Default Once in keep going

What was the rest of the story? As the text points out this was not a planned fording, I would say the crew had no idea how deep the water was when they started in. But once in the drive just kept his foot down, wonder how close they came to the top of the snorkel? The two guys in back were obviously getting ready to swim for it when their seats went under.

Good work for a lucky crew, in perspective they probably were not in any more danger than a regular emergency run on clear dry day. People not yielding to emergency vehicles or not hearing them is probably a much greater risk.

Thanks for sharing the video

Cheers Phil
