What about the huge crack that's probably in the pool side wall where the front corner of the car hit, huge bill to fix the pool too, not to mention the fence, what if it took out the filter unit on the way through.

I didn't think there were icebergs in QLD but you can tell it hit one and sank because the front of the car has been sliced open by a glancing blow, the chasis of the car appears to have split in two and the rear bulkheads have flooded.
I wonder what was playing on the radio when she went down |

Don't touch cars that have been flooded. I put my car into a pool once and very sadly it suffered from shrinkage of some of the parts.
