This story happened 15 - 17 years ago. I’ll retell it from the words eyewitness As you probably remember at that time on the Moscow streets and There were few foreign cars throughout Russia. But one such meeting took place and my friend remembered it for a long time. So the crossroads. The traffic light is dead and for this reason there is a semi-automatic whistle and baton. A Citroen with license plates arrives. At that time super duper sophisticated executive car. French we tried and stuffed the car with every conceivable and inconceivable technical decisions. Including in the field of passive safety. But it’s obvious overdid it... A representative is moving behind the Citroen of the domestic automobile industry (then still domestic) "Zaporozhets" with grandfather driving. A familiar sketch from modern jokes. Obviously grandpa was their founder. Only his followers are no match for him judging by the effect produced. The traffic cop turns his back to the Citroen. The sleek man behind the wheel the diplomat regards this as a signal to stop and brakes sharply. Naturally, the grandfather in the Cossack catches up with him. And the blow is generally notIt was strong... But the sound of the blow was followed by pops like New Year's firecrackers... The traffic cop crouches and turns around. Citroen is no more. That is, he is kind of, but it doesn’t look like a car. There is a body without doors and an engine, for pressed by the steering wheel of an airbag, a stunned Frenchman covered in foam with toe to head... The airbag went off first... They shot back with squibs doors (so as not to jam)... The engine was shot onto the asphalt (so did not fly into the cabin during a frontal impact)... And finally the interior was filled with foam (so that God forbid there is no fire)... The ambulance arrived and took away the not wet Frenchman (with such protection, why should he will be) and not his grandfather (he went through the whole war). They took the traffic cop away to extract a whistle swallowed in fright. And you are all Mercedes and Mercedes. -+- Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 + Origin: Federal Treasury Department (2:5004/1@fidonet) FWD ═══════════════════════════ SAYO:NARA, DO:ZO O-GENKI-DE, Evgeny Poddubny. @ZXNet 500:4232/1.777 | Fidonet 2:5045/78.777
