The 3,150 m long
Lefortovo tunnel in Russia, (near Poland) is the longest in-city tunnel in all
of Europe. 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 a sheet of black ice.
The result is the
attached 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 ... Yikes, Russian engineering! ...
or ... perhaps it's the vodka.
