Red face discovery vs irenes flood waters

Truck Stuck - YouTube

not my video or discovery but it makes a point (even though i would have done the exact same thing) how ever this video would have been awesome if the driver succeeded *truck did have a snorkel but as we all know thats not enough for our petrol V8's

Yeah, it was cool the first run, but he deserved to get stuck the second run. Always check your vehicle after a deep water crossing!!! Allow it to dry before the next! Showing off is fun, but don't press your luck.

I've done much deeper than that, for a much longer extended period of time. It's not impossible in a V8. The snorkel was rather useless in that situation.


However doing it with water running that fast sideways is dumb, despite the fact that he didn't get swept away.

He should have left well enough alone.

He was going to fast.

If he has a dizzy once that gets wet you are dead in the water.

He should have just made the first crossing and kept on going.

You can almost hear his sphincter snap shut when his disco dies.
