Driving aggressive with a truckload of bombs!; LPG cylinders go BOOM!

I don't know what country this is in but assume Russia as bad driving and dash cams are commonplace there. You would think that someone hauling an explosive load wouldn't drive so aggressive but I guess not. That vodka (liquid courage) will do that! It also doesn't look like these cylinders were secured very well. Once the first ones lit off the rest were just part of a chain reaction of explosions!

I like the guy in the opposing lane who pulls over to watch! :lol

Yeah, I thought this whole thing was pretty crazy myself. The guy in the opposing lane finally moved a little farther down when it got really exciting. I like the guy who just stops his car and jumps out when this starts. He is running back as the other car is trying to get away in reverse. It looks like some of the traffic in the opposing lanes starts to turn around and drive the wrong way on the far left after this goes on for a while to get out of the mess.

I can't believe the car that got left behind seemed to survive the whole ordeal. Wonder how shell shocked the other side is though.....

Love those Russian dashcam videos! Hours and hours of them on the internet.

Bad fire extinguishers

Be warned: not for the faint of heart.

Dasvidaniya!

Why does the guy in the little silver sedan get out and run instead of continuing on or backing up? If a fireball is about to ensue I'd rather be in a car.

It seems to me like the silver bus/RV thing cuts the driver of the propane truck off?

EDIT: Listening to the people speaking and looking at the poster's name, this might be Greece?

I was wondering about the guy that ran from his car. I would have backed mine way up, unless I owed a lot of money on it and wanted to seize the opportunity for it to hopefully blow up, or make some cash from insurance... :lol

Wow! Kind of reminds me of what might happen with a "Geo Jeff Extended Range LP conversion" when it gets rear ended. :O

I hate to piss on an entertainment parade, but personally I find nothing at all funny about the consequences of not following prudent safety practices and people's lives being put at risk because of it. Maybe too many times investigating or dealing with fatal accidents. Sort through pieces of broken airplanes that had (or still have) pieces of real people with families (some of them friends), and i guess you find this kind of thing to be anything but a joke. :dunno

I wonder how many policeman/fireman would find accident videos like this amusing?

I'm guessing that driver won't be doing that again!! The captioning is in the Cyrillic alphabet, and the language sounds a lot like Russian to me. That abandoned silver car (why????) may look good from this angle, but I'd like to see a picture of the front and right sides to see how blistered the paint is and if any plastic parts survived.

First emergency responder visible at 7:12. I guess a lot of those sirens were car alarms being set off by concussions?

Love these dashcam videos!!

I have a sneaking suspicion that the driver is seen briefly, on fire, in front of the truck as everyone starts to back up. In short, no, not funny.

Cool video. At around 4:06 it appears a tank gets propelled into the air like a missile to the upper right.

The guy who got out of the car showed poor survival instincts. Even after he got out of the car he was line of sight with the explosions / shrapnel.
