So, Brian “Jumps to Conclusions to Support My Own Pre-Determined Bias” Brawdy - can we pretty much assume that when they finally get through the murky water and start pulling bodies out of cars, that none of them will be wearing seatbelts?

No, but it's a darn fine chance that each person who did escape from their car after it hit the water was wearing their seatbelt. It's a logical fallacy to assume that if x=y then z=/=y.

Those who both wear seatbelts and those who do not wear seatbelts die in accidents such as this. Those who wear seatbelts have a dramatically improved chance to survive accidents such as this.
