Video: Tourist helplessly watches rental car sink into Hermanus harbour
Thought you were having a bad Monday? Spare a thought for this guy, who watched his car sink into the Hermanus harbour on Monday.
If you thought your Monday was going badly, spare a thought for an extremely unlucky tourist from the United States of America (USA) who could only stand by and watch his rental car slowly roll down a Hermanus jetty and plunge into the harbour with his valuables inside.
Video footage captured by CCTV cameras at the Neptune’s Divers and Cruises offices demonstrate the unfortunate ordeal, which witnesses described as a “total disaster”. The tourist was about to set off on an epic nine-month journey through Africa, and could only watch with gritted teeth as his car and valuables met a murky fate.
