- 4WD swept away by flooding waters into croc infested East Aligator river Kakadu at the Cahills crossing. Dramatic rescue by heroic charter boat skipper saved the. Friday 13 June 2014 was a lucky day for the driver,
We'll see you in 4 years, when this will come in everyone's recommendations
Ah, damn, I’m too early. 🤔😂
1 year I'm here! Hi!
Only 3 years to go
Then hopefully this comment will have heaps of likes by then to
9 almost 10 years now.... lol
It’s not croc infested, but inhabited. It’s their home!
And wheres the peoples homes? Vegan morons like you dont understand shit. Either adapt or go extinct
“That was not what we wanted to see”.
Yes it was.
woow... imagine that feeling when you feel your car drifts to the side and you can do nothing about it and suddenly it stops but you dont know how long the car will remain still until the current pushes it into the jaws of the crocodiles knowing that if you try to get out of the car to try to get back to land knowing you wont make it All you can do is just to wait for help praying they will make it in time. Must have been the longest seconds of the driver's life...
Croc: Damn boat. That was my lunch!
Had no idea anyone even had footage of this I've got the photos from the truck side it was myself and Dave from Northline driving over to Oenpelli had no idea the HiLux was even behind us till we saw it go off the road
Amazing, just shows how easy it is to get it wrong. See how the water swirling around the back of the truck got him on the side much worse than it normally would, as soon as he lost traction he was gone.
She not HE
why would you drive right behind the wake of a semi truck?
He woulda made it if he drove closer. The current took the back end of his ute.
Could happen to anyone I'm a risk taker but that is one risk I'd be wiser not to take croc infested waters and the water running like that no way lol
fred d VERY good mate . I was thinking the same thing.
mate r u serious! its like riding behind the back of another bike?? it makes it a lot easier, just not in this case
Had to tuckin tight...works if you do it right......easier to wait for tide to drop
"Thats not what we wanted to see!"
Oh? That's why you're watching trucks cross a croc infested river? To watch them cross safely? lol.
I can't believe this is actually real, risking your own life each time you need to get tothe other side of the river... Rolling a dice to know if you keep urself alive or dead scares me !
Have you seen Africa? 😂
This video was sponsored by Toyota
Ha... good one..
This is in Kakadu national park, in the middle of nowhere, that’s why there’s no bridge there.
It doesn’t make economic sense to build major infrastructure in places where almost no one will ever use it. It’s also on aboriginal land and they don’t want the natural landscape blighted with ugly utilitarian bridges.
This spot, Cahill’s crossing, has become somewhat of a tourist attraction because of its unusually dense population of crocodiles, which gather in large numbers at this road crossing to feed on the fish that get trapped either side of the crossing point.
I have a question for you. You say "no one will ever use the bridge" but in this one video they show 3 trucks, two of them pretty large, so it seems it would seem to be a trading route. I don't really see how the natives would be in need of large trucks carrying tractors, so those trucks must be from regular companies. And this is just one video of the tons of other videos that show LOTS of vehicles going over that river. So, can you explain why you, and most other commenters, say a bridge would be useless because "noone would use it"? Thanks
And the river rises 51 feet in the wet
So, imagine that tour boat wasn't there and you are the driver of the car. Your choice is to either stay in the car hoping another car will come along, but your car is at risk of slipping off the ledge at any moment, and sinking and you drown to death. Or, you jump out and hope to out-swim the crocs in time. I can only imagine the horror in that woman's mind at that time even with the boat being there, let alone if it wasn't.
@owleyes Malignaggi driving skills do not depend on gender. Men and woman can be both good and bad drivers -- depends on the person
I'm surprised the crocodiles don't eat the truck. Them some big boys.
currents too strong, you'd be swept into the mouth of a croc in no time
is better to stay in car, crocodile attack is horrible is better to drown in the car.
@@oskars1419 : Yeah, I guess, but it's a horrible death either way.
Perhaps one day they'll figure out you can build bridges above the water in Australia.
Aboriginals don't like a bridge to be made.
We invented refrigerators and the microchip for you. What more do you want
@@lastknownlocation8760 The first practical vapor compression refrigerator only, not from scratch, it was Americans and British that lead the way in that field through experimentation. He read what they did and he just took the next step. And if you mean an integrated circuit, an Aussie didn't invent that. A German first did it then three Americans after him solved the issues faced one was Jack Kilby from Texas Instruments.
@@Seven_Leaf yeah,,,, nah. Incorrect
Maybe is a place not many cars pass by and by a corrupt goverment they wont putoney to build that because they to busy stealing from the people
There are these things called bridges. They’ve been around for thousands of years. They’re handy.
