      Think it’s probably more appropriate to say recover instead of rescue by this point. Unfortunately the Atlantic is pretty cold this time of year.

          So they’d free fall for ~3.4 seconds and hit water at around 75mph. That part could be survivable depending on angle of impact and safety features of the car. Assuming they survive impact, getting out in the dark with cold murky water coming in car and surviving the hypothermia as well and odds are slim to none.

        Minor correction, that’s not the Atlantic, it’s the Patapsco river which flows into the Chesapeake Bay.

        Still cold as shit and very likely those people are dead now unfortunately.

          There’s an outside possibility of revival if the water is cold enough and they’re found soon.

            Oh yeah, like that one child that was found under the ice in a lake frozen over. His body had gone into some extreme hibernative state.

            Sadly coast guard has always ceased calling it a rescue, it’s now a recovery operation
