Cat Causes Crash
FT. MEYERS, Florida- A feral cat jumped through a soccer mom's minivan window and caused her to crash through a wall, then into a swimming pool. Ben Finkelstein was sitting on his patio when Leda Alpert came crashing in. "Never saw anything like it. You should have seen those kids scramble out. Sadie (Mrs. Finkelstein) gave 'em towels and bagels and they settled down." The feral cat escaped, too. "We've got to get that thing now that my wall is down. I've got no protection."

I did find mythbusters tried to open both manual and electric windows but did it by laying a car on its side and putting 350lbs of sand bags on the window (supposedly to mimic the pressure the water would exert) but that's not a valid test IMO.
In any case, the motors would work ok, but the ECU's are doubtful IMO.

You have a good point about the ECU.
They did several tests with the windows, and one was with the car door from a Tarus under water, it was in a kiddy pool with a car battery hooked up to the wire harness, so no ECU was involved.
Personally I just dont worry about it, my debt was paid 2,000 years ago so when its time its time.
