At least he somewhat knew what he was doing!

i knew from physics class to open windows (or doors if you're in your house) on opposite sides to equalize pressure inside the car or the house... that way your house doesn't explode because wind is gushing around your house at >80mph! Awesome video.. thanks for the upload!

"Why are you winding the window down?"
"Because I'm a know-all twit who thinks that this will equalize the pressure inside the car, when in actual fact what it will really do is enable the partly open window to shatter more easily, and thus shower us with broken glass."

Coming to a screen near you, the sequel to 1996's blockbuster hit, Twister. Brought to you by Jan de Bont, director of such great sequels as "Lara Croft: Cradle of Life" and "Speed 2: Cruise Control", comes this summers most anticipated film... "Twister 2: Wind Down Your Windows and Run for Your Life Bitches!"

#2 Your physics teacher could take some lessons from Myth Busters,it seems.
Knowledge is power and it can save your life.Your teacher should know better.

"Myth or Misconception #4 .... Opening windows to equalize air pressure will save a roof, or even a home, from destruction by a tornado.
The idea that moving one thin pane of glass is going to protect a roof or house from one of the most violent natural forces on the planet has a certain absurdity about it. It is probably born of wishful thinking and faulty logic, stemming from the need to do something .... anything. In reality, opening windows is a dangerous and useless waste of time, and could actually be harmful to the house.
To get to the very center of a mature tornado (where the pressure may be low enough to cause some explosive effects), the windows would have to endure 100-200 mph winds in the walls of the vortex. Those winds would be laden with boards, stones, cars, trees, telephone poles, and the neighbor's roof shingles as well as wind pressure of more than 100 pounds per square foot. This barrage would blow more than enough ventilation holes in the building to allow any pressure difference to be equalized.
If the home owner opens the wrong window, air can rush in and exert pressure on the structure from the inside--like blowing air into a balloon. It is unlikely that the resident knows where the construction weak points are. In addition, the wind fields in a passing tornado are very complex and constantly changing. It is not possible to predict the strongest direction of attack. The best advice from every engineer with whom the author has ever discussed this is to leave the windows alone and get into the basement or other shelter as fast as possible. One should not think first of the house roof, but of the impact of one's death on one's family, or of one's self unnecessarily crippled or scarred for life."

Well here's my comment.... he said equalize pressure inside the car in case we have to open the doors... meaning it would make it easier to open the doors for an emergency because the wind could make it too difficult for (especially the woman) to push the door open... he said we're in a glass cage... meaning something hits the car and it can be fatal for them... that's why he wanted to get out of the car which is extremely smarter than driving through it... the tornado launches tons of heavy debris and branches so its better to be safe.

Trying to talk rationally to a woman is like trying to breathe underwater....fraught with danger to put it mildly.
