Two aid workers got to have a little fun while doing a greater good Saturday when they broke into a Coca-Cola warehouse – with permission – to take 14 cases of water back to Hurricane Harvey victims.

Bill Zang, who owns Hovercraft Unlimited, drove down to Beaufort, Texas all the way from Illinois this weekend to help with relief efforts. Along the way, he used a hovercraft to rescue a man from a flooded highway.

Once he got to Beaufort, his services were needed once again. Coca-Cola representatives had recently let local firefighters know that a nearby warehouse had thousands of water bottles inside, but due to flooding, hadn't been reached yet. That's where Zang came in.

Zang told USA Today firefighters asked him if he could use his hovercraft to get close to the facility. So on Saturday afternoon, he and a buddy, Sam Byers, floated over to the warehouse armed with a hand saw and hammer.

The duo broke open the lock with their tools and the facility's gate swung open, according to USA Today, causing Byers to happily admit, "This is so much fun!"

Inside, there were huge quantities of soda and Dasani water. The two carried 14 cases of water out to the hovercraft, which they then delivered to National Guard troops to distribute to evacuees of Hurricane Harvey.
