Very nearly won a Darwin Award, they did. Scared the bejeezuz out of the Engineer, too, he thought he'd killed them both. Hope they are glad to be alive to pay the fines the Judge will hand down....

I feel sorry for the engineer. What is even more scarier is knowing that those twats are in control of a car. Just what are they like on the road?

I hope that no 1 follows this Street View image,

or they may wind up in the same condition.

Cheers.

Thankfully, no fatalities

Unfortunately in this case...

No reports as to the cause as yet.

Don't the crews know their own waters?

Another case of profits before safety

"The incident took place... when the boat hit a reef and sank," AFP was told by one official."
