It seems pretty obvious what happened, but I bet the "Investigation" takes months and costs loadsamoney.

There was a similar runaway of a remotely controlled cement train in Tasmania three years ago which the ATSB (Australian Transport Safety Bureau) is STILL INVESTIGATING. :applause:
Sir Humphrey Appleby would be proud of them ............... :jester:

Obviously someone pressed their remote garage door controller at the wrong time.

It's been rescued. Dry out change the oil and fuel and she'll be right.
Perhaps!
Not a great fan of remote control. :rolleyes:

Dreadful pollution in Picton Harbour. Engine was black & white when it went in but yellow and red when it came out. Swimming ought to be banned.
