Man falls from moving train in Siberia at -40C and lives

IIRC the eastern ones are bigger than average for wolves. Bigger the the European anyway which tends to be smaller. Not as large as the big Canadian feckers though. They stand a metre at the shoulder and take down musk ox and bison.

make sure you have a few irish wolfhounds when you go to Siberia so yeah? :pac:

Lol, look at her there with the axe.
Rock hard granny!

Whatever about the wolves and the bears,but has anybody else considered that a man ran nearly naked for probably at least 45 minutes in -40 deg.

That will surely have the scientists scratching their heads about the human body's ability.

Id say he was damn close to a heart attack.

For some reason I keep thinking of "Me, Myself and Irene" and the two of them running after the train. I'd have been feckin praying the station was about 1km away, any more and a coughing fit would have done me in, not the cold.

For those of you in America that's -40F

That they are. I remember when the Chernobyl reactor blew up and they needed volunteers to dig out the area around the reactor to make it safe and the queues to sign up went around the block and this was essentially a death sentence and a horrible death with it.

A group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners are volunteering to tackle the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima power station.

The Skilled Veterans Corps, as they call themselves, is made up of retired engineers and other professionals, all over the age of 60.

They say they should be facing the dangers of radiation, not the young

But yeah sometimes you have to wonder if Russians are from a different planet.

One of the few breeds of wolfhounds bred to take on a wolf singlehanded. Most other wolfhound breeds were designed to attack a single wolf as a pack of hounds. At one point under Cromwells orders IIRC the export of Irish wolfhounds was banned and funding was put into breeding because of the serious problem of wolf attacks in Ireland. Irish wolves seemed to be particularly aggressive towards people compared to the European norm and from the earliest annals wolf attacks usually resulting in death were regularly noted. Except for various sainted monks who would be left alone apparently. Though "sainted Irish monks" of them days weren't Father Wishy Washy. Hard bastards and practical with it. Columbanus left his Austrian German monk guide behind(who seemed for a while to have had enough of this mad Mick) and crossed the alps in winter in his 70's, oh and then founded and helped built a church with his bare hands on the other side in Italy Colmcille killed a hundred men in battle. As you do when you're a monk. The sight of a monks habit was probably enough to give wild Fido a dose of the squits.

Yep, Hard. Animal kingdom, word to the wise, leave Russian grannies the fuq alone. I recall seeing a doc on Italian feral dogs and in the middle of it there was this Italian granny who used to open her farmhouse to the "stray dogs" of the area. They stuck a hidden camera in her kitchen and what comes in only four or five wolves, cubs and all. Now that's a pensioner living on their own I'd like to see a bunch of scumbags try to rob on "stray dog Tuesday".

Yes it's actually amazing he could do it. Then again when the bloods up and most importantly the survival instinct really kicks in it's truly amazing what the human body can do through sheer force of bloodyminded fcuk you and the horse you rode in on human will. The slightly built mother who lifts car off her baby effect, or the Russian granny who takes out wolves for sport and in the video she can barely swing the heavy axe.

I miss those doors on Irish trains, you had to open them yourself by sliding the window down and putting your hand out to catch the handle on the outside. I think the IE workers were supposed to open all the doors first. anyway for local stations it was ok, timing it just right so that you jump out exactly as the train stops, or if your feeling a little 007 jumping out while its still in motion.

some people died tho over the years, I remember a young guy just got home from a long backpacking holiday, poor guy fell out from the moving train on his way home to see the family

edit* just remembered how nice it was to be able to actually open a window and get some fresh air

I was late for an old train years ago and as it was exiting the station I pulled the window down, jumped on and climbed through it. Those windows were great. Was a difficult enough move.

They had a good locking system when even half closed the lock engaged.

Looking through them windows on a diesel train could mean your face would be black a few miles later !
