Donald Campbell's jet-engined hydroplane Bluebird sinks following trial runs on Lake Mead in Nevada

The video discusses the jet-propelled hydroplane Bluebird, piloted by Donald Campbell, as it undergoes trial speed runs at Lake Mead. The Bluebird, designed with a jet engine similar to aircraft power plants, faces challenges like the water barrier at high speeds. During a trial, rough water prevents reaching top speeds, and the Bluebird sinks due to water entering the tailpipe. Campbell escapes unharmed, and the Bluebird requires salvage and repairs for further testing.
