Can an Excavator Really Row a Freaking Boat?

Somewhere in Ho Chi Minh City , Vietnam on the Saigon River floats the most insane , jury-rigged boat I ’ve ever seen . Seriously . It looks like a floating concrete block being row by a expression excavator . Huh ?

I have so many questions for the guys in this video . How did they get the power shovel ? Where did they happen that mammoth slab of concrete ? Who thought of using the excavator to row the concrete boat ? Did they seek paddles first ? Does the guy manning the excavator get silly from spinning so much ? Do they tack off ? How ’s the pho in Vietnam ? Where are they go ? How do they dock the ship ? Is this legal ? If they could afford an excavator , why did n’t they just buy a boat ?

Our effective admirer at theMythbustershave antecedently canvas the excavator sauceboat rowing phenomenon ( even trying to wakeboard with an excavator boat ) and concluded that it ’s totally real and achievable . Even with that , I ’m still not certain if shovel boats are clever or dumb but I ca n’t bar watch those guys make their way down the river . [ Arbroath ]
