Did Teddy’s car ever “fill to the brim”? I thought there was that air pocket. That air bubble wasn’t replaced by water, but by CO2.
I don’t know. There was an air poocket — large at first. As water seeped in and filled the car (for about 4 hours?), the air pocket at the top became smaller and smaller. This is how the movie portrayed it. I expect that the “air” in the small pocket was C02.
Two medical examiner / coroner types at the accident scene made conflicting statements. One waid drowning. The other said suffocation or asphyxiation.
