Moscow Oblast, Russia - September 9, 2024

This is the remarkable moment boat patrol units 'tame' an out-of-control motorboat that threw off two men and reel it to shore with a rope.
Incredible footage shows the motorboat revving and spinning uncontrollably in the middle of the Mozhaisk water reservoir in the west of the Moscow region, Russia, on Monday, 9th September.

Two men were on the vessel fishing when it suddenly began circling on its own while it left with the engine running.

The men were thrown overboard and the motorboat continued moving at high speed by itself.

Witnesses saw the men get tossed into the water and pulled them out to safety, then alerted emergency services.

Members of the 308th Fire and Rescue Unit Mosoblpozhspas came to the scene and threw a rope onto the vessel's propeller.

This way, they managed to shut down the boat's engine.

After that, the boat was boarded and towed to the shore. There, it was handed over to its owner.
