Images outside the Russian embassy in Bucharest where a man died after ramming his car into the gates of the building and setting himself on fire inside the vehicle. Romanian media said the driver headed an NGO for fathers' rights and was on Tuesday sentenced to 15 years in prison for molesting his underage daughter. IMAGES
A Russian man had a rude awakening when he found his car buried under a massive snowbank in the northern Siberian city of Norilsk on Thursday. The temperature was -31 degrees Celsius, or -23.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and heavy blizzards formed the literal mountain of snow, which completely at his auto. The car owner diligently dug for over two hours to finally free the car from the snowdrift.
One very inebriated man named Ruslan Nigmatullin did a very stupid thing as he tried to evade the police during a car chase in Russia's Kazan. He drove onto the grounds of an airport and got himself boxed in between the terminal and his pursuers. With no where else to turn, the drunk 40 year old decided to try to smash into the airport building and repeatedly rammed the glass doors leading to a terminal of the Kazan International Airport on Wednesday night. Nigmatullin finally broke through the dooor and his car swerved into the baggage claim, only stopping after he crashed into a small restaurant. He also tore down an auto barrier, hit some vehicles in a parking lot and caused more damage inside the terminal. No one was injured in the incident and police detained the driver. The airport's cost of damages is estimated at 6 million rubles, or nealy 100 thousand dollars. Credit: kazanreporter.ru
Footage captured by traffic cameras in the Russian resort city of Sochi on Wednesday shows the moment a car is struck by oncoming traffic at high-speed and ejects the driver before managing perfect U-turn and pulling in right next to a parked car and coming to a perfect stop. The white Lada Riva vehicle was struck by an oncoming car while attempting to cross a dual carriageway illegally. The force of the impact threw the driver onto the middle of the street and witnesses rushed to help the driver back on to his feet and safely off the road. Seeming to have a mind of its own, the unmanned vehicle weaved through traffic without even leaving a scratch.
Tired of struggling through the snow in Russia's cold winter, 59-year old inventor Nikolay Rodin built a snowplough to clear the rads using a classic Soviet Lada car in his Siberian home city of Barnaul. The bumbling beast of car, rattling through the roads on giant caterpillar tracks with a freshly painted Lada chassis, should probably be called the Soviet Snowplow from now on. It took Nikolay three months to convert the old Lada 2107 Zhiguli into a snowplough, which he uses to clear the roads near his home. The caterpillar tracks on Rodin's home-made snowplough allows the vehicle to turn a full 360 degrees. Now his neighbours call him 'Uncle Kolya' - he's become famous in his neck of the city for his ability to restore cars and to build high quality car prototypes. What do you think about clearing some roads with the Soviet Snowplow?
