Also I'd like to believe that the blue truck driver toward the end is the best of the best.

(it may or may not also involve drivers who have no sense of direction, miss their exit and end up 2 states over from where they meant to be, which happened to someone in one of my classes in high school) I've known multiple people like this. Thankfully in the age of smartphones, showing them poo poo like this and reinforcing "just take the next exit, find a place to pull over and google maps your way from there" tends (generally) to solve the issue.

I live in Munich, and whenever there's traffic jams on the middle ring encircling the center (always) , Google maps will suggest some alternate routes to you as usual. Since moving to Munich, I've discovered that not just a few, but a lot of them are supremely illegal.

I've had a similar thing happen in the Netherlands. Roads that are closed certain hours of the day. Google doesn't know and just routes you over them. Tomtom is supposed to have much more detailed information about that, but I haven't used their products in years because it costs money.

Navigon is supposed to as well. I’ve pretty much gone back to it, because I can’t trust Google Maps or Apple Maps anymore.

There's no need for a crane in St. Petersburg, Russia. To get to a roof there you get a bucket and a shovel, and wait for a low tide.

If I had to guess it's an amphibious excavator they repaired the track compartments on and they were taking it for a test drive (float?) it didn't work and one side got swamped. Amphibious excavator tracks are sealed and move in and out to give it buoyancy, usually. Edit: also for deep water and heavier machines they put extra floats on on sides of the tracks and that one didn't have them.

Indian runaway train takes 1,000 passengers on engineless journey Twenty two carriages roll out of control for seven miles in Odisha state before being stopped by rocks placed on track. India’s railway ministry said a “ghastly” accident had narrowly been avoided after 22 passenger carriages carrying about 1,000 people became detached from a train engine and sped backwards for miles before being stopped. The runaway carriages rolled for seven miles in the north-eastern state of Odisha before being brought to a shuddering halt by rocks placed on the tracks by railway staff.

Ferrari mechanic suffers broken legquote:A Ferrari team mechanic has been hospitalised with a broken leg after being struck by Kimi Raikkonen's car during a botched tyre change at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The tyre didn't "hit" the leg as much as "roll over it and then do a burnout on it". The mechanic was insanely out of position, he literally had his leg leaning against the grip face of the tyre. https://i.imgur.com/WZ8vM9V.gifv Putting up an  tag, don't click unless you want to see his left shin go all floppy.

Charles posted:The plane was trying to take off though. I think someone tried to steal it. The tail was almost dragging. It certainly wasn't operating at full power or ability. Something like that should be able to take off in that distance. Joy ride/drunk would explain it. Memento posted:Ferrari mechanic suffers broken leg If his counterpart on the other side means anything he was in the correct position to do what he was doing. Seems like a case of GOGOGO. They didn't even get a chance to take the nuts off let alone change it or to say there was an issue.
