    That has got to be the scariest position ever for the co-driver. He has to rely on the driver to be able to get out before he could. Scary stuff being underwater.

    Now I am usually the first one to say I hate nannies in cars, but that guy sure as heck should have had a nanny switched on. :crazy:

    Drivers skill trumps nanny. :yesnod:

    Co-driver was pulling his belts real tight, while yelling at the driver & taking a huge gulp of air all at the same time. :eek6:

    Was the driver texting and not see those barricades?
    That was not a soft landing, water doesn't compress.

    I would assume so. Figured since the video was posted on line it ended well for the crew.

    That car did not look that dirty to deserve that high speed flip over car wash. :lol:

    Glad they are both ok.
