    My Russian is a little rusty so I can't translate verbatim, but it's something like "Stop! Stop! Stop! You dumba**!"

    If he had been running about 60 mph, he would have made it.

    No worries, there is a white volvo and a brand new track suit waiting for him here.

    (Seriously though I hope he is ok too. Looks like he tried to bail at the last second)

    That's what I was thinking. Why stop in the middle like that? You already effed up, might as well hammer down. You might get lucky and outrun the collapse.

    He would have made it across, then the next driver would have been blamed when it collapsed. It's important to think ahead, anticipate, and CYA. He should have hammer down and disappeared into the sunset!
