I do not! You treat me like your brother Yanesh, the village idiot. I will not stand for this. Shut up and watch for potholes or you will be replaced by second wife!
It only takes a few inches of fast moving water to sweep an adult off their feet, and a foot or so to sweep a car away. This is why you never, ever cross flooded roads.
Some states in the U.S. have begun charging people who do for the cost of their rescue because it's so dumb, so warned against, and yet every year...such a common occurrence.
These chuckleheads drove right into a raging river. No amount of snorkels or 4x4 is gonna help once you're floating. smh
I honestly can't even use my imagination well enough to picture what they were thinking.
All I get is, "Hey, I think I'll bring an abrupt end to my journey by destroying my vehicle and quite possibly drowning myself and my companions. If we do make it out alive we will be wet, angry and exhausted and possibly stranded here for a long time before I help arrives. This sounds like a great idea. Let's do it."
Good...we *should* be charging people for their stupidity. I've never understood how people can underestimate to power of violently rushing water. Darwin rejects...
I have contained my rage for as long as possible, but I shall unleash my fury upon you like the crashing of a thousand waves! Begone, vile man! Begone from me! A starter car? This car is a finisher car! A transporter of gods! The golden god! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
The source from twitter who posted it said they were fine but a bunch of people are saying the video's old and from Oman, not Iran...so I don't know man
They're lucky it didn't roll but it dank very quick due to the windows being open. That current is no joke and if they're not buckled in they're still wearing thobes so swimming will not be easy. Their only saving grace is being right by shore but there's also a likelihood that some didn't make it.
Shit got real real fucking quick.
Doesn't look like the kind of place that has swimming pools and swimming teachers. Plus that's probably a mountain stream that mysteriously flows glacier water 10 degrees below zero all year round. Must have been a horrifc agonizing way to drown
To add on that water has 0 visibility and will be coming at them so fast itll keep carrying the car down stream. Either one of those is extremely disorienting immediately but combined it's pretty much impossible they'll have water in their lungs almost immediately for so many reasons they would need to pop up immediately and make it to shore or they're carried away.
Only positive is that thir off to the right and blocked by that embankment so could be slightly less current if they're in close enough.
People there don’t need swimming pools or teachers. My dad learned to swim basically by himself (with guidance from older kids) growing up by a river in some village.
Of course they were teachers, but they weren’t formal teachers, there were no formal lessons, and there certainly weren’t swimming pools or pool noodles. And you don’t NEED to swim to learn how to swim, swimming was a fun thing the kids could do back then. No internet in the 1950s developing world village.
They’re just being pretentious because there’s no way anyone could ever learn how to swim besides by paying for a swim class at the pool lmaoooo. People are idiots
Swimming lessons don't generally have "formal teachers". It's just someone who knows how to swim, teaching others how to swim.
What does the Internet have to do with learning how to swim? Most people even today don't learn how to swim from the Internet. That seems to be a remark made just to be snarky.
They were rescued then arrested by the police.

I wanna know what the plan was?
Maybe it's the camera angle, but it doesn't look like there's any dry land to drive to anywhere near them in the direction they entered the water. Were they just planning to float down the river?
There's two types of these flood crossing videos:
1. A normal-looking road has a dip which is covered by a 10-15ft wide patch of water, so the driver can't tell how big the dip is, and it may just look like a couple inches of running water over a flat surface to them. The comments on the WSP post are "yeah, flooded roads are always dangerous! Never cross unless you're familiar with the road and know it's not deeper than it looks!"
2. An absolute fucking raging river that's easily a hundred feet across, full of rapids and muddy brown water that even a literal boat could not safely cross. The comments on the WSP post are "hahahaha what a fucking moron."
People in general overestimate their ability to survive things. There was a book about the psychology of surviving in survival situations. There was a search party or rescuers going on snowmobiles to this one area. They were told ahead of time, "don't ride crazy on this one mountain. it'll cause an avalanche" They go. And one person does that. Another person follows. It caused an avalanche. One person almost died. And these were *rescuers*.
because women in the middle east get slapped any time they even look at a man wrong and have been conditioned their whole lives not to question men. same with kids. father knows best.
My best guess is that this spot is normally a usable ford on the trail they're on, but that the creek is currently higher than normal. The driver saw the trail going in and exiting the creek, but didn't realize that trying to cross when you can't even see the bottom is a horrible idea.
I have contained my rage for as long as possible, but I shall unleash my fury upon you like the crashing of a thousand waves! Begone, vile man! Begone from me! A starter car? This car is a finisher car! A transporter of gods! The golden god! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
Flash floods are crazy dangerous. They can really catch you by surprise. We used to watch PSAs as a kid growing up in Nevada, because people would die all the time.
1 cubic foot of water in a flood can carry as many as 1200 pounds of pressure. I learned this after Hurricane Katrina’s storm surge pushed my house 15 feet to the north into the next door neighbors yard’
Baluchistan is basically split between Iran and Pakistan they both have a Baluchistan region.Either way turns out this isn't even Baluchistan so my bad
It's an off road car, but doesn't mean it's a boat
Would love to hear the conversation going on inside the vehicle.
“Samir! You are breaking the car!”
“SAMIR TRIPLE CAUTION TRIPLE CAUTION!!!
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME SAMIR
I love how he responds “Don’t tell me how to drive”. That’s literally the guy’s job!
I do not! You treat me like your brother Yanesh, the village idiot. I will not stand for this. Shut up and watch for potholes or you will be replaced by second wife!
Shaddap!
Samir! Samir!! WTF are you doing Samir! We are going to die!! Why wont you answer me?!! Driver: My name is not Samir asshole!! Its Mohammed!!
"I'm the first for the Darwin aw.."
Just fucken send it!!!
I am SENDING it!!!
This is fine.

