Remarkable footage has surfaced from Vietnam of two excavator drivers using the mechanical arms of the vehicles to row ferries.

According to local media, the two men were on their way to repair erosion damage in Ca Mau on November 1 when they became fed up with the slow speed of the ferries and decided to put the excavators to work.

Video captured the moment of Two excavator drivers controlling the excavator bucket and row two ferries to move on the river quickly and professionally in Ca Mau, Vietnam.
According to the driver, they are on their way to the riverbank area that is being eroded for repair and rescue. To get there they had to use ferries to carry excavators. Because the speed of the ferry was slow, they used buckets of excavators to increase the speed of the ferry to quickly reach the landslide area.
In the video, the two drivers spin the excavator bucket creating a paddle to move the ferry across the water.
The driver said that operating an excavator rowing a ferry on the river requires a lot of skills and experience. Just one mistake can cause the ferry to capsize and sink.
