At the end of that video it's written - this is an unplanned attraction for foreign participants of Baikal Cup of ice boating. At the beginning - Russian saying "to whom it's a fire, to whom it's having a worm".
In the Spring of 1965, we got a new 1965 Chevrolet squad car for my beat. Of course the cars were assigned to a beat and were used on that beat by all 3 shifts. The second night I had that car, it was raining when I went off duty at 11 p.m. And the two officers who relieved me and my partner drove north on Marsh Lane . . . . and were washed off the road into a creek. They barely got out of the car alive, but both did survive. The car was submerged. The next day the flood water receded, the car was winched out of the creek with hardly a scratch on it. They washed it, inside and out, drained everything, left it sitting out with all 4 doors open until it pretty dried out, refilled all the fluids, and put it back in service. And for the rest of the year, it spent most of its time in the shop, with repairs that undoubtedly cost twice as much as another new car would have cost.
Where's the punch line?