This particular crossing is within aboroginal territory from what ive read, they are against any bridge being build at this crossing.
The other side is a national park. The area is very remote!
As much as I see this place, I must go visit this spot.
Any reason that a better crossing is yet to be built?!?
Aboriginal owned land on one side and national park on the other. The government can’t build a bridge there even if it was plausible to do so which it isn’t.
why dont ur gov build a simple proper bridge there knowing they already built that stone age passage?
Because it middle of nowhere, mate...
+Normal Guy and yet people pass through it.
Land owners and conservationists said that building a bridge could damage sacred sites and the land surrounding it. There was news coverage over this pass where a ranger says this.
It’s very remote, national park on one side and native land on the other. You need a permit to go here. Idiots still seem to get in though.
Incredible - around 3.46, the River changes direction and flows the other way..... !
The guy talking in the video says it high tide so maybe it’s the tide going in and out.
Australia doent have a money to built the bridge ?
WTF...!
Not out in the middle of nowhere.
It's Aboriginal land. Government aren't allowed to build one without permission. The Aboriginals have said no everytime it's been offered.
I'm wondering what's so worth it on the other side lol
InfoForU Australia is a 3rd world country they can't afford it.
@Young Nomad I applaud their decision. It's fine the way it is. Don't need bridges ruining the atmosphere.
build a bridge this is so dangerous! its a risky life i wouldn't cross that river even thou is low tide hmm😰.
Suzanna Jacob would you want to be a construction worker and build a bridge there?
Suzanna Jacob yeah but that's the middle of nowhere. I am guessing the government don't want to invest there money there.
A bridge is a must for it otherwise it is too risky to cross it.
It's Arnhem land. Government can't touch it without permission. Aboriginals don't want it.
Don't build a bridge. I wish to see humans get dragged away by crocodiles and eaten.
This is so close to being like that wildebeest crossing in Africa.
Sooo close!
I'm amazed she didn't ask to get the ute on the boat. Hows her, almost going to drown or swim with crocs, but here grab me handbag and this bag, oh and this one. Classic
Thank God that boat came and got them out! Imagine what that would to your mind if stuck out there a long time!
specially with hungry crocs in the water I wouldn't risk it.
Specially with hungry crocs in the water I wouldn't risk it lol
robbed of a Darwin award
Croc:- Oi mate engine stalled.
wow pro truck driver at the end
That croc had a tumor on its neck... cancer maybe? Footage on 1:44
I saw that, it was humongous. Was wondering if anybody else would comment on that. I suppose it could be some kind of benign growth and not malignant but very likely could be a cancer. Tough bastards that they are, probably will take a while to kill it yet.
it's pet rock
It may be a radio coller....I guess...
Poor thing. I feel overly bad for it.
It's a snail trying to devour the croc
I told my wife it’s safe for her to cross that river on a skateboard.. I am hoping she tries it!
This was in my recommended 😂🔥
Anyone ever thought of building a BRIDGE?!!!!!!!
Big mistake. The pick up truck was too small to cross through the rushing water.
So that 1:45 croc has cancer right?
seems like no one cares
@@coconutman2486 I care. I care a lot. I really love crocodiles and am associated with them. Seeing one with an issue like that is simply heartbreaking to me.
@@tigerdude401thegreat3 oh god
@@tigerdude401thegreat3 how are you associated with them, gang affiliation or something?
The commenter was the troll that collects the toll
wow....so dangerous.....i used to travel mountain roads i winter...also very dangerous
Really lucky there happened to be a boat nearby to resue that driver...
Wonder if ppl use this crossing at night too...
Well, it's like africa.
Zebra, wilderbeest & other animals crossing rivers.
And the million dollar question is....
was it worth it?
It's all worth it on the end🤔
Does this river have reverse flow? It pushed the truck one way but in the following clips the water was flowing the other way..?
Jeff Segura it's the tides I guess. It was high tide when the pickup got washed off
no..? The wake of the truck pulled the back side of the ute while the front side managed to stay in front of the wake.
It's salt water. The tides are quite big in Australia, that's why you see the water going forward and backwards and then again forward.
Stupid is as Stupid does ..cheers ..
Have these people seen a bridge before?
Build a Bridge and space underneath for water and creatures can swim over crossing easily.Cahills crossing?should be named crocodiles food stop🤯🐊🛶
SEEMS LIKE THE RISK AINT WORTH THE REWARD FOR ANYTHING SMALLER THAN A MOVING VAN SIZE VEHICLE
Feed the driver to the crocs
Tf is wrong with u?
Your mom must be SO proud of you
Only in Australia, great road train driver showing how it's done.
Did that crocodile have a tumour?!
