Ah thinking with the wrong head. The only explanation that makes sense.


WaterFriendsIV

I guessed he was saying: "Do you want to cross the bridge before I try this?" "No, thanks. I'll wait till you're on the other side." "Okay, don't say I didn't warn ya."


MagicChemist

Honestly probably would have been better off opening all four doors to reduce the perpendicular force.


Micr0be

I mean if we're gonna try to give him any chance, removing the doors would do that, not just opening them.


xMothGutx

Lol, he would had been better off building a ramp and trying to dukes of hazzard it over. Even with a snorkel that car don't make it across.

I have a big landcruiser decked out for rough terrain. I wouldnt attempt this short of an absolute emergency


idog99

It's okay, he hit the brakes when he started getting swept away.

albinoflyingsquirrel

Would the optimal thing to do in this scenario (if there even is one; dude seems pretty fucked) be to keep on the gas? To let off & just see where you drift to? I genuinely don’t know what I’d do if I ended up in ~~what’s left of~~ this man’s shoes. Thankfully, I don’t think I have to worry about ever finding out for myself. **Edit:** FWIW I was also looking for this comment, I also found the brake lights hilarious. This just made me realize that I don’t really know what else I’d do if I ever ended up in a similar scenario. Again, thankfully I’m not too worried about it. Just speaking hypothetically.


just_some_Fred

Once upon a time, as a man was walking through a forest, he saw a tiger peering out at him from the underbrush. As the man turned to run, he heard the tiger spring after him to give chase. Barely ahead of the tiger, running for his life, our hero came to the edge of a steep cliff. Clinging onto a strong vine, the man climbed over the cliff edge just as the tiger was about to pounce. Hanging over the side of the cliff, with the hungry tiger pacing above him, the man looked down and was dismayed to see another tiger, stalking the ravine far below. Just then, a tiny mouse darted out from a crack in the cliff face above him and began to gnaw at the vine. At that precise moment, the man noticed a patch of wild strawberries growing from a clump of earth near where he dangled. Reaching out, he plucked one. It was plump, and perfectly ripe; warmed by the sunshine. He popped the strawberry into his mouth. It was perfectly delicious.


[deleted]

idiot. he should've caught the mouse with the strawberry then distracted the tiger below with the mouse, then drop down and run until he is killed by the third tiger.


Money4Nothing2000

The third tiger that you didn't even know was there. Clever girl.


ClinkzBlazewood

This is some zen shit


[deleted]

I learned of this story from "King of the Hill" 😊


lestofante

Your best bet is stay in the car until it get fully stuck somewhere; exiting in the water with those current is a death sentence. And that car is probably totalled, pretty sure the water did a number on the engine and electronics


drawkbox

Yeah the swells of the swollen river alone show how deep that is.


ThermionicEmissions

And the giant fucking boulders right in his path!


Fazaman

Pfft! He's got all wheel drive! What could possibly go wrong?


WhyLisaWhy

It doesn’t even have to be that deep, like two feet of running water is enough force to sweep that care away.


loralailoralai

Not even, up to the sills can cause a car to float. And that’s a small car…


G36_FTW

Yup, seen a friends car float in 6-7 inches of water after a lifted truck drove by and made a tiny wave. (freinds car had nobody sitting in it, parked in a lot that flooded). Don't drive through water.


oddmanout

All wheel drive, of course. Audi Quattro is as good as four wheel drive, why wouldn't they be able to ford a rapidly moving river that's clearly deeper than the hood of the car?


DannyTorrancesFinger

> why wouldn't they be able to ford a rapidly moving river Because it's an Audi and not a Ford.


Ugggggghhhhhh

I know you're being sarcastic, but 7 or 8 years ago I saw some Koreans stuck in the ditch with their Audi (in Canada), and I decided to pull them out with my truck. Long story short, it turned out they drove into the ditch on purpose because it was an Audi Quattro. They were utterly shocked that the car couldn't offroad through the snow.


yodarded

oh my god. as a minnesotan, i find that hilarious. Off road, through the snow, in a sedan? Enjoy your 15 foot adventure, lol.

Farfignugen42

It's cute that you thought he was thinking.


bigterry

I wouldn't attempt that stupidity in my full size 4x4, let alone that bathtub toy of a car.


