While i was walking by Potomac river in DC, i saw two police boats, first one drifted away in a showing of method then i directly took my phone out to take a video of the second one drifting away but unfortunately he hit two boats and sunk one! excuse my stupid commentary! I was just shocked how lucky i was by pressing the record button at the exact time.

Be safe on the water this Labor Day!
