The water level rises at a rate of 1 foot per minute, so by 8:06 the room is completely flooded with water and you drown and die before 8:15.

No, quantum immortality claims that you won't drown even if the room gets flooded with certainty. You'll be saved by a quantum-fluctuation air bubble or something.

Right, QI says that you will not die.
