stills from the video and apparently it was from ‘Typhoon Dolphin’ which just happened this week in a province in China (Wenzhou, Zhejiang).

This seems to be a higher end development and is therefore better-equipped to handle the insane amount of water and intense pressure differentials - but it doesn’t seem to be a house that is intentionally meant to be underwater.

Apparently it is the most powerful tropical storm to hit China so far this year. Over a million people have had to evacuate.

More videos of it here

[u/pepcorn → u/BugEyedBigSky]

Bless you for looking it up.

[u/potheadbill → u/BugEyedBigSky]

🫡

[u/PhasmaFelis → u/Kaheri]

I've seen a photo of this exact situation at a house in Florida.

[u/Loon_Cheese → u/Kaheri]

We have seen it in the us, but its not long term. The water pressure will win at some point. Im sure its like tech’s ip scale which is based on depth and exposure length

[u/-staccato- → u/EishLekker]

It's just a basement.

Look at the street view at the end.

[u/jossief1 → u/EishLekker]

If Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home has taught me anything, it's that ordinary glass would not survive this.

[u/Segundaleydenewtonnn]

Maybe i’m dumb but wtf is happening, i mean, submarine house? Like what does that even mean? Can someone explain what am i watching

[u/Indigo-Saint-Jude → u/Segundaleydenewtonnn]

remember when you could open a thread and the context would be in the first comment? those were the days...

[u/DollarsPerWin → u/Indigo-Saint-Jude]

Yup, now everyone wants to be fun lnt with their unwitty one liners and meme. I get secondhand embarrassment.

[u/thisremindsmeofbacon → u/Segundaleydenewtonnn]

sub-marine just meaning its under water. Technically the whole house is not submerged, but close enough

[u/Top-Expert6086 → u/thisremindsmeofbacon]

That would be submerged.

A submarine is a vehicle.

[u/Orleanian → u/Top-Expert6086]

A submarine is a long sandwhich with cold cuts cheese and veggies you doofus.

[u/Pretzel911]

Good thing he opted for the submarine house, would have been really bad if he only had the abovemarine house

[u/saevon → u/Pretzel911]

you mean a supermarine house? I think thats just halo, or maybe 40k

[u/hoochi10]

Good thing he’s already wearing a poncho

[u/Fluffy-Trouble5955 → u/hoochi10]

I mean is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?

[u/HVAChelpprettyplease → u/Fluffy-Trouble5955]

Zappa in the wild!?!

[u/ArkSyil]

This is a basement of a villa in China, Zhejiang Province. Freshly posted too - the typhoon Dolphin just hit the region these two days. The owner is fine.

[u/MrFoxx123]

A what house now?

[u/demomagic → u/MrFoxx123]

A house of lies

[u/llobotommy → u/MrFoxx123]

Hello. How are you? I am under the water. Please help me. Here too much raining woOoooOo

[u/magirevols]

The title got me excited for houses that are submarines

[u/TheReverendCard]

No water inside. Lights are on.
Imagine if all our houses were built this nice of quality. Holy crap.
Give that builder and the engineers a tip!

[u/octoreadit]

How is water not seeping into the space??

[u/Reckless_Waifu → u/octoreadit]

Probably built waterproof since it's in a flood region? But that's a bit extreme.

[u/DiabolicalSpaceKitty → u/Reckless_Waifu]

As it turns out, so are floods

[u/smallbiceps90]

As others have said, a what? In any case why would you even risk that? I hope you have some quick escape route off camera

[u/Reckless_Waifu → u/smallbiceps90]

Quicker than a water bursting through a broken window? Doubt.

[u/sctthuynh → u/smallbiceps90]

Probably way too late for that. With the height of that water, unless he has a second or third floor he's not getting out without all that water getting in.

[u/AKA_Wildcard]

I want the name of his contractor.

[u/Zestyclose_Fruit_766]

a what house?

[u/Bonelesswater567]

Hope no piece of debris is going to crash into these windows

[u/CantAffordzUsername]

“Gentleman…its been a privilege playing with you tonight”

[u/kevlar51]

At least close the blinds!!

[u/FleshyCarbonThing → u/kevlar51]

Ignorance is bliss lol

[u/daswunderful]

How the heck this guy have power underwater?! Someone sneezes to hard in my town and I lose power on a crystal clear, blue sky day

[u/xlouiex]

Isn’t this just a stationary boat at this point?

[u/Advancelegend6]

is this a normal house in an area where the flooding is so much that it is submerged or it is naturally built at a lower level and whatever it is how are they gonna fix this? just wait for the water to drain out or evaporate lmao

[u/Dangermann28]

I'm sorry a fucking what house?

[u/oritfx]

Lights on

Dry interior

Windows withstanding pressure way beyond what they need to

Records everything on a mobile computer with a camera built in

We've truly come far as a species.

