Saw the exact thing happen on election day 1977. It had rained like hell for 3 or 4 days and the road in front of the building I was working in was under 8 feet of water. A young girl driving a new Mustang came barreling down the road and the next thing you know the car was floating. The babe was smart enough to roll down the window and swim free as the vehicle sank, but not before turning on the 4-way flashers. Those flashers we still working 5 hours later when I left work.
I was fording a bit of a flood and making it when a car came the other way and threw up a bow wave that reached the air intake next to the radiator. The resulting hydraulic lock bent all four connecting rods. A rebuilt engine fixed it at some expense. The mechanic gave me back one of the bent con rods. I hung it in the garage as a reminder not to be so stupid next time.
