Cahill's Crossing East Alligator River, Kakadu Australia 

For Sale: Toyota Ute : Moving overseas. Well looked after.

Was it so important that you couldn’t wait for low tide 😔

Thank God for those big rock stones that kept his car at halt.

Darwin’s theory

Nothing wrong here, she was booked in for a boat tour trip down the river and she wanted to park her car somewhere safe. No one is going to mess with her car with those big Crocs around.. 😉

Impatient human: I can make it! Crocs: yes, yes, yes you can...🤤🤤🤤

Its very hard to be sympathetic. Thoses utes are very light in the back. It puts the people who try to help in danger too and thats not fair. If I was the semi driver contemplating reversing to tow him out, I would be quoting a 4 figure sum. As it is, no one would be in their right mind to step into that current.

Actually, they are crocodiles, not alligators, right ?

At night you can see crocs and sharks there. Great fishing!

ALWAYS SOME ONE WANTS TO BE A HERO .... U CAN SEE THE RIVER IS TO STRONG FOR A CAR ....... NO BRAINS

Unbelievable how people continue to cross despite the floodwaters and crocs. Idiotic is an understatement.

Captain of that vessel did a great job.

What kind of a numbskull would try to cross a raging river like that?

There are times when you actually don't need to be a hero you know

Not a river you want to be stuck in, drowning is the least of your worries, it's infested with massive saltys... 🐊

FYI, Bridges above water are more user friendly.

and what about the car anyway, is it still there right now ?

Even when there's barely any water on the road it's still risky the currant is too strong we've crossed this diver a handful of times and each time we still come across the risk of the car shifting

I've crossed there many time it's tidal, just have to time your crossing when the tide is down.

4:25. Remember where we parked.

That was so scary, imagine if those Crocs were waiting for hat ruck to capsize 😱

Meals on Wheels 😂

I was there in September 2017 and their was a vehicle on the left hand side of the crossing. I was told a person was killed when that vehicle went in the water..... I just think some people do not have common sence when crossing over to Arnhem Land. When we were there we saw a number of big Crocs in the water.

Ive crossed there hundreds of times. I was really anxious throughout the video; there are huge crocs there

omg! i cant believe people try to cross this thing in such high fast water! with crocs!

Her poor husband paid for that ute and told her 100 times " don't cross a river when it's flooding".

Seems plenty of boulders preventing the car from moving (good planning by the road maintenance gang...note dam wall left side catchment area right side)... hopefully the tide is going out, should be road crew with a Grader or a Backhoe nearby. Would be easy to latch that and pull it straight out. Saw this happen in January 1980 at the Ord river WA, straight after cyclone Amy, BUT that swb-4wd was upside down in the river with 2 Adults and 2 kids still in it underwater...dead of course. You could see the chassis, we actually crossed the Ord but there is a method and technique, long story and scary too. This brings back those memories, plus buliding Jabiru mine near here in 1980

Crossed flood ways b4. But this fool really didnt give that current the credit it so obviously showed. Bloody hell

Imagine if the ute had broken free and hit the tourist boat... geeezuz

Was too far behind the big rig, received the full force of the river plus the displacement caused by the rig.

Glad the Sheila’s safe. So harrowing to watch.

Cars are not boat. Remember this.

Thing is did they get the truck out. Maybe add weight in bed. Add rocks if possible.

Why can't australian government build a bridge 🌉?

AUSTRALIA ....WWWOOOWWW.... CROCODRILE RIVER DANGEROUS.....

The ‘Lux is getting a good underbody clean! WTF was she thinking?

Truck for sale, lightly used- just washed

If it's flooded forget it.😂😂

what you need here is not a car but an amphibious vehicle

If I was going to cross that river I least put about half a tone sand in the back or something to keep the car from sliding away

Bet that resident crocodile is pissed off . Lunch off the menu

Thats a big tide too,i was there last week and it was nowhere near that high

Just wondering why he didnt get towed by the trailer truck. Derp.

Pick up truck needed weight in back before crossing the river

This is the most riveting video I've seen in a while

What did they think was going to happen it's a dam toyota.

That’s gotta be one of the most dangerous roads in the world when the tide is high. Screw that! I’ll never tempt that.

Two huge hazards chance of drowning and being eaten by crocs just to cross that river not too bright

Take a chance and pay the price!

