THIS is the terrifying moment that a ferry almost capsized in Ardrossan, Scotland, as adverse weather conditions sweep across the United Kingdom.
Stunned drivers watched in horror as the vessel was dragged across rough seas, heading into the direction of the road which was filled with cars waiting to embark.
Recorded by local resident William Campbel, the video has since gone viral on social media, with thousands of users remarking that they would have ‘ran out of their cars in terror’.
