After a second glance, I noticed the guy IN the car as it hovered above the shore. What could he be up to that was so important for him to take this risky chance--looks like he's trying to find the hood release?

I agree. It looks as though those cables are doing more body damage than the accident itself. I wonder whether they could have placed some kind of cradle underneath the car before it was lifted clear of the water?
Oh well-that's the movie business

You mean you can't see the fire extinguishing foam/powder and the the big black scorch mark on the side of the car with peeling paint?

This is VERY good! You have put together a nice video that viewers of this thread will appreciate. When I look at this thread, I am happy for the 43 lucky years I have with my Giulia!

Just guessing, but that's probably a dummy that rode with the car into the deep to make it look like the driver was still behind the wheel for the movie- or maybe the body of the driver!
