Drowning is a horrible way to die! First you hold your breath for as long as you can. Then after a few minutes, your body's reflexes force you to take a breath. Water then shoots down into your lungs. You feel the pain of the salt water going down the wrong pipe. Your body starts to violently shake as it involuntary panics. Finally you loose consciousness.
This brings up some issues that when the bible was written that it would seem reasonable to the people of that time. If they wrote that god merely "blinked" the bad people out of existence, those people might have dismissed the story. Yet when you add the component of a vengeful god, the people are scared not to believe as they are told. It is too much to ask to believe in a god that has the grace to create billions and billions of galaxies, yet, he resorts to barbaric and tortuous death for a few hundred million humans.
