charlie would't have drowned. The water would have flooded up to the window, and then stopped, leaving air above. That's physics folks.

maybe he made it then ... ? well , anything is possible on Lost ... and one other point is the average Joe doesn't know all those facts about closing /sealing a door and stuff like that . But the theory that he did it so Desmond's vision would not be altered is the most believable under these circumstances .
