A fireman in Tomsk has found an innovative way of having fun at work — using power generated by several hosepipes to hover above the ground on a magic "flying carpet."
In a video posted to YouTube, the daring fireman is shown standing on a feeble-looking contraption, which is wired up to six hosepipes, whose nozzles all face toward the ground.
When the taps are turned on, the force is enough to power the "carpet" upwards where the man hovers for several seconds before returning to earth unharmed.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
