A man has attained fame after running across a pool of water without sinking. The dad who is a scaffolder has become an internet sensation with the viral video.
Scott Crosby performs the miracle by walking on water without sinking
He is the man of the moment! Scott Crosby, 27, was filmed sprinting across a swimming pool without sinking – as his stunned mates watched on. Because of that, many have hailed him as the next Jesus.
While doing the miracle, he only got his toes wet crossing the 12.5 metre pool, stumbling just once towards the end of the run. Scott, from Blythe, Northumberland, said: “They all call me Jesus now.
“I had no practice. If someone dares me to do something, I don’t back out.
“I nailed it first time with a bit of speed.
“I’m a bit of a ‘Jack the Lad’, a bit of a primate, so I just went for it.”
But all was not as it seemed as Scott, a scaffolder, crossed the pool thanks to a barely-noticeable layer of material just under the surface.
It was not actually a miracle, but a trick.

Scott said: “Some people who watched it genuinely thought I was walking on water at first.
“My balance started to go towards the end but if anyone asks, I definitely walked on water.
“We had a bit of downtime after finishing the job and someone bet that I wouldn’t be able to make it across.
“I had a decent run which gave me a bit of momentum and crossed in one piece.”
As he jumped out at the far end of the pool, his friends can be heard shouting “Jesus” in appreciation of the stunt.
