leighblackYou have to download and watch this video!
from BoingBoing:
Michael sez, "The 3,150 m long Lefortovo tunnel, in Russia, is the longest in-city tunnel in all of Europe. There is a river running over it and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches -38 degrees like it did this winter, the road freezes and the result is black ice and a dangerous collision course. Speeding drivers don't help matters. These pictures, taken with a security camera inside the tunnel, shows the results. The collisions are quite astounding."
This is some of the scariest traffic-accident footage I've ever seen -- cars on a black skating rink disintegrating as they ping-pong back and forth down the length of the narrow tunnel. Not for the faint of heart.
