The tourist bus/coach that fell into the river Seine, Paris. (July 2010)

Filmed by the river Seine in Paris, France. 30th July, 2010. 2:40pm onwards.

Was featured briefly on 'NHK Doga' at http://doga.nhk.or.jp/doga/viewvideo.jspx?Movie=48411824/48411824peevee326621...

An Austrian tourist coach had plunged into the river Seine.

According to another video (taken by Michael Ambrosia), the coach originally fell into the Seine on 29th July (the day before) at around 8:00pm. My video was taken the day after when authorities were able to lift the coach out of the water. It was quite a sight to behold.

Apparently the driver had forgotten to put the brakes on, and the coach slid into the river as a consequence. Luckily, the coach was empty; no one was on-board when it plunged (they were out watching a cabaret, or something) and there were no fatalities.

This is what I (Paul Marriott) saw while at the scene.

All comments welcome.

NOTE #1: The video description may be amended from time-to-time as we get further news on this coach incident.

NOTE #2: This is **original** footage that I filmed myself, but you all have my permission to request a copy (for free, of course).

Well done with the video, how long did the whole operation take?

[pcmarriotthk]

@blownhemi thanks for that! :) It took roughly 4 hours to film the raw footage; had to stay-out in the sun for a while, but was worth it.

@Newbpwng wow shes below average

[gerard12668]

tell the coach driver to always make sure he applys the park brake before leaving the drivers seat......Also he cant park there.

@wyattcoogan well if you are so keen on human rights why dont I find any videos where you condemn the US human rights records?

[wyattcoogan]

@antekification

sry, I had not seen that someone answered you. Of course, it's also a human right to defend yourself or your opinion. You aren't banned anymore. But however, I for my part will no longer participate in those discussions. Greetings to America and good luck. Coogan

@pcmarriotthk

pls excuse the inconvenience, thx ^^

[antekification]

@wyattcoogan eh are you some kind of facist? Are you scared of the truth? Obviously.

[wyattcoogan]

@antekification

Your thoughts are not entirely wrong, but unfortunately far too one-sided. This fact makes a useful discussion with you impossible. I am talking in general about human rights. So, place your hate speech somewhere else, please. Thank you, and have a nice day. :o)
