Don’t ever dismiss Russian dash-cam videos until the fat lady from Samara sings. More often than not, there’s a head-scratching, surprise-ending awaiting for you right around the corner.

What starts as a scene from another boring day in rush-hour traffic, soon explodes (literally) into a potentially dangerous situation – imagine if this had happened on a highway at triple-digit speeds (km/h of course, of course) .

You’re free to speculate on what caused the Lada Samara’s cargo area to burst and throw all of its contents into the air in the comments box after you watch the video.
