7. The dog makes it through!

Watch it again. Watch the front left corner of the car. After the accident the dog can be seen jumping up and trotting away.

Looks like he might have made it through alright. Hard to know, but he was moving under his own power.

9. Thanks. I wasn't quite ready to watch it again. :) nt

4. Seen several of these, but this is about the ?worst?

in terms of outrageous accidents.
Starting off with a car dropping out of the sky was a hell of a start.

5. Toward the end

The dude that blonde woman helped out through the windshield is one lucky boy.

6. No kidding

When he crashed, I thought he was a dead duck for sure.

8. Driving in Russia could be the next reality TV show

The Russian appear to be pretty hardy. I can't believe that most of them walked away from those accidents.

And where in the hell did that car come from out of the sky?

10. The reason there is so much video

of bad driving and accidents in Russia is because of the prevalance of dashbord cameras hooked up to hard drives to record all driving. It's the only way they can prove that an accident was not their fault, otherwise the insurance companies will not pay out the claims. This is because there is so much insurance fraud over there.

Interesting.

12. I wonder what kind of

bad driving and accidents we would see if autos in the U.S. had dashcams?

13. Seat belts anyone?

A couple of those folks obviously did not unbuckle before they exited their vehicles.

14. I suspect vodka

may have played a role in some of these.
