Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    That is scary stuff 2 things:

    1) If you thought your jeep was about to get washed away would you really be falppin about with a purple umbrella :rolleyes:

    2) @ 3.10 it looks like that white car came off the bridge ( i have no sound) i really hope there was nobody in it!!


    Would love to know the actual timeframe of events as he seemed to start stop the camera a bit

    Jesus, if I were them I'd be less worried about the cars and more worried about myself!

    It looks like a footbridge and it came from the other side (and under the bridge)

    Heh true. Not right to laugh at people's misfortune obviously.. but a bit of common sense wouldn't have gone astray either.

    seems the guy in the jeep was turning in his front hubs. old style 4wd, according to some you-tube user.

    The Hilux is that last 4x4 I remember having it when sold new. I think it was phased out during the mid 90's but I'm open to correction

    The cars most likely would have been damaged by the water at that point.

    If it was public parking there would just be no way of contacting the owners, but if they were cars owned by people on the other side of the building from where this guy was filming then I'd bet they would be fair pissed off after watching that clip.

    I wonder what the timeline was, from when they first noticed that the water was rising until the cars were being swept away
