  Happened in the village of Uryum in Eastern Russia.

  River is the Shilka river, a branch of the Amur river.
  
  Yaaaaaaay!
  
  Russia
  
  Survived
  
  Don't worry, surviving in Russia is only a temporary issue. May this man one day succeed in his quest to solve this vexing problem.
- It seems likely. That vehicle was just swallowed by a flooding river. It's technically possible the occupants escaped, but unlikely.
  
  I was hoping for a no, but thanks for the realistic analysis.
- Probably. That did not look good
- I wonder if they had time to think “I shouldn’t have tried to drive across the bridge.”
- In theory, they could get out if they rolled a window down before fully submerged or kicked through the back window.
I wouldn't drive over that thing in any conditions.
Do some of the Lemmy apps have a time scroll for videos /gifs? I'm on liftoff and I hate being unable controlmthe playback
- Sync has pause and replay
  
  and change of speed
  
  Dear Lemmy, shut the hell up about Sync already
  
  Yes, but it's sync.
- Connect does not
- Jerboa doesn't
- Memmy doesn’t, no.
- Infinity does for videos, not for gifs. It's better to request the feature for an alternative to sync, as sync is spyware and adware.
  
  Bold statement there Cotton.
Rickety my arse: look how the bridge put itself back together again after it dropped the van, all in time for the next van.
Bridge needs more triangles..
- Dang Poly Bridge 3 is out?
  
  Lmao
- Maybe a muscle or 2 too
I wouldn't trust that bridge even if the water was lower...
My man Jeremy Clarkson Speed and Powered his way right into that
- I love this so much, thank you.
Reminds me of that scene from the movie Sorcerer
- Excellent, excellent reference right there. That bridge scene is absolutely amazing.

  Piped bot 🤖 ?
- I was thinking about Clarkson tbh

yesyesyenononono.
I wouldn’t be caught driving on that bridge if it was over a bone dry riverbed.

It looks like the classic rickety rope bridge trope
- So it's a nope bridge
- Yep, that's a walk or maybe cycle over type of bridge in the best of conditions.
Was this an Amazon Delivery Executive?
~~Aero~~Hydroelastic Flutter
The death drive in this one was too strong, literally
Does anyone know where this bridge is... or should I say was?
Where do they erect such wonky bridges and people are reckless enough to drive over them?
- Russia.

- Any developing nation. Especially in more rural areas.
  
  Is Russia a developing nation? I suppose it is.
Permanently Deleted
- It's worked way more than it should have for Jeremy Clarkson... So I'm going to say yes.
