Queensland floods: Porsche driver frantically tries to save his car

A man was filmed trying desperately to rescue a submerged blue Porsche from floodwaters in Brisbane as the once-in-a-decade flood took its toll on the river city. 

The aerial view of the driver’s plight was posted on social media platform Reddit, where he is seen wading around and attempting to push the car, as rain pelts down. 

He is seen trudging from one side of the car to the back to save the drowning high-performance sportscar. 

A enamored man waded in Brisbane’s floodwaters to save a Porsche 

When the car fails to budge the man doubles down at the back and is seen trying to push the car up out of the water. 

Commentators took to Reddit to mock the man’s efforts saying: ‘It’s just a little waterlogged, it’s still good, it’s still good.’

‘Just leave it in a bag of rice overnight.’

‘Bruh it’s way passed dead. Dunno why you would even risk going into flood waters at that point.’ 

Many folks took to Reddit social media mocking and berating the man

Others said: ‘Oh no that’s beached as bro,’ and ‘Condolences.’

The author of the perplexing footage piled on that the man’s efforts had been in vain.

‘I forgot to add, his car was floating away and he was just walking it around to secure it, and it inevitably sunk,’ the post said.   

Despite his best efforts the car eventually, sadly, sunk in the waters 

Queensland residents are on edge with the Brisbane River expected to be hit by two potentially catastrophic peaks in the next 24 hours. 

Eight people have died in the flood crisis and more than 15,000 homes are underwater. 

Some 49,000 houses across Queensland’s south-east were left without power with residents already fleeing their homes in the popular inner city suburbs of Rosalie and Milton.
