yeah, i wonder if home depot got some of these good wood. Imagine the look on the guy's face when you ask him: "hey, can this handle an suv driving over it???"
Yeah.....notice that the driver was smart enough to keep the window open, just in case the truck went in the water and he had to get out quick. Water pressure can sometimes make door openings very difficult.
While your point about pressure and door opening is valid, I'm pretty sure it was open more so that he could hear what the spotters were saying, not sure "smart" is in the equation here.

and also to stick his head out the window to see the tire position.
I don't believe those "planks" are made from wood. The vehicle looks kind of like a Tacoma Double cab which means its around 18 Ft long, making the planks somewhere around 24 to 26 ft long. Hard for me to believe a wood plank 24 ft long would hold a truck and driver that weighs around 4600 lbs. Im not even sure I would feel safe walking across a plank that long to get into the ship never mind drive a truck across them. Interesting to watch though
