Zummertor Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Couldn't see this one in search so hope not a repost. 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 VERY slippery. The result is 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! http://www.metacafe.com/watch/71801/lefortovo_tunnel_of_death/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thats scary stuff. You would have thought they would have stopped the leaks by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 what a bloody nightmare! Can't believe after ONE bad crash they wouldn't have sorted that out let alone a whole string of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 surely it would be less hassle to drive a gritter through every now and then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I wonder what the odds are of making it through the tunnel, in one piece?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neodc Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 i think its all driver error, fair enough its slippery, but most crashes are cause people are going too fast or undercutting everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
