We were just starting to reach a point of boredom when it came to Russian dash cam videos. Every day, the same ridiculous crashes and occasion displays of fist power. However, we’ve just come across a clip that shows a new level of insanity on Russian roads.
The video below shows a truck carrying gas tanks. The vehicle crashes and its cargo flies all around the highway, with the tanks starting to blow up. Here’s what the uploader of the clip, tells us: “36 of these gas tanks exploded over a period of about 10 minutes”

Some of the tanks were sent flying around, but fortunately there were no casualties, as people quickly fled the scene, some even abandoning their cars. Even the truck driver survived, having ran into the woods.
