Lefortovo tunnel in Russia The 3,150 m long Lefortovo tunnel in Russia is the longest in-city tunnel in all the world. It is nicknamed 'The Tunnel of Death'. See for yourself why. There is a river running over the tunnel, and water leaks through in some areas. When the temperature reaches nearly 0°C (like it does during the Winter in Russia) the road freezes and becomes slippery. The result is the video, which was taken during a single day with the tunnel Surveillance camera. Congratulations to the dual-carriage bus driver - imagine the passengers in the back! What a ride! The next time you complain about traffic, remember this video...Russian Engineering! http://www.postmaster.co.uk/fs/cj_brown ... fdeath.wmv |

Whoa, scary. I think the bus driver did rather well to minimise the size of that accident. and I love the Lada at the end with the exploding fuel tank. It didn't seem to have all that much provocation either? |

Um, so why don't they drive slower in icy conditions? I thought Russian TV turning it into a music video was a bit off... |
