Untold Stories & Unsung Heroes From France   

Submarine bus

You don't see this every day. An Austrian touring car with a faulty handbrake drove into the Seine yesterday. The 51 passengers weren't inside so they struck lucky. American tourist Michael Ambrosia was there and filmed it:


"I was standing next to the Seine River and heard a sound. It was the sound of a large tour bus jumping a two step curb onto a sidewalk. The bus kept going and rolled right into the river. By this time I was pulling my camera out and running. I got bumped on the side by a guy and took a fall, sliding right on my camera. Got up, ran to the scene and started the video in the process. This happened around 8:00pm July 29, 2010."

Update: here's another video
