Then you haven't been to Afghanistan! Their roads are rivers.

My initial reaction to this video was hellz to tha no! But then, I realized being in the middle of a fast-moving river in a 14k lb armored HWMMV with water almost to the roof (looking under-water through the windshield), hoping the tires grab and you make it across 'cause swimming in body armor isn't gonna work well...yeah probably that dangerous. Eek

Me thinks a competent road engineer did NOT work on this project.

Not entirely sure but based off of what I can see inside the vehicle and outside, it’s either a 70 series Land Cruiser pickup or a Land Rover 110 Defender pickup (neither available here in the USA). If they were available here, one would be my forever truck.

Anyone else get that funny feeling in their stomach? I can only imagine how many cars/people have gone over the side with the water.

I’m sure that’s not how it normally looks.

They probably look at our videos of us complaining of highway traffic and think, "what a bunch of snow flakes!"

The USA has become soft.

That was nuts, but the drive must have made that run before but what about a washed out road under that water? That was insane!
