I like what this guy said: "Everyone with some smart arse comment realizes, of course, they were caught when a levee broke and flooded them. Might as well try and use the means you have to get out of the situation until you get help."

It would explain why (if you look back at the beginning of the video), there is NO place where there isn't a large amount of water.



These guys didn't do it on purpose. They got trapped there and decided they might as well keep driving while the truck is running.....

Something similar happened after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Some national guardsmen got their truck stuck while transporting congressman Jefferson to his home (which was loaded with hidden cash from bribes).  Well they got stuck too.   Prosecutors ended up finding hundred of thousands of dollars in cash in the freezer.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

You really don't believe that do you? "If" a levee broke and flooded the area to that degree, fast enough so they got trapped with their engines still running, the water would have been moving at a pretty rapid pace and not standing still. These guys were trying to be cowboys and it didn't work out.

I'm going to let this debate die. The levee broke a few hours before that. They took what they thought to be the best route out.

I'm done arguing.

It's like winning in the Special Olympics...you're still retarded.

I like to point out things.

I didn't hate on those with special needs, yet those who act like they should be in that category. One of my best friends had down syndrome when I was in high school. I helped him mom around the house.

It doesn't take "much" to get a diesel to operate underwater. A snorkel and extended breathers are the only real necessity to do it occasionally,  Point is that these trucks do not have it.
whats that behind the cab?
