As competitors in Sunday's Snowflake Regatta on Long Island approached the finish line, a quiet run turned into a disaster scene when one of the lead teams veered off course and crashed into a pier, reported the Riverhead News Review.
A couple of the female team members seem to plunge overboard as they hit a run of wooden posts.
"It's OK girls, keep going, get to the line!" one woman is heard yelling.
The madness in the chain of events escalates moments later, when another boat gets lodged in a reed bed and has to seek assistance.
That's when two boats are seen stuck in the middle of the course after getting in each other's way.
Frustrated bystanders start yelling in a bid to get the race going again, However, no team seems willing to budge.
Finally there is some movement, but more crashes follow and a traffic jam develops.
"If you don't know how to row don't row,' one woman shouts from the water's edge, while another simply adds: 'Just move, move!'"
Where are those Winklevoss Twins when you need them?
