Offtopic quicksand scene

[Billie Bonce]

... because we love damsels in distress, not tractors in distress

However, it's amazing how strong is the grip of quicksand. Should give you a hint about possibility of using tractors, winches, helicopters, and other sources of brute force to pull out a person trapped in quicksand.

LOL, I remember this strip. But it seems the cow wasn't ripped in two. Instead, it was catapulted by bungee cord and experienced the joy of free flight

What's the Russian word for "Oops"?

[nachtjaeger]

Very common to rescue a truck from a mudhole minus the rear axle, but never seen anything like that before.

^^Never seen an axle come off but I have seen winch cables snap, medium size trees pulled out of the ground and on one memorable occasion an entire bumper ripped free and catapulted about 50 yards. Dig it free before towing it lol.

One of the acquaintances I have made here in Tennessee is a second generation tow truck driver.

Some of the stories I've heard have convinced me to stick to safer means of making a living.

Funny video though, in this case.

What's the Russian word for "Oops"?

I seriously doubt that this was approved by authorities as a part of cultural exchange program, so I have to improvise

In general, instead of "oops" the Russians would say "oy" (like in "boy"). By "in general" I mean "in polite society".

Instead of this, in most cases Russian men would say "blyad' " what literally means "whore". This is one of the most common swearwords that may express irritation, jitters, anger, disappointment, and in some cases even delight. Formally this word should never be used in written text or in the presence of women. But during last 20 years the taboo became weaker. Some writers use this word (and other equally rude words), and many women also do it. Surely, exactly this word sounds from voice recorders of all crushed planes.
