FW: Russian Tunnel of Death
*READ BEFORE WATCHING*
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 as slippery as hell.
The attached video which were 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.
