two bottom photos are from the first bridge collapse - this time only one span was damaged, and there's no fire on the railway

similarly video 5 is from exercises on kerch bridge which used smoke generator and happened some two or three months ago. it has been much darker than that at the time of posting, and entire incident happened at night

“This morning we all started with information about the emergency that happened on the Crimean bridge. We all saw a video on the internet of a damaged car with Belgorod number plates,” Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote. “The girl was injured, moderately injured … The hardest thing is that her parents died, dad and mom.”

I can hear how russian propaganda machinery starts turning. I'll bet my ass they'll make this girl famous now.

Any context for the third video? I'd rather not watch.

Walk-around of a crashed vehicle. At night, no cars in front.

Looks like a road segment shifted and they ended up hitting another road segment head on. The engine bay of the car is destroyed but the hood is pretty undamaged. The vehicle is stopped right at the edge of two road segments.

The driver looks to have gotten out OK (airbag deployed, no blood visible on driver side). A woman in a long dress is seen briefly standing near the car during one of the camera pans.

The passenger may have been sleeping in the back of the car without a seat belt and was thrown partway through the front windshield. Passenger side air bag was not deployed.

The passenger (a young woman) is talking the whole video, upper torso on the dash and through the windshield, elbows on the hood of the car. Her lower body is over the center console (still attached to her upper body).

There's a blue pillow on the floor between the back and front seats.

~~No~~Little blood visible, consistent with scratches and light cuts from going through the windshield (on right forearm). Some red fluid (transmission fluid) can be seen pooled under the driver side.

They may be waiting for medical personnel before moving her.

No fire, smoke, or burn marks visible. There is a bit of smoke at about 50s from what used to be the engine bay.

Edit: Re-watched, corrected above.

Woman stuck in a windshield up to her torso, still alive.

Damn, thanks for the info.

She looks pretty banged up, but no bits appear to be missing. She actually looks better off than most of the Russian soldiers I've seen video of grenades being drone-dropped on.

That is not really a great indication of being healthy

In a car registered in Belgorod

She's still fucking moving. Don't watch.

I think NSFL is a little over the top. It's not particularly gory or anything.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I hope the whole bridge would collapse and be rendered useless.

Are those last two images from the current situation? All the videos so far have been during the night, and I didn't see any sign of a major fire. Those images look more like the first hit the bridge took, which set the rail bridge on fire as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

no, this time only one span was dropped and not entirely at that, but instead it got twisted. also no fire this time

Removed, thank you!
