    Default whoa! Whoa! WHOA!!!!

    This 3150 m long tunnel in Russia is the longest in-city tunnel 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 the attached video taken during a single day with the tunnel camera.

    btw, if you like the song, it's Avalon (Jacques Lu Mix is good) by Juliet. I like it too and it took me awhile to find it.

    oh, duh, I see someone wrote it in the comments

    never mind!

    What really cracked me up was the other drivers that just turned on thier blinkers to get in the other lanes to go around them.

    I don't see how that all happened in one day, though. That would snarl traffic up for hours at a time. And yeah, the blinker thing was hilarious.

    There IS 24 hours in one day.... and I could easily believe all that happened over that period of time. There is no time/date stamp on the video ... regardless... WHOA definately!

    This is why I'm extra paranoid and careful driving in the rain !! Thankfully I live in a climate where snow is unheard of ... the closest to snow I have here is hail stones.

    Mr. C, given how many accidents I've had bus drivers tell me they've seen in a day, I could honestly see this being a (very atypical) single day. I am still a bit sceptical.

    Guys, considering the road was frozen I don't see how it seems so impossible to have that many wrecks in a spot in one day. Have yall not seen or heard of all the multiple crashes that go on in the US when roads freeze over??

    Also, considering things most likely don't work the same in Russia as they do here, I'm betting it's possible an accident doesn't clog the whole road as long there as it does here. Did you not notice how people immediately started going around the wrecks? Didn't seem to be the gawkfest ordeal it is when someone crashes over here.

    Russia isn't in Europe. I know, I know.

    Anyway, it doesn't surprise me that so many people wiped out (hell, I live in Minnesota!) but what surprised me was that there were so few chain-reaction collisions. Whoever makes the brakes on those cars does a great job. And that bus driver deserves a medal--though he probably had a heart attack as soon as he was done swerving.

    Huh?

    But actually, it is. At least part of it Rest is in Asia. Only country to be physically located on two continents. I remembered that from my 5th grade geography class
