Long Passenger Boat Pulls Off Sharp Drifting Turn Through Narrow Amsterdam Canals

May 122013

As their name suggests, Amsterdam In Video specializes in all things Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Over the weekend, their first video to go viral hit the trending charts, amassing 85,000 views in just a matter of days.

In the short video, which roughly translates to Helmsmanship the canal, an extremely long passenger boat attempts to make too sharp of a turn to Amsterdam’s narrow canals. To a passerby, the boat seemed to be heading directing into the canal wall!

But at the last moment, the captain turned the engines to the left as far as possible and hit the gas. Incredibly, the boat sailed through the narrow canal without even the slightest hiccup.

YouTuber ForsakenMadMan appropriately retitles the video, “Amsterdam drift.”

Man Towing Boaters Accidentally Hit In The Face With Beer Can, Falls Into Lake

Apr 032013

NSFW Warning – language

Dane Steube was on the lake when he and his fellow boaters ran out of gas. Thankfully, a another nice crew of people enjoying the lake gave them a tow. While towing, one of the helpful men who obviously already had a couple, yelled to his new friends, “Hey, I need a beer.”

They may not have had gas, but they naturally had planned ahead and had plenty of beer. “He needs a beer, throw him a beer,” the cameraman responded.

Problem was, the beer can hit the receiver directly in the face, causing him to fall off the boat into the water.

“Holy f***, you’re kidding me!”
