Bus Going Down
Crazy story happened in the Russian city of Perm a few days ago: a city bus lost control of its brakes at the top of a hill and careened down a busy street smashing cars, kiosks and generally wreaking a path of destruction.
Fortunately (for us) a street camera caught some of it on tape. Check out the video to see what happens when bus meets pedestrian. Does he live?? Watch and see.

In soviet russia bus misses you
Lol, best englishrussia.com comment ever!
Was anyone hurt? It would be amazing if everyone was okay, and only the vehicles were damaged.
No-one dead, but some hospitalized with injuries. The reason was not the brakes failure, but the automatic gearbox malfunctioning - the driver couldn’t either lower the gear, nor switch off the engine, nor use the brakes effectively. The driver was sober, sane and not bombed, the bus has passed the usual maintenance checkup that morning. I’m from Perm itself.
Nobody was hurt. This bus is from jewish firm.

Useless Russians! Buying olde discarded German buses which no more made it through inspection there (see sign at the bus on one of the pics reading “…hausplatz”)
And then that! Owner of bus will have some probs. Usually private buses there and not owned by town…
Not quite.
1. Russians start picking up on making their own buses(rip-offs, of course) and i know what’s scarier.
2. Maybe it’s human factor. Being a driver in the city isn’t a pleasant work so some countrymen go to the city every morning, take the driver’s seat and work out a change so long you wouldn’t believe. Sleeping and driving is reality.
3. Driver will be fired and get a court sentence, actual owner might get insurance
Buy Israeli made buses, they are the best in the world.
When shit happens only people inside suffers…
Man, if that wasn’t the closest shave you’ve ever seen then I don’t know what is! (talking about the guy running for his life).
And wouldn’t it be possible to break the bus with engine - shift gears down and then use the handbrake?
Holy SHIT. Luckiest man in the world right now!
damn, my uncle was in a political prison camp in Perm. Only got out in 88.
fuck that place.
Well, I am happy to see the Porsche Cayenne wrecked as the accident actually improved the way it looks. However, the wrecked Ladas make me sad. Such pretty little cars ruined by a poorly maintained bus…:(
What’s the big deal? Hasn’t anyone seen and express bus before?
Actually it wasn’t only breaks problem. This accident happened because his accelerator pad stucked. Powerfull diesel engine with automatic transmission and the breaks became useless
Some times it really is trues if it is “not your time to go”.
Look how he starts from the middle of the zebra and when the car gets close starts to slide down VERY smoothly. I say slide because visually I can’t see him turn his body or detect any change of direction in his feet - but this could be because of the very bad quality. Also see how the lamp-posts, the other pedestrian in the left top corner and cars have very little shadows as if the sun were directly above and he on the other hand has a very long one - maybe this is not a shadow just a very strange reflection off the wet pavement. But when the bus shines its light on to his leg at the end then there has to be a shadow but here is not…
omg the light is actually coming from the right headlight ??? anyway the sliding is fishy
Why didn’t the driver just turn off the engine? I don’t think
this was an accident.
In Soviet Russia, bus ride YOU!
Accident?No good.
