Vodka Avalanche Buries Drunk Forklift Driver

by The Discovering Alcoholic on November 4, 2009


A fitting video for a nation that is being crushed by rampant alcoholism, the clip is of a drunk Russian forklift driver that brings down an avalanche of vodka and cognac. The inebriated version of Murphy’s Law, the Luck of the Drunk, was in effect and fortunately no one was seriously injured in the accident. I had intended to relate this accident to Russia’s current public health campaign against alcohol abuse, but it seems the NY Times News Blog has preempted me with Tackling the Russian God.

Thanks for the post.
Wow…what a video! Scary. I used to work in a warehouse, so now I know what could have happened if I’d been drinking on the job.
Was he okay?
