How the hell does Indiana Jones survive the U-boat trip to the secret nazi submarine base?

How the hell does Indiana Jones survive the U-boat trip to the secret nazi submarine base?

From IMDB.

There is a deleted scene in which you see Indy holding on to the periscope, which is sticking out of the water. Early submarines generally traveled the oceans on the surface of the water under diesel power, which requires access to the air for inlets to the engines. They could only travel short distances under water, as this required electric propulsion and the battery power of the submarine did not last very long. German U-boats would only submerge when they'd attack surface ships. However, there would generally be four or five crewman on the conning tower as lookouts. U-boats generally would submerge to a depth of roughly 12 meters, deep enough to see out the periscope. In the novelization, Indy lashed himself to the periscope with his bullwhip and rode/dozed through 20 frigid hours in oceanic water. In the movie, we never see the sub fully submerge, so are left with the conclusion that Indy rode on the top, a more believable scenario than riding it underwater without freezing or drowning.

How did Indy know not to look into the Ark when it was opened?

A deleted scene was shot where Imam, the wise man translating the markings on the headpiece of the Staff of Ra also translates another set of markings, which gives a warning about not looking into the Ark. Since this scene is not in the movie, it is a little confusing as to how Indy knew that he could only survive the opening of the Ark by closing his eyes. Perhaps he simply remembered the picture of the Ark he showed to the army officers; in it, an entire army is decimated, but the people carrying the Ark remain unaffected. So he may have concluded that opening the Ark is not necessarily deadly to anyone in close proximity, and that it is the visual contact that was deadly. Another option is that he remembered a relevant passage from the Bible (1 Samuel 6:19), where God "smote" the men of Beth Shemesh for looking into the Ark. Plus, there's a brief moment when Marcus Brody says the light from the Ark could lay waste to everything it touched, further warning of the Ark's power.

Indiana Jones played such a huge part in my development..I must've worn the tapes out for Raiders and Temple of Doom...and of course Goonies, Terminator, and Swiss Family Robinson.

So why are we so bitter towards the Giants again? Listen, I used to hate the Giants too, but that was mainly because of that anonymous fan who was such a homer that he claimed Tiki Barber was a hall-of-famer. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. But everyone is bitter towards the Giants and I don't see why.

Remember your priorities

Remember that the Cowboys are PUblic Enemy #1

Because Wellington's Brat helped bring "penalties" upon us for a violation that doesn't exist and in the process hindering RG3's development by not allowing us to provide him with the necessary personnel.

Speaking of tapes, my little nephew was complaining about why it is taking so long for The Avengers to come out on Blu-Ray. I was like, boy you got it good. Back in the days, it used to take like 2 years for a movie to come out on VHS. Spoilers were impossible to avoid during that time. If you didn't see it in the theaters, you were short.
