Their fault.
Climate change….ffs……
Foolish. People need to think.
How horrific. My condolences to the family and friends of this dear couple.
Shup up climate change does not exist they died because they were stupid
Deaths like this on this stretch of Queens Drive has happened before. Why has this happened again?
The problem is electric windows. Can't get out.
RIP
The roads are a safer place now. Anybody who thinks its normal to drive through that shouldnt be behind the wheel.
From a tragic accident to climate BS in a few seconds.
I'm sorry to the family for their loss
But why try and cross under a bridge with that much water?
Others were turning around so they would not put themselves in danger
Global warming is Fake !
Silly old sod thought he knew Better and if he didn't then he shouldn't of been driving! Cantankerous springs to mind!
1:56 😂😂that's it blame someone's stupidity on climate change 😂😂😂😂 what a load of garbage!
R.I.P to them both, they were a lovely couple, this is absolutely heartbreaking.
So they drove into the Flooded Road on their own will , looks like someone has played Voluntarily Retirement Act on these poor people , May Allah Rest Their Souls in Heaven ,
That councillor directly just blamed climate change for their incompetence..unbelievable
Natural selection at work
Sad.Sorry its the drivers fault any fool with 1% common sense can see how deep that water it its nearly to the ceiling of the tunnel..
Council and fire brigade should have done more in flash floods, hope lessons had been learnt. Don't just blame global warming !! RIP
getting strong "if moses could do it, so can I" vibes
Extremely sad ! But also it really shouldn't have happened & the council has to take some responsibility for the drainage of this road ! We see it time & time again our drains are not fit for purpose because of lack of investment in our infrastructure & nothing gets done until someone loses their lives !…..Our moto is 'We will contribute towards your death & then see what we can do later down the line !!
Rip to both of them
Old people shouldn’t be driving. Luckily these ones only killed themselves. What needless stupidity.
Double glasses 🕶️ to the driver 😂
This is why old people shouldn’t drive the idiots
I spent the bank hols up in Liverpool we had a family birthday by night time family started departing towards various surrounding areas and soon text messages came back that water levels were wheel deep, while out dropping family off due to the heavy rain, I've never seen such treacherous conditions cats and dogs would be an understatement, very sad indeed, definitely no advanced warning from the authorities 😢
Why on earth did they drive into the flooded area?!!!
No idea why they tried to drive through.
Sad newes council are not helping cutting grass on the side of roads an dont clean up so all the grass an crap blocks the draines
Who in their right mind would drive into flood water.
With the amount of tax we all pay to travel around this country there shouldn't be any death trap roads FFS. Modify the damn thing and add loads of drainage. Poor couple. Horrible waste of life. Devastating for their families.
Rip to them. Could have been saved. Should have been closed off.
Very very sad 😞. That guy is absolutely right that bridge should have warning signs and lights. And the old excuse climate. Hollocks
Its not the climate thats the problem ! They just don’t want to spend money on fixing the roads
Who is that moron blaming climate change 🙄 people have literaly had their brains washed.
what's unbelievable is that people are stupid enough to think they can drive through flooded water like that when the water level is half way up to the top of the bridge.
That particular location should have been sorted out years ago, I knew when it was first reported before pictures and film were shown where it happened and the victims would be more likely to be vulnerable and elderly
