Go pour yourself a cold drink, sit down in front of your computer, go to YouTube and type in "Russian Dash Cam" and enjoy!

A healthy national apatite for alcahol contributes a lot to the accident rate.

Damn.

The luckiest man on Earth is definitely the guy that missed BOTH Malaysia Airlines flights... this guy only cheated death once. No big deal.

The direct translation will not make sense since some words' direct meaning do not match with the way the are used in Russian.

For instance the first word said by the man is Bl'ad' which literally means "whore" but is not used as such in this meaning. Essentially its used as a verbal exclamation point at the end of a phrase or on its own. In this instance it could be used as "Oh Shit"

The next one I can't make out, then I hear "Bitch" [Suka] and "**** your mother" [Yob tvayu mat']

Cursing in Russian is very complex. For all its vocabulary, English if very poor in the cursing department and translating Russian cursing is nearly impossible. I try to teach my wife how to properly curse in Russian but its a struggle. You can speak entire sentences, using curses for everything; nouns, pronouns, verbs and adjectives and it will make perfect grammatical sense.

There are countless verbs that are derived from the word "pussy" alone. To Lie, to steel, to drive, to work and so on. Its fascinating!

And there is our Russian lesson for the day. Reminds me I need to polish up on mine some once I get things settled here with new job. Caught some of what was said, but not all, then again I was more looking at the screen, like, the hell? Did the son of a bitch stick the landing? **** me! Lol.
