Christ.

From the bottom half of the Internet,

Russian passenger jet crashes at Moscow's Vnukovo airport

Red Wing Airlines? Tu-204 aircraft reportedly carrying 12 crew but no passengers when it ran off runway and burst into flames

Bloody Hell 😯

Is that a wheel that ricochets off the underside of that structure and broadsides the car in front?

The Russians don't have a very good safety record when it comes to flying, do they.

Stuff me. I'll be more careful driving past Heathrow now!
Is that the crash that's been in the news?

PP - yes, it is mate.

The cockpit, which separated from the fuselage, ends up just behind where matey pulls his/her car over.

I pity that driver and the carnage he/she would have been exposed to.

It seems that just about every crazy dash mounted video is from Russia....

That one kinda takes some beating, mind.

I was pretty surprised how well the car that got clouted by the undercarriage wheel coped.

I'm impressed that the bloke in the camera car doesn't say a word!

Wow! As tlr says, how does the driver manage to stay quiet?!

That car in front seems to notice something happening and brakes - If he hadn't have braked the lump of plane would've missed him!

I read somewhere that it's very common for Russian drivers to have dash mounted video, for all sorts of reasons, usually legal.

Amazing film, astonishing that the car hit by the wheel stayed in control, and pulled over further up the road!
I think I'd leave the dent in the car, just to show people what I survived. 😯

Insurance claims might be a bit fraught without video evidence...

what a crazy place to drive. From this it appears:

1. Lada drivers a completely and utterly sh!tfaced most of the time.
2. Excessive closing speeds and inappropriate speed for visibility seem to be the cause of the biggest smashes. Applicable in UK too....
