Wienhausen in Lower Saxony: Driver rescued from sinking car. Rescue workers slash the roof of the convertible and save her life.
The car then rose back to the surface and could be pulled ashore with a winch. To recover the car, divers then attached several air cushions to the vehicle, so-called lifting bags, so that it could be recovered.
