Saw a video for it over the weekend on Twitter, fucking scary especially if you're on it and trapped in there with a kid or something.

How did it actually sink though? What went wrong?

I heard the driver was on beak. If so, he'll be sent down for sure.

That's terrifying that video, how many seats across do those boats have? If you were in one of the middle seats, with the speed that the thing sank then you'd be in big trouble.

Alright Tarquin, get off the stage.

I seriously cannot believe that. Imagine being passenger on there and then seeing that, would be like rubber-ing in your face.  :o

"Duck" bus always implied that they actually submerge for a bit. That's why ducks are called ducks in the first place.

Duck comes from them being designated as DUKW, from the GMC model naming = "D" stands for designed in 1942, "U" stands for utility, "K" stands for front wheel drive, and "W" indicates two rear-driving axles.

It was so nice to see Joe Anderson with his finger on the pulse of local politics.  His dramatic photograph standing in front of the docks, demanding the ducks never be used again.  Yes indeed, he may be useless at fighting Liverpool's corner over spending cuts but when it comes to an issue like this he can't wait to stick his massive arm flab on the Echo's front page....

Thats not quite fair about him not fighting Liverpool's corner mate. The Mayor's management team have made representation to this Government and have provided statistics about the obscene imbalance of the cuts towards the city. I'm not being funny but I'd suggest you aim your grievance at the Tory's who have salami-sliced your way of life and will be delighted to hear you blame your Mayor.

I'm sure Mister Anderson certainly has made representation to the government about the cuts.  And I've heard nothing more about it from him since they laughed in his face and told him to fuck off.

I mean, what happened to the £170m the government promised the city if we elected a mayor in the first place?  What was that money for?  Where is it?  What's being done with it?
