[00:00.49]As the man tried to swing the speedboat round, the steering wheel came away in his hands.
[00:07.40]He waved desperately to his companion, who had been water skiing for the last fifteen minutes.
[00:14.29]Both men had hardly had time to realize what was happening when they were thrown violently into the sea.
[00:22.16]The speedboat had struck a buoy, but it continued to move very quickly across the water.
[00:29.48]Both men had just begun to swim towards the shore, when they noticed with dismay that the speedboat was moving in a circle.
[00:38.88]It now came straight towards them at tremendous speed.
[00:43.28]In less than a minute, it roared past them only a few feet away.
[00:49.21]After it had passed, they swam on as quickly as they could because they knew that the boat would soon return.
[00:57.37]They had just had enough time to swim out of danger when the boat again completed a circle.
[01:05.12]On this occasion, however, it had slowed down considerably.
[01:10.35]The petrol had nearly all been used up.
[01:13.92]Before long, the noise dropped completely and the boat began to drift gently across the water.
