Wow!
Luckily the water is there to wash away the fecal matter generated by the fear of drowning! The blue and orange tank truck seems to have been stationed there to pull folks out. the bus thing looked at the end to have gotten stuck in the deep water. I wonder how they got the cables reattached to the helper truck?

Can anyone read ( and translate) what is printed on the Blue/Orange tow vehicle?
I think I'd want to make that crossing at or near the full rated GVWR. An empty tank is a sure disaster.

I need to go to Russia. That's a different breed of cat over there.

I was hoping it said "non-potable water", and that the operator could add or dump water as necessary to have the proper load for his rescue mission.

Those guys are crazy. It was interesting to watch the tractor trailers compared to the straight trucks. The tractor trailers had safer passage because the trailer could swing downstream as the water pushed on it, diverting the power of the water while the tractor could still drive in a straight line and pull the angled trailer across the river.