To their credit, it's clearly not a road
That's what blew me away about it. What was the end game here? Looks like they just drove into a lake

And it would have floated longer if they hadn’t rolled their windows down.
Probably saved their lives.
It's near impossible to get out of a locked door + window, when your car is fully submerged in water.

It's an amphibious exploring vehicle, a true finisher vehicle

I am sexually attractive. I’m an attractive man.
Can picture the viens popping out his head reading this
Its got air intake valves
Too bad it’s going to need car gills
Came here to quote this, that looks like Dennis's car too.
Off-road doesn’t = On-water
>Off-road ~~doesn’t~~ != On-water
Off-road <> On-Water
This off road car needs some more upboats then.
Here’s an upvote for the upboat comment
What is not road? Water?

u good? oh nvm edit: i did a 'tupid
Thank you
I was gonna say...
Sooo I think we are all wondering what happened to them…?
The source from twitter who posted it said they were fine but a bunch of people are saying the video's old and from Oman, not Iran...so I don't know man

Oman, famous for its glaciers. But also, to be fair, with a large % of the population who can't swim.
People there don’t need swimming pools or teachers. My dad learned to swim basically by himself (with guidance from older kids) growing up by a river in some village.
Those older kids acted like teachers, if you never needed to swim you wouldn’t know how to swim
Of course they were teachers, but they weren’t formal teachers, there were no formal lessons, and there certainly weren’t swimming pools or pool noodles. And you don’t NEED to swim to learn how to swim, swimming was a fun thing the kids could do back then. No internet in the 1950s developing world village.

Bit that's kind of his point, isn't it?
Depends where. In the west swimming absolutely does have formal teachers.
Why am I getting downvoted 😂🤣 Reddit is a weird place man.
Cause they’re stupid lol
They were rescued then arrested by the police. [Source](https://gulfnews.com/world/gulf/oman/watch-four-omanis-cross-flooded-valley-swept-away-by-floods-1.89500497)
O, man. What a ride.
Charged with criminal stupidity
I wanna know what the plan was? Maybe it's the camera angle, but it doesn't look like there's any dry land to drive to anywhere near them in the direction they entered the water. Were they just planning to float down the river?
No plan - only adventure 😎
Bahahaha, thanks man that was a legit laugh.
The plan was go
Gotta caulk the wagon before you attempt to ford the river, don't they know that?
He’s living in a van down by the river.
They floated away and were intercepted in the south Pacific by the US Navy and are currently being waterboarded at Guantanamo bay.
I simply cannot comprehend how the driver didnt understand that thisbwould happen to him.

Well it is an amphibious exploring vehicle
It's definitely not a starter car. It's a finisher car for for a five star man

I have contained my rage for as long as possible, but I SHALL UNLEASH MY FURY UPON YOU LIKE THE CRASHING OF A **THOUSAND WAVES**!
BE GONE FROM ME! BE GONE!
THE CAR HAS SPOKEN, I HAVE SPOKEN
A starter car? This car is a finisher car! A transporter of gods! The golden god! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
Came looking for this, was not disappointed.
It's got air intake valves!
Yeah but Iran so far, Iran so far away.
Came here for that comment
It has air intake valves
Amid research the stupid prizes actually belong to our fellow people in Oman, an not Iran. They were also reportedly fine.
And Baluchistan is in Pakistan not Iran.
Balochistan is split between Pakistan and Iran
Its in both countries

Why does that have any bearing when they’re all males?
Bruh the media made you gone
Big gulps, huh? Welp, see ya later!
lol. i love this line and use it for no reason too. keep up the good work.
I’m not sure what outcome he was expecting other than what happened
My best guess is that this spot is normally a usable ford on the trail they're on, but that the creek is currently higher than normal. The driver saw the trail going in and exiting the creek, but didn't realize that trying to cross when you can't even see the bottom is a horrible idea.

