doubled every minute, Wellinghoff said, a person chained to the highest
seat would be in danger of drowning in an hour.”

A drop of water is ~1/20 ml, so after 5 minutes, that’s 1.6 ml dropping per minute. By 10 minute, 51.2 ml. By 20 minute, 52 liters (13.6 gallons). By 30 minute, 53,687 m3 (~21 Olympic swimming pools). By 1 hour, 57,646,075,230 (57 billion) m3.

I reckon that is many times the volume of a football stadium. Per Wikipedia, the Wembley soccer stadium bowl is 1,139,100 m3, so ~50,606 smaller.
