Wow. Talk about a hazardous commute. The guy in this car had to change his undies after this. Keep your eyes to the right.

Эксклюзивные кадры момента катастрофы Ту-204 Red Wings - YouTube

The plane was a TU-204 (= Boeing 727) which has a very good safety record. Just what went wrong they don't know yet but it appears it over shot the runway in high winds and snowy conditions.

No passengers were onboard, only crew and airline employees. Considering the time of year I will bet my right arm and left leg they will find alcohol was involved.

That piece of road hit the car in front smack dab in the middle... they couldn't have aimed that any better.

That looked more like one of the airplanes tires Snooze.

Really? I watched it twice and I thought it was a chunk of asphalt from the edge of the road. Well, in either case, the aim was amazing.

I had to watch this twice. WoW

Where was this ? WA state

Can you imagine - the guy in the red car has no idea what just happened?

took him a while just to figure out to pull over - scared the hell out of him.

What I found interesting is that if you watch it in full screen and are looking for it you can see the plane coming in under the bridge....so how did, what appears to be a tire; end up on the bridge? the plane appeared up right to me.

Next I wondered why the bridge did not buckle or break apart with a plane equal to a Boeing 727 trying to pass under it?

And last, does this driver always video tape his drives? I will admit I shoot images of everything under the sun but doesn't it seem odd that this driver was video taping his ride home?

Anyway....good clip Scrat.

This happened not 24 hours ago in Moscow Russia. Video cams in cars is standard operational requirements due to insurance fraud.

Can you read Cyrillic script, Scrat?

I've noticed a lot of Russian videos from cars on youtube, I figured it must be common for them to have dashboard cams.

Yikes!

I can read Cyrillic pretty well, the title says "passerby captures moment of catastrophe". They have the black boxes, a 5th person has died. There was high winds with drifting snow that obscured visibility and may have contributed to the disaster. The rescue services got there as quickly as they could but due to the horrible traffic conditions the victims were delayed getting to hospitals. It is said that the first ambulance did not arrive for almost an hour, all the victims had to help them was the rescue services and the people from the road. One good Samaritan was burned severely trying to get someone out of the plane. Luckily there was not a lot of fuel on board and the fire was not bad.

I remember there was a time I was in Moscow at Shremetyevo international. We landed in blizzard conditions and frankly it was a little hair raising. I know it was our second attempt and I know we landed on one wheel. We parked out on the tarmac and when we deplaned I saw snowplows everywhere, visibility was about 100 meters on the ground. It was about -10c there was a kind of fog. The Airport kept right on operating. I have to admire the cajones of some of those Russian pilots.

That's incredible!!!

Cams in every car?
