It's crazy how strong these rally cars are built. Takes out a power pole, and drives away from it (damaged, but still moving under own power).

Looked like one of the ground crew or audience was inches from getting crushed by that pole.

Russian Plane Crash Video Captures Moment Of Impact

Posted: 12/30/2012 11:01 am EST | Updated: 12/30/2012 11:54 pm EST


Russian plane crash: Dashboard camera footage captured the moment of impact when a passenger plane crashed into a highway near Moscow's Vnukovo Airport Saturday.
Video from a dashboard camera captured the moment of impact when a passenger plane crashed into a highway at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport.

The Red Wings Tu-204 was empty except for crew when it rolled off the runway at Russia's third-busiest airport Saturday, breaking into three pieces and later catching on fire. Cars on the road were hit with debris from the plane.

Of the eight crew members aboard at the time of the crash, five have died, including the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer and two flight stewards.

Four crew members were pronounced dead at the scene, while a fifth succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash, according to RT.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated. According to SkyNews, it is thought that light snowfall at the time of the crash may have obscured the pilot's view of the runaway, contributing to human error.

Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for Russia's main investigative agency, was quoted by Russian news agencies Sunday as saying the data recorders were being examined, along with fuel samples, the Associated Press reports. Flight documents for the plane have been taken from the airline for examination.

Dashboard cameras are popular in Russia as a way of substantiating claims in court, according to Animal New York.

I think these would fit right in the "What Not to Do When Driving" thread. With that said, I don't want to drive in Russia anytime ever. Seems like a few people like to just stop in the road and no one notices. And I thought some drivers on the roads here in NJ were bad; they got nothing on the drivers in those videos.

Most are driving way too fast in the snow. The rest just don't know how to make a u-turn...

Oh and traffic signals are merely suggestions as are lane markers. Right turn from middle lane, sure!