[u/normieIsCool]

Back in my day, we used to have a dude explaining context

[u/Lukee67]

What the heck is a submarine house? And, honestly, would you want to stay in it during a typhoon? Do you really think it would be safer than a conventional house? Aren't there many more things bound to go catastrophically wrong in a submarine house?!?!

[u/khadaffy]

My dumbass read submarine mouse, and I watched the video 3 times looking for the damn mouse.

[u/neon_nightmare85]

My first thought was, " Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"

[u/IAMSNORTFACED]

Submarine house?

[u/AssemblagePoint420]

Ummmmm….tf is a submarine house?
Like, is it submarine cause it’s specifically engineered to withstand being submerged or is the simple fact that it is now underwater make it “submarine” ?

[u/wolflegend19i]

What is the hell is a submarine house?

[u/steady_as_a_rock]

They are okay as long as they keep filming, we all know the cameraman never dies.

[u/Ownuyasha]

Dang rich people stuff is crazy

[u/DiamonDawgs]

I assume it specialized flood glass, I hope

[u/bionicjoe]

Not impressive.
It's not even fully submerged. The destroyer house at block B2 will see it and sink it easily.

Looks more like the submerged decks of a cruiser house.

Anyway I gotta go complain to the HOA. The carrier house is parked diagonally, and that's bullshit.

[u/marblechocolate]

I would like the name of your Builder and window installer please.

[u/piercedmfootonaspike]

r/killthecameraman

[u/nicmakaveli]

What is a submarine house?

[u/karkonthemighty]

I know, logically, that closing the blinds would do nothing.

I would still close the blinds.

[u/paxrom2]

wouldn't it be cheaper to build a house above the flood plain.

[u/anemoGeoPyro]

I need the number for that contractor.

[u/ScaryTemperature6291]

Yeah not even a million would get me to stay there I wouldn't trust those windows lol.

[u/Who_Your_Mommy]

Does that home have its own conference room or something?

[u/LEEALISHEPS]

Pro Tip: Don't open your window.

[u/my4leaves-7]

Here I am focusing on how many chairs there are.

[u/kruzibit]

Sound like they are speaking Chinese regional dialect. Need to find out who did window, really water tight.

[u/JulesSilverman]

His name is Spongebob.

[u/Exciting_Penalty_512]

Thats.....a lot of faith in the builders...

[u/CaptainPugwash75]

Water weighs a ton per meter squared. Get away from that window.

[u/Mitridate101 → u/CaptainPugwash75]

Cubed

[u/TheRealVulle]

I would just roll down the blinds, and go back to bed pretending I didn't see that. 

[u/TheTBass]

The house from the Flex Seal Flood video

[u/Thadeadpool]

Name the window company i need them for my Zombie apocalypse bunker

[u/Awkward-Toe-1079]

Sound proof too?!? and the lights still working?? and take that rain coat off, silly

[u/Fritzo2162]

They used Flex Seal on that house.

[u/mckham]

This is probably AI, fake . Lots of people are in trouble in China for passing these videos to get traffic on their social media.

[u/Shankar_0]

You should be running...

[u/RandomedXY]

I can understand the windows holding back the water without breaking—that’s impressive, but not impossible. What I don’t understand is how they still have electricity and there are no visible leaks coming from other areas.

[u/Allesstein]

The fuck is a submarine house?

[u/Shallow-Depths]

What the fuck is a submarine house? Fuck this guy, I don’t care what happens to his stupid underwater house.
Rich as fuck asshole should’ve got denied underwater typhoon insurance because he built a fucking house in underwater typhoon town.
I hope his house gets flooded with decayed whale bits.
Fuck em.

[u/Used-Wrongdoer-9360]

I wish I had the faith in Humanity that Abdul here has in that window

[u/Durutti1936]

Get on the roof

[u/Monstramatica]

Now I want this underwater/submersible bunker.

[u/jaklacroix]

This should be an ad for whoever installed the windows!!

[u/The_only_true_tomato]

Don’t stay in the house. Damn it.

A branch passes though, it breaks. Or simply pressure weakening structure over time. It breaks and this guy is dead.

[u/GovernmentData]

Pretty impressive!…until a tree trunk or car comes floating in

[u/newbies13]

I mean its actually a pretty bad ass view if it was intentional and built to make it as safe as possible. As is all I can think is... why are you there? Like what an insane risk to take with your life or your families lives.

[u/Shumatsu_Samurai]

I would just snap a picture and be out of there ASAP.

[u/YeaImStoned]

I’m less worried about the pressure of water and more worried about random objects hitting the window the water may be carrying

[u/Acceptable-Net-154]

That holding window is giving you time to grab your pets, loved ones, valuables and irreplaceable items. It may only take one drifting item hitting the window in the wrong place to make standing around relaxed a really expensive and risky mistake to make.
