The 3,150m long Lefortovo tunnel in Russia is the longest in-city tunnel in the entire world. It is nicknamed 'The Tunnel of Death'.

See for yourself why. There is a river running over the tunnel, and water leaks through in some areas. When the temperature reaches nearly 0°C (as it does during the Winter in Russia), the road freezes and becomes as slippery as hell.

The result is the attached video which was taken during a single day with the tunnel surveillance camera. Congratulations to the bendy-bus driver - imagine the passengers in the back! What a ride!

The next time you complain about traffic, remember this video.....Russian Engineering (apologies in advance Yuri hide )
