Scary! Massive waves on huge road bridge send Volgograd drivers asphalt surfing
Loading...
Uploaded by RussiaToday on May 21, 2010
Motorists using a bridge in the southern Russian city of Volgograd were given the ride of a lifetime by a powerful gust of wind. The new river crossing started shaking violently and a massive downpour at the same time made conditions worse. Drivers say their cars were literally thrown into the air, many thinking it was an unexpected earthquake. The shaking was so severe it caused vehicles to career into the opposite lane creating chaos. Local authorities claim the shaking of the bridge was possibly caused by an earthquake. Seismologists, however, say this is highly unlikely. Meanwhile, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an investigation into the bridge's safety and construction history.
The bridge across Volga river is 1260 meters long and 32 meters wide. It was opened less than a year ago in October 2009.

Since when steal is elastic??

@ElSangreDelTor0 No, it's not the same. Trust me, I speak spanish natively, I know better. "El sangre" is masculine, "La sangre" is feminine, and since the word "sangre" is feminine, it must be preceded by a "la" and not an "el".
