I've seen Pajero and CT go over Ivanhoe Crossing at Kununurra in similar fashion complete with little kids on board. The water pressure pushed the CT over the edge and the Pajero went after it.

Water weighs 1000kg/cubic metre. When a vehicle stalls in water, the water's momentum is transferred to the car. For each 30cm the water rises, 226 kg of lateral force is applied to the car. For each 30cm the water rises up the side of the car, the car displaces 680kg of water. In effect, the car weighs 680kg less for each 30cm the water rises. Most cars will float in just 60cm of water.

60cm of rushing water will float most large vehicles
15 centimetres of rushing water is enough to knock a person over.

We've seen the big 7 trailer ore carrying road trains get swept of causeways in the Pilbara. They would have to weigh 500 tonnes or more.Dave

Do they still have those home made traffic signs - slow down - sharp curve ahead - gate ahead - close gate. Last time i was there a rental Pajero disobeyed all of those signs by speeding around a bend and crashing through the gates.Dave

I would suggest not, most of the vehicles that don't leave the area don't seem to be registered past the initial 12 months. Not too many policemen out that way either and the community land sizes are 2-2.5 days travel north to south.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]
