Ferry fast
A car rushing for a ferry overshot the ramp at high speed and sailed 150ft through the air before crashing into the harbour.
The MPV flew over the decks of a freight ship and sunk so far out at sea that rescue teams had to use a submarine to find it.
Police in Wilhelmshaven, Germany - who are investigating the crash - say 33-year-old driver Sebastian Hupfer's body was still at the wheel when the car was hauled from the sea.
"How he couldn't see the sea coming up in front of him we'll never know but he was going so fast he took off like a plane," said one officer.
