With the windows down, I think may he had planned on escaping - alone or with Juliani - and didn't make it out. The water is reportedly swift, deep, and cold.
Another thing to consider is that the car probably was not originally sucked into the siphon right away, IMHO.
Please forgive my ignorance since I haven't followed the case from the beginning, however, is it the common belief that this was an accident, or that he purposely drove the car into the canal? I could see him trying to make it appear that he and Juliani went down with the car but at the last minute escaped before the car went into the water.......or at least Jose could have. The farm worker believes two people were in the car so it seems possible Jose didn't get out in time. I am curious if there has been any statement as to how fast the car was going when it went in. :waitasec: MOO
