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.
Probably. That did not look good
I wonder if they had time to think “I shouldn’t have tried to drive across the bridge.”

Do some of the Lemmy apps have a time scroll for videos /gifs? I'm on liftoff and I hate being unable controlmthe playback
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.
Incredibly tense!

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.
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?
Any developing nation. Especially in more rural areas.
Is Russia a developing nation? I suppose it is.
