This looks worse than the Dan Ryan in winter time. ;D


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 all-get-out.

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...Russian Engineering!

Good post. Thanks.
Hope nobody was killed.
 

I don't like long tunnels. One explosion and it's over. Worse yet, a leak :-\
