Hammond had a major accident on the Grand Tour Scotland special and Jeremy or James didn’t help him out of it. <\/p>
Jeremy Clarskson, Richard Hammond and James May are hitting the road for The Grand Tour<\/a> Scotland special.<\/p>\n The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown arrives on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, 30th July and will the see the guys driving around some American cars in the Scotland Highlands.<\/p>\n It\u2019s never a dull moment when these three are together, and one of Jeremy Clarkson\u2019s highlights from the Grand Tour special<\/a> includes a scene in which Hammond\u2019s boat sinks.<\/p>\n Speaking to press including RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Hammond opened up about the moment he realised his boat was going under.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mind isn\u2019t the quickest of devices at the best of times and there really wasn\u2019t an opportunity for much to go through it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cEssentially I was pulling a big platform with Jeremy on it in a little fishing boat and I tied the rope off to one side. Long story short, I gave it a little bit of a tug and it started to rock, and then Jeremy said, \u2018Go on! Pull harder,\u2019 so I gave it all the throttle and it split and it sank.\u201d<\/p> Hammond insists the scene wasn\u2019t scripted, adding: \u201cYou see on camera in real time. And by the way, this was very much not expected. If that had been a stunt, it would have been two days work and it never would have been as good.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have one little GoPro camera mounted on the boat, which kept me in frame as it sank, but\u00a0 you see it sinks in about 10 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n The petrolhead says the moment was only made worse by the fact that neither Clarkson, May and any of the crew members helped him while he was sinking.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd you\u2019ll also notice, because as ours is a show thrives on failure (it\u2019s just as bloody well isn\u2019t it) nobody jumped in the water to save me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere wasn\u2019t a safety boat because we weren\u2019t doing anything to demand it. So everybody just walked and picked up their cameras and filmed as I splashed about wearing a pair of big blue jeans and a sweater and a wet jacket, which isn\u2019t the best swimming in, it turns out!\u201d<\/p>\n Hammond had a major accident on the Grand Tour Scotland special and Jeremy or James didn’t help him out of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":2447,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me.jpg",620,413,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me.jpg",620,413,false],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me.jpg",620,413,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me.jpg",620,413,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/richard-hammond-opens-up-about-the-moment-his-boat-sank-on-the-grand-tour-scotland-special-nobody-saved-me.jpg",620,413,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Hammond had a major accident on the Grand Tour Scotland special and Jeremy or James didn't help him out of it.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/2446"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
