That boat crash video Holy shit

[RiverDave]

Crazy viral.. went up another million in the last hour. One is over 8 million views the other approaching 3 on fb and both are gaining traction not leveling off..

The comments coming are at a pace that is literally rendering my phone useless at this point.

 

[500bbc]

Absolutely amazing they both walked away...

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

As bad as this incident was. Looks like you may get some more peeps on RDP from people that didn't know it existed until these vids. That's a shit ton of views!

 

[Outdrive1]

Who took the video?

 

[BabyRay]

It’s fairly prominently posted on Fox News’ web site, if not others. I’m sure that’s driving a lot of traffic.

I’m glad I knew they were ok before watching the video. That was crazy!

Who took the video?

I don’t know it was texted to me by a couple people. Not sure who the original was or we would have given them credit

Right after the crash they popped the hatch open and I saw two heads.. I knew they were good almost instantly

 

[Done-it-again]

I’ve seen the video posted on LinkedIn and on X.

 

[Moabifam5]

Channel 5 had it on there news cast this morning...

 

[TimeBandit]

Boat crash video of the decade right there.

I bet it gets to 25 million views or more across all platforms.

How fast was it going??

210 was what the cockpit cam showed

 

[Bpracing1127]

My question is assuming they didn’t crash. What speed would they have reached? 230+?

Yep. Got a text from my sister last night asking if I had seen the video and who the hell is RiverDave.

Hopefully she now knows he sux.

 

[C_J_J_C]

Now that everyone knows they are OK I hope they have a way to monitize this for the rebuild.

They might not need the money but I'm sure if they sold shirts or had a go fund me towards the rebuild I'm sure they would fund it with all the traction their getting.

Some of the stills you can grab off the video don't look real.

After that I'd buy a pontoon and just be happy to see another day.

There is some serious Photoshop potential here for some classic RDP pictures to be inserted in those pics

It’s insane how high it went.. and after the first flip you can see how much wind is coming off the boat on the water when it goes way up.. it almost doesn’t look real.

Absolutely crazy

Or learning how to trim a 388. They’re fastest when flat and not on the tail.

 

[Roosky01]

It was posted on some really high engaging X feeds pretty quick. It surprised the Hell outta me.

This crash will become the most viral boat crash we’ve seen. I’ve seen it everywhere. Local, National, and every post on socials.

 

[Grease Monkey]

99% of the time, the person using their phone to video will drop the phone as the crash is happening. Crazy how well this video came out and also how sooo many people including myself thought it was AI generated.

Here are a few I screen shot

I cannot believe those dudes walked away. We were at getting gas and phone was blowing up. When I first saw the video I said, “they’re dead. No fuckin way they survived that” sexond thing I thought was it’s almost identical to the flip that killed fiore. Crazy.

In the second photo the bottom escape hatch has already been blown. Crazy altitude.

Was planning to do a top speed run in the 22 next weekend. Might just cruise it.

Good point. Ok, 2nd.

3rd pic in socal0487….Along with other factors I bet hitting nose first helped them escape injury.

I'm sure it did the one at Lotto the otter limits landed flat on its back

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

I figured someone would have @shintoooo on it by now with the caption "check out my new ride, tax season was great!"

 

[wallnutz]

Made the news in Florida, we are sitting in the Bahamas watching the news.
