   It was in the videos so look for them but you can think about it.   
      
   You already agree there's about a thousand pounds against the door.   
   Why wouldn't there be about a thousand pounds against the window?   
   (the actual pressure depends on the area - but go with the idea)   
      
   Certainly the same pressure per square inch against the door is against the   
   windows once the water gets to that level so the question is really what   
   happens to your car windows when you force them with appreciable force   
   sideways?   
      
   I don't know the answer but the expert's suggestion is don't wait until it   
   actually happens to find that out as these people may very well have done   
   this week.
