Das ist ne Verschwörung, ein Mog bleibt nicht stecken.

Wasn't a little overdone, a helicopter rescue in tis case?

Der Koffer und das Fahrerhaus sind ja noch trocken, wieso lassen die sich per Hubschrauber retten ?
Ok, rüberschwimmen bei starker Strömung und 3°C Wassertemperatur ist nicht lustig, eher lebensgefährlich.
Der Mog steht da friedlich und aufrecht als ob er parken würde.
War keiner da, um ihn rauszuziehen ?

From looking at the pics, I would have thought this to be a rescue exercise. I cannot imagine that this position of the truck made a helicopter rescue necessary. But maybe there was a mechanical fault?

I have meet them one week ago when the helped a german IFA L60 that got in trouble on the road between Sprengisandur and Kerlingarfjöll.
They had been in Iceland some times before and the driver told me that he had tried to pass the Blanda north of Hofsjökull one day before but that he put in the reversegear when he notices that the water was much to deep.

According to the news, this truck was passing Tungnaá river on the highland, the drive broke in the middle of the river, the man goes alone looking for help, leaving his wife alone in the truck in the river, the man phones for help from somwhere and then a helicopter comes to rescue the lady from the vehicle.

Hi hekla,

<img src="/forum_php/images/graemlins/thankx.gif" alt="" /> for the update. This sounds more reasonable to me.
