Yanukovych gets hit with an egg in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine

This is the famous 2004 "egg incident" in Ivano-Frankivsk, when an opposition activist threw an egg at Viktor Yanukovych in public.

"Yanukovych collapsed to the ground, groaning and clutching his chest.

Initially hospitalised in intensive care, he recovered within hours and went on television to say he felt sorry for the 'wayward' youngster who had thrown the egg." (BBC News)

Excellent security detail. Why hasn't he be shot for real yet?

[alehax27]

Anyone else expecting an Orson Welles tracking shot? Words cannot express how disappointed I am.

[mew6112]

@orangeviktor I am a great fan of Portugal and it's people but I must say he'd make a bloody good Diver (Mergulhador) for the National Team:-)))

Um, Time? This isn't an orson welles tracking shot!

@eristyneisyys

I think maybe the last bit of that comment is misplaced. It belongs, not in a rant against Russia, but in a rant against the good ol' US of A.

Just sayin'

Looks like it was an egg that instantly paralyzes upon contact.
