    My wife said she watched the whole video (the one on the link cut off on me). She said once the driver cleared the water, there was a light colored cloud of smoke pouring out of the stack as it drove away.

    "So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion

    To rock the boat, don't rock the boat, baby
    Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
    Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
    Rock the bo-aaatt"

    Yes looked like steam coming out of the exhaust stack. Guessing he was drawing a bunch of water into the air intake. If a strong enough stick floated into the engine compartment it could tangle with the fan and break off all the blades-- boom
