Arrr mateys! A land vessel be takin' a dive off a structure in St. Petersburg, Russia, landin' in the Moika River and sendin' seven souls to Davy Jones' locker, as per the officials. Avast, what a way to make a splash!
In the language of a 17th century pirate, let me spin ye a tale of tragedy and woe in the land of Russia's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. A bus, full of hapless souls, veered off a bridge and plunged into the depths of the Moika River, claiming the lives of seven poor souls.The Investigative Committee, Russia's top criminal investigations body, confirmed the grim death toll, while reports of six others in critical condition sent shivers down me timbers. The bus, with 15 souls aboard, broke through a barrier in a reckless manner, leaving six to fend for themselves in the murky waters.A surveillance video captured the chaotic scene as the bus collided with another vehicle before meeting its watery demise. The owner of the ill-fated vessel had a history of violations, while the bus driver was detained for his role in the tragedy.The poor soul's wife claimed he was overworked and underrested, a tale as old as the seas. Now, authorities have launched a criminal investigation into the reckless voyage, seeking justice for the lost souls and ensuring safer travels for future voyages.
