In a practice scenario, around 15 divers from the Düsseldorf fire brigade demonstrated in the harbor basin how a car can be rescued from the water in an emergency.
On Tuesday, emergency services attached so-called lifting cushions to the sunken car at a depth of around four to ten meters, as the city announced.
This pushed the blue car to the surface of the water.
Düsseldorf - It was finally lifted out of the harbor basin and back on land with a fire brigade crane.
According to the information, the diving squadron in Düsseldorf consists of 7 instructor divers and 43 divers who work in lakes in the city or on the Rhine.
In 2020 they were called to 82 missions.