Damn riverbank seat drivers

You can tell in the First 10 Feet of the Pickup going Wet...He Ain't a Gonna Make it

Darwin award in Darwin

This is so stupid and crazy for these people driving in this water/Creek, so my next question is, why don't the government built a bridge for the safety of the people. I have never seen anything like this before.

Semi has 18wheels pulling through the water the pick up truck 4 wheels semi more powerful and sits up higher

If you can't walk it then don't drive it!!!

the other 4wd threw the brakes on big time..lol

What a muppet

MUD EXTREME OFF ROAD GALICIA CANIBAL BARRO Y AGUA 💦 💦 A MANTAS FOCHANKAS, VADEOS 💦 SALVAJES Y 4X4 🔝 A TOOOOOPEEEEEE

es un río infestado de cocodrilos en Australa.....Crocodrile CROCODILLE RIVER DANGEROUS

So did the semi pull the truck out?

the crocs are waiting with anticipation

Of course the driver is female, lmao.

oh what a feelin

What's this "Alligator River" bullshit. There are no alligators in Australia. It should have been called, "East Giant Crocodile River.".

That will always happen when your sitting on your brain.

That could have easily ended in tragedy. Extremely reckless behaviour from an inexperienced driver putting the lives of himself and his passengers in grave danger.

This makes me wonder if those massive Russian trucks could barrel through a crossing such as this.

Not a G'day m8. 😔

Have to be up that TRAILERS TAIL if you wanted to make it.

I would love someone to interview these people and ask WTF were you thinking? Ive been over that crossing numerous times and wouldnt even attempt to cross at high tide like that. And then expect others to put themselves at risk to save you.

Lesson learned! Never follow another vehicles wake!

Following the truck is absolutely the wrong thing to do. The truck does 2 things as it moves through the water. It acts as a temporary dam and the water has to go somewhere and it displaces a lot of water which has to go somewhere. This increases the amount of water directly behind it. Either get very very close or wait a minute for the water to go back to normal. That Hi Lux was in exactly the wrong position.

Interesting the name "Alligator River" stuck considering the origins are mistaken identity.

he should had told the truck driver to drive on the left so he can drive on the right while the truck breaks the pressure of the water

So.....do they say “bad on you mate”, if that’s a saying down under?

Sorrynotsorry that’s what she gets as far as getting the truck stuck.🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

There was no way that the Toyota was going to make it across in that current.

Why Why would you try that when the waters running that fast , Crocs would have been disappointed that the meal in the tin can was not delivered

Being in a cab chassis ute IMO if they had a chance of making it they should have been literally touching the truck with their bull bar

They probably would of made it if they went a lot closer to the truck.

So, is it still stuck there?

The small Toyota truck had zero chance of making it across in the rushing water. It is not even close to being large and heavy enough to hold the road. Very stupid.

Why are tourists s concerned about idiots? Ive watch people do stupid shit here heaps of times and Ive seen people risk their lives getting ropes to their vehicles...to me thats the idiots job

this is one of the most idiotic things ive ever seen. how did a person think a small truck would get through that?!

. passengers cars should be prohibited. all motorized should be prohibited

I feel sorry for the Hilux

Build a bridge. I know you can do it I have seen Sydney harbour.

Me, I would have not attempted to cross. And my ex would still be nagging me about it.

Don't get out there's crocodiles in the water what sort of prick crosses the road with the water flowing at that speed, the lorry is hanging around to pull him out

be safer if the Australian government put in a bridge

Crazy I saw the biggest croc I've ever seen at that crossing. Should wait till the tide goes down

good night hilux. very expensive mistake

Worth looking at the article and following comment at drive. com. au / motor-news / taking-the-plunge-20120823-24ntl. html (delete the spaces).

Hi there cedaridgepl. Just wondering if you would mind us using some of these clips for an education resource we are producing in the NT? It is a Driver Education unit targeted at our remote cohort. Your stuff is perfect for discussions on hazardous driving in the bush. Let me know if you are keen and I can email you more detail about what we are doing.

She’s just waiting for a mate 🤙

Great job, Many Blessings!!!

When crossing these rivers you drive as slow as you can.

People never learn sad to say.

At least all that water gonna clean the the seats of skid marks, bloody stupid

"Croikey! Bettah git awt and poosh!"