Yes. Too sad.😢😢😢😢
No thats some stupid monitoring device installed by the gov.. they tranquilize the animal.
Drafting behind a truck doesn't work at water crossings. Lucky they were saved. Probably the worst possible place for it to happen
Lady in truck was going too fast which made her float
Damn the Toyota should of waited for the bigger truck to cross
The back end of the Ute has no weight in it to withstand the water flow.
Why would you try to cross that , with the water so high , knowing there is crocs everywhere , smh !
Respect for the rescue people's
His mistake it was because he drive after truck because the water has find a way to get down in the Waley and take up the small car
Couldn't pay me enough. When when it's dry.
Someone can told me where is happening these kind of thing ?
KAKADU NT Australia
Ren Theelen thank you so much
The Hilux is too light for that, I reckon a Landcruiser would have made it across.
build a bridge full of gators, eels, bull sharks and sea lion lol.
hmm no thanks Mr.Minto lol
Did he get his truck back?
Hi Ren, just wondering if you would mind us using some of these clips for an education resource we are producing in the NT? It is a Driver Education unit targeted at our remote cohort. Your stuff is perfect for discussions on hazardous driving in the bush. Let me know if you are keen and I can email you more detail about what we are doing.
if it was me, i would just jump out and swim as fast as i could to the other end of the river there. or run.
Panda that is the best way to get killed haha
they wont catch me. i am fast as hell. and to the other end of the river, it aint that far. i will escape from them
Panda good luck outswimming a croc in water 😂😂😂
Did it ever occur to you that there could be crocs close to both banks of the river ? Does matter how fast you are if the crocs are already there in the place you are swimming toward.
I wouldnt get in that water, even if i had the skills of an Olympic swimmer. And the crocs. Nope id sit in that truck with a window down and wait for help.
This is my big fear and this is why I would never cross such river...
I thought it was a man than in the end it turned out it was a a woman LOL
i guessed it ha ha ...
Typical hahaha just playing
They should put poles on the side of the road where cars won't slide off but crocs can fit
Who’s gonna put the poles there?
@@devonlord99 when the water is low
Regardless of the water level, crocs are still there and can attack people (including workers.)@@zabdi1924
Why there are no stones on both side. Why only one side
Maybe call for help instead of just standing there lol
Why is there no bridge again???
People around it said it would ruin the land and get construction workers killed
This road is deadly
Anything lighter than a semi crossing that current and you're just asking for it.
I wonder if thats why bridges are not built in those parts ? although most bridges are built using machines these days
I read the reason for no bridge being built , is because the local aboriginal people do not want it impacting the land , and they have the say in this matter .
Why dont the govt of Australlia make a permanant bridge over this dealiest crossing? why people are waiting for a lethal happening to occur?
Build a bridge and it wouldn't be one of the world's last wildernesses
LOL
It was funny when they said what are you gonna doing now, if I was standing next to them I would have said they fucked
Just Wandering why doesnt they build a proper bridge !?? even some poor place at least they afford to has good safe passage
Bastaria fazer uma ponte.
Mi pregunta es porque se arriesgan la vida de las personas no debe tomarse a la lijera donde chingados es ahi...saludos desde los cabos
Australia y no se lo toman a la ligera
If you were going to follow the truck I would have had a short strong tow attached.
and that truck left him good to c
The crock was grinning said " Free Truck " 😄 well almost
Crocs hate the rapids
and it was a Friday the 13th. I guess that's a lucky day down under
Alright so after watching this video one might conclude Australians don't know what a bridge is.
The government’s not allowed to build a bridge there. You got national park on one side of the crossing and Aboriginal land on the other
Ever heard of the Sydney Harbour Bridge?
I don't understand why people attempt to drive through flooded streets
He went to fast over there
What stupid! If they seen a strong coming why would you risk?
Truck keeps driving, zero fuck given lol
stupid toyota following right behind that big truck is the reason why it got off track.
I wouldn't have tried to cross.
Croc frustrated.
OK guys, we all need to chip in and buy Australia a bridge. This makes my feet sweat...
Pity really as the truck backed up and could have pulled her out in ten minutes. Toyotas bull bar would hold for a quick tow. Easy job, crocs are no big problem...unless you fall in of course.
How many ppl thought that was a ram lol
Alot must go through this area.
There are also alots in there. Crocodiles and alots!
Why don't they just build a bridge over it? Problem solved
This is dumb obviously the Government knows how bad this crossing is build an actual bridge
human idiocity
hate to say it but OH WHAT FEELIN.......
I'm sorry that is called natural selection
No wonder it's a shela!!!
It is stupid for the driver of that stranded car.
Why don't they just build a bridge
dislikes?