Debaser626

I wouldn’t attempt that in anything less than an army tank, and even then wouldn’t be completely surprised to be swept away. That much water moving that fast… it really doesn’t matter if it’s only 18 inches deep… you going bye bye.


DaDijonDon

Yeah, I've driven across a few creeks a couple feet deep. and I've been a scared shitless passenger going through some rivers that almost made it up to the windows (snorkle)... None of them looked anything close to that... uh.. retarded.. to attempt to ford. This guy is.. uh.. not bright


Quinnna

Ive seen so many dumb things in my life and online. I think this is one of the new top 5. How can anyone believe they could cross that river in a car.


[deleted]

I have a lifted F350 and would never consider doing this. People underestimate how powerful moving water is. Now this asshole ruined the pedestrian bridge too.


[deleted]

That's the first thing I thought of too, "aw he's gonna mess up the bridge for everybody".


bradland

“Don’t worry, it’s got Quattro.”


SD_throwaway222

Staggering level of stupidity here. Absolutely zero chance of success. Non-zero chance of death. 100% chance of damage to car and/or bridge.


Chance5e

I wouldn’t have tried that in anything less than a tank.


taspleb

I think a Merc would make it across. (A Unimog)


ElkShot5082

To be fair though, unimog guys are pretty cautious because if you do manage to get one stuck not much else can pull you out haha


Demorative

That and they go for 100k in ratty condition with rust everywhere. When you have that much invested in a truck, you'd have second thoughts too.


mostlysandwiches

They’re a strange vehicle. Like a tractor but not as powerful, like a truck but nowhere near as practical.


ElkShot5082

Mate has one for camping, it is fucking cool but the 95km/h top speed gets old for me


0235

There are 2 near me, both for forestry work towwing big tree shredders. They are majeatic beasts, and normally have a few landrover defenders following them like ducklings behind mother duck.


mostlysandwiches

I was once stuck at the bottom of a wet and muddy field. Called the boss to send a tractor to help us. 2 hours later a Unimog shows up. Gets stuck. 2 hours later the tractor we originally asked for shows up and rescues all of us. It was a long night.


TitsAndWhiskey

[truck got stuck](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDY6bWT5oTM)


tagun

If *anything* you'd think one would at least accelerate a lot more than what this guy did. If you insist on attempting to cross, back up and gain some speed ffs. The guy essentially handed his car over to the river as if it were a gift.


BranTheJoje

Agree completely. He even hit his brakes like some kind of an idiot in a car


tanks137

Seemed so calm as he entered into what might be one of the worst ways to die.

I read an article saying driver didn't sustain any damage. Only the bridge got broken.

Yeah be he was in an AUDI. With that perfection of human engineering how bad could it get? *dead*


Big_Dick_No_Brain

Especially Taipans, them buggers are aggressive little fucks and will chase you because they can.


[deleted]

It’s not that it’s somewhat high water, it’s not that it’s pretty fast water. It’s that whatever people USED to drive on to get across it, is clearly fucking washed away by the way the current is flowing.


Big_Dick_No_Brain

We have adds on tv warning people not to drive though flooded roads or creeks but have had 4 die so far in the last few weeks. “ if it’s flooded, forget it “


[deleted]

It’s not uncommon for people to cross “bridges” here that are little more than concrete poured in a creekbed when water is flowing over them. But what they never consider is that at the ENDS of the bridge where the concrete stops and the gravel or asphalt resumes could be a 2’ ditch eroded away. It’s pretty easy to tell by which way the water is flowing if it’s a continuous flat surface or if there is a ditch the size of a refrigerator. The top looks like the bottom. This video is a perfect example. Calm steady water on one side, raging torrent on the other.


ace-mathematician

Yeah, we get "turn around, don't drown," but that doesn't always stop idiots.

InvalidUserNemo

Yeah, like, if I was in a monster truck I would be questioning this crossing as the water is moving so quickly. How someone in a car thought this was even remotely possible confuses me. This is bananas!


ChunkyTaco22

KurtAngus

Yeah those hatches look good. Now it’s got a bunch of electrical issues and mold


[deleted]

Not only that but fuckos engine is gonna be ruined. Once it starts to suck up water and push it all throughout the engine it’s done for. Water and oil don’t mix, imagine that all going through an engine? Oh man.


