Dived in, tried to help, couldn't get him out. Completely shocking.

Of the 9 or 10 customs officials and police on the quay only 1 went in to try and get him out as the car sank. The rest watched. Jesus...

Am shaking with shock and anger. So much for the Greek holiday trade being business as usual.