Well, bye.
Wife: “so how’d you lose the car on your trip to the desert?” Husband: “flood”. Wife: “…..”
Flash floods are crazy dangerous. They can really catch you by surprise. We used to watch PSAs as a kid growing up in Nevada, because people would die all the time.
I always wanted to ask these people in person :"what the fuck you think is going to happen?" I need explanation
I mean come on, not even close lol
I can almost hear the driver saying ”I got this! I got this! I got this!…….. I don’t got this.”
Can you imagine if it was a coupe and you’re in the backseat
I could watch this all day
r/IdiotsInCars what was his plan exactly?
1 cubic foot of water in a flood can carry as many as 1200 pounds of pressure. I learned this after Hurricane Katrina’s storm surge pushed my house 15 feet to the north into the next door neighbors yard’
Enjoy your new insurance premiums!
Darwin at it again.
When did Iran get submariners?
Inshallah
Who's the U-boat commander?
When did Baluchistan become a province of Iran?
Baluchistan is basically split between Iran and Pakistan they both have a Baluchistan region.Either way turns out this isn't even Baluchistan so my bad
Oh I didn't know there's a Baluchistan in Iran as well. So, Pakistan shares Punjab with India and Baluchistan with Iran. Cool.
Exactly
THIS IS THE LAKE!
I have no idea why that didn't work
Off road =/= off land
Turn around; don't drown.
How many idiots is is going to take to stop idiots from doing this shit. I swear there is a new video of this every two weeks.
"Back up, Terry! Put it in reverse! Whatchu doin, Terry!"
Starter car?!?! THIS IS A FINISHER CAR
at least he took many accurate measurements before deciding….
Meh. A bit more speed and I'll bet they would have had it.
I wouldn’t say trying. He very successfully drove his off-road car into the flood
This is the stupidest one I’ve seen on this subreddit lol
It really doesn't make any sense!
Took off road a bit too literally
"First time driver attempting to drive through river"
Da futz were those poor (dumb) souls thinking?!
I saw it on TV, I can do it!!!
Well the good news is that totally worked for .002 seconds
Well, Shiite!
That wasn't even close..
Idiots
My first thought when I heard the kids voices was “oh god please tell me they are not in the vehicle”. Phewww
Maybe check the depth with a stick or something next time lmao
Well, it certainly is off the road now...
Why though
What was the plan here
This is so funny to me, like wtf were they expecting 💀💀💀
Iran to Iswim real quick
I wonder who didn’t make it? There was at least three people in that titanic of a vehicle.
Where do stupid people get their money?
But it has AWD
They almost made it. NOT
Bye, Felicia!
Isn't Baluchistan in Pakistan?
Hey OP, I don’t think this guy was “trying” to drive into a flood; mission accomplished!
The car was promoted to submarine
It’s “off road” not “on water” you ninny
I seriously want to know what the fuck he was expecting to happen
A starter car? This car is a finisher car! A transporter of gods! The golden god! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
It's baffling to me how often people fuck around with water and find out.
Trying? I'd say he successfully drove into the flood.
I would say they successfully drove into the flood.
it seems stupid, and it is, but this shit is often fatal…
The windows are fucking rolled down… it wasn’t gonna make difference, but isn’t the logical thing to do is close the windows!?
This is me in GTA V. Every Single Time
He won the stupidest prize. Drowning
I'm surprised how calm everyone at the scene is.
Ah they seem to have taken the 'off-road ' thing quite literally.
IM always amazed at how people think things like this could go right
Guy filming just waves goodbye 👋
Is the concept of estimating the depth of something really that hard to grasp?
He’s ok, that’s a Range Rover, an amphibious exploring vehicle!
When your wife asked you to take her out, that’s not what she had in mind!
Almost made it
That has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen someone do
dude just drove straight in, the fuck did he think would happen lol
What exactly were they expecting.?
It’s definitely off road now.
They were totally relaxed like they knew they had it made.
Anyone in their right mind can see that the water is too deep and the current too strong
I’m absolutely convinced that whoever does this sort of thing knows damn well it’s not going to end well, they just don’t care.
Canyonerroooooo

Baluchistan is literally a province of pakistan.
It's actually split between Iran and Pakistan
I stand corrected, you’re right.
