The NFL retirement star Terlli Owens was blocked in an Uber while the rise in flood waters filled the vehicle on an abandoned Indianapolis street during the weekend.
Owens managed to record the test, while calling Uber support in panic while dark water infiltrated the car cabin and up to its windows.
“I’m going to have to swim outside this cup in a minute,” is heard the temple of fame.
As Owens explained to the operator Uber, its driver tried to pass a flooded passage when the vehicle lost energy, failing the two men inside.
“The driver tried to cross this water,” said Owens. “We are stuck and we need help. I am in Indianapolis. I don’t know where we are. I can’t even see this street.
“Oh my God is crazy. Ah look at that, I’m in the stuck car. I am stuck under this viaduct that the driver tried to cross this water and we are stuck. We need help.

Water levels have reached the car windows, as we can see in the video that the Owens have published on Instagram
“The water is up to par,” he said to Uber. “The battery is dead – like nothing – the car is stopped. We are literally in the middle of the water.
Owens is understood to call distant passers -by, who did not seem to hear his cries for help.
The former star of San Francisco 49ers was in town for his Nit Championship match of Alma Mater with UC Irvine on Thursday. Chattanooga would finally win this match to win the first nit title of school.
While Owens was temporarily blocked on the east side of the city, many on the south side had a similar flood problem last week.
“I have been trapped several times,” said Abigail Forrello, a resident on the south side, at Fox59.com “and we all sit at the end of the street and look at people enter and take out and take pictures and videos and make a supposition game of who will pass and who will not pass and warn people who do not exceed this point.”
Forrello was forced to evacuate his house with her nine -month -old baby.
“People stay somewhere during the night before it is bad, either they park their cars on the other side of the street and walk, but fundamentally, you are trapped until it was going down that evening or the next day,” said Forrello. “Or in this case a few days because it was a flood constantly since Thursday.”