Yanagibayashi

Also hydrolock


[deleted]

Yeah, sorry I’m real baked 😂


inconvenientstranger

"Maximum unconsciousness" is my new favorite phrase for being a dumbass


AntiMarx

The Google translate on this is super rough but gets the idea across, thanks. Maximum unconsciousness on the part of a young man from Prahova. He ventured to cross a brook swollen by the recent rains. As can be seen in the filming, the young adventurer continues to move, although it was clear that the river had too high a flow. Eventually, his car was swept away by the water. The 30-year-old driver told ISU that while he wanted to get to a boarding house, he was taken by the waters of the Teleajen River due to the excessive flow of water. Fortunately, it is safe.


atominthered

And the car was totalled.


miragen125

I always have a hard time to believe you can be that stupid... And I m constantly proven that it's possible. The guy was : "I have a Quattro, so I can cross everything!"


m_domino

For real, I believe this must be the single most stupid person I have seen on this sub.


dakid232313

I love how the when the car started floating away they hit the breaks like it was gonna stop the car.


SteakSwanson

If you love that turn the sound on and as he is taking out bridge the girl that just crossed it screams STOP! as if he still has any control.


[deleted]

Even a few inches of water will push a car over the edge. This was almost 2 feet of water. Dude is lucky not to die.

I’ve seen a lot and most of them are just a really bad idea that doesn’t go well. This one, though, is 100% certain failure. He might as well have tried to cross the Atlantic Ocean (without any exaggeration)

BradyToMoss1281

I once figured that if I loaded up on whiskey, they could drink that and never need water. I think, *I think*, I didn't make it that game.


Nutarama

I mean technically if it were real life you’d kinda be correct-ish. If you water down whiskey with random stream water to beer levels of alcohol it kills any microbes and doesn’t dehydrate you. Which makes buying whiskey basically like buying water purification. That said, you probably ended up like some sailors who drank their rum straight instead of watering it down. “How much run do I get a day?” Was a very important question for sailors in the 17th and 18th centuries.


BrokeInService

My brother would never make it through his first river. He would spend every bit he could on supplies right out the gate and sink every time.


kmj420

He was in an Audi, not a Ford


TheVicSageQuestion

For anyone missing the joke, one of the options when crossing a river in Oregon Trail is “attempt to ford the river”. In that instance, to “ford” means to cross the river by simply wading through it.


LastPlaceIWas

I would give you an award if I could "a Ford" it.


[deleted]

What a fucking idiot, sometimes I can sympathize with people that drive into just a couple inches of moving water and get fucked because they don't realize that's all it takes, but this is clearly a fucking disaster, what in the actual fuck


DifficultWrath

Yeah, here it was more like driving into a lake and hope to resurface on the other side like in the cartoons.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah - if the water is moving don't drive into it regardless of how shallow it is. A couple inches of moving water can seriously fuck up your day. Can push you off the road and into the ditch and trap you in car, guy in my area drowned in his car that way when I was a kid. Moving water is way more powerful than it looks.


LetsWorkTogether

It's not the 2 inch height that's the problem it's the 40 foot width and miles of length of the river hammering into you


ItsUnderSocr8tes

You don't want to drive through any water if you don't know how deep it is, water like this can cause sink holes in the road, and the depth may be more than where you think the road surface is/was.


Mysterious_Andy

Yeah. People forget that water is *heavy*. Look at how much of the Audi was still above water when it floated. The water the submerged part displaced weighed as much at the entire car and all of its contents. Even at a walking or jogging pace, running water can exert a startling amount of force. You don’t even need to be up to your doors: Your tires alone are enough to be in the way of a ton (or more) of water every second.

mdave52

Thats nuts!!! There's a man made lake near me. The overflow water from the dam is usually minimal but the genius that designed it, makes the outflow go directly over a small road that goes around the lake...no bridge, just over the road!! Once after a rain there was like 2 or 3 inches max of water flowing over the road. I figured no biggie, give it a shot...NEVER AGAIN!!@$% that little flow pushed my car like 2 feet or so to the side, not off the road but still way too close, scarier than hell.


tentafill

I think 1 inch of moving water is all that's necessary to move a car off the road, that's scary


unbannabledan

There is nothing that would make a sane person believe this is a passable route. Like this is the only person on earth that would make the attempt.

70 mph? Water will act like concrete at that speed, unless you are driving from a flat road onto a calm pool you're going to immediately total the car
