Canada motorhome rammed a ferry in Hollywood jump

In the canadian province of Quebec exactly two months ago, there was an unusual accident – respectable size motorhome in a "Hollywood" jump got already departed from the Marina river ferry.
Great motorhome at a great speed flew on the loading ramp of the ferry dock and jumping as he described an arc in the fall, taking the edge has departed the ferry, crowded with cars and filled with people. Surprisingly, the only victim of the spectacular accident was the driver of the motorhome, and the number of seriously affected only the passenger of the motorhome.

The incident happened on the ferry crossing to the village of Tadoussac at the mouth of the Saguenay river about 250 kilometres North-East of Quebec city. This small settlement, so it is home to less than a thousand inhabitants, but at the same time it is one of these historical sites not only across Canada, but also North America, as it is the oldest, i.e. the first settlement of the province of Quebec, based in Fort already in 1600. Besides, it is in this village is the oldest in all of North America, the wooden Church, so it's only natural that the continent is relatively poor archaeological and historical sites, this town has become one of the serious centers of attraction for tourists.

Respectively, and a ferry with a length of 1.6 km, i.e. one land mile, also very popular. The crossing time is only 10 minutes. However, the tragedy took only a few seconds.
what is seen on video surveillance extending from the ferry landing (entry was posted the canadian Global News Agency) recalled numerous Hollywood blockbuster, but here unfortunately it happened, though without necessarily for cinematic standards of gas tank explosion at the end was 100 percent real tragedy: marhoum throughout the course enters the hill on an inclined loading ramp as the ramp is flying right on the deck of the ship. The passengers of the ferry, and before that, and pedestrians on the road were able to see the danger because the driver of the motorhome 40-year-old Eric Belek losing the brakes continued to honk as they could to hold their rabid car to lapping along the road a metal gate, had rushed in all directions, so that the wreckage of the collapsed aft of the motorhome touched only the next car, however the passenger of the motorhome was seriously injured.
As in recent years there have been numerous incidents of intentional assaults cars, some time this incident rassmatrivali possible terrorist attack, but, according to CBS News, the police still inclined to believe that this is just an accident because of failure of the braking system of the motorhome.
The mayor of Tadoussac expressed in that spirit that the tragedy could happen, and more terrible, if the ferry was closer to the pier and passengers on the deck would be more, and they happily managed to leave the cargo deck and moved aft into other areas of the ship. The head of the settlement said: "If the ferry cast off a couple seconds earlier or later, the result could be much worse"..
