  • After the car got stuck, one of the passengers got out to figure out how serious the problem was
  • Local people, who came to enjoy the unusual “performance”, told him there is no way to get out
  • When the water inside the car went really high, everyone started getting over to the hood and the roof of the truck
  • While three photographers tried to save their camera bags from water, the driver of the car was really worried about his trophy M-16 brought from Kodori gorge during the August 2008 clashes with Georgians
  • We were seeking help from people, who had a barbeque nearby and had the same truck as ours
  • Those on the river bank tried to invent many ways to save the car, but no luck
  • The bough, thrown from the river bank to somehow fix the car, did little help
  • Trying to make the bough useful led to falling to the river, but fortunately then man was caught by his fellows and put back to the hood
  • After an hour of panic cigarettes, still dry, were discovered
  • Half an hour later the truck with contraband wood came to carry on the “rescue operation”
  • Everyone got out safe and sound. Only the M-16 magazine case was lost
  • The car was left drifting and sinking
