Authorities noticed the man's ludicrous floating device while patrolling the water around a mile from the coastline. It turned out that the man, a 53-year-old native of Tashkent, was attempted to make the crossing from the Russian mainland to the Crimean peninsula via his rickety, hand-made contraption. Police gave the traveller a warning for violating the marine travel laws and sent him on his way.

Called the 816 Nuclear Military Plant, the former underground fallout shelter and nuclear energy production facility is now recognized as the world's largest man-made cave.
