And even more recently, a Buick sedan also nearly made the crossing.  They failed to complete the crossing only due to interdiction by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Actually, I read that the truck was a Chevy. Uh, which obviously doesn't make any difference. Gosh, I love those guys. I wish the CG would stop sinking their cars. You know, there's 3 or 4 shows on the Discovery Channel and such, for people doing stuff just like that.
