Synchronised crashing! Two powerboats simultaneously flip while racing side-by-side

Two powerboats racing side-by-side in the Race World Offshore Key West Championships in Florida flipped simultaneously on Wednesday. The accident occurred on the fifth lap of the Super Stock race off Key West.

The fast moving boats rose perpendicular to the water between the second and third turns, before both landed upside-down.

The race was stopped on safety grounds and both teams' driver and throttleman were able to exit the overturned boats.
