Default works van gets washed into the harbour beside me by a giant wave!

2 numpty joiners parked their works van at the end of the breakwater in arbroath to stupidly watch the big waves crash over the wall.loads of folk do it but nobody takes their motor down as waves have came over and crushed cars before.the water where the van ended up is about 5-6 meters deep so no doubt its at the bottom now ha ha!

you can see from the 2nd pic the roof is caved in from the weight of water landing on it and in the 1st pic i think its clear its been hit by a wave and half washed off the quay,but the wave that hit it in the pics certainly finished it off.my pal will no doubt be there with his camera when they recover it so ill get more pics up!
