Film of "accident at link" ...

This is the horrific moment a taxi driver rammed his vehicle through a busy crowd of World Cup football fans, just yards from Moscow's Red Square.

Eight people were injured in the collision but it appears many more were hit. Two Mexicans, two Russians and one Ukrainian were hospitalised.

[BunnySlippers]

Yes it was.

Video at link is worth it.

FSB so far doing a great job of providing security to the venues, athletes, fans and visitors alike.

A Muslim street ramming could have happened anywhere. The World Cup has been incident-free so far and pray it remains that way.

Has the FSB determined a motive?

You know well as I do with ISIS’ threats against the World Cup, Islamic terrorism isn’t to be taken lightly.

“Fell asleep AND hit the accelerator”

Not in a MILLION YEARS..!!

Nope.

Not this guy.

Yeah, but we aren’t government agents.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a post on Twitter: ‘There was an unpleasant incident with a taxi. The driver lost control of the vehicle.’

LOL...riiiiiiiiiiiiight

Interfax sources claim that the driver fell asleep at the wheel and accidently pressed against the accelerator pedal.

The above from the article.

Absolute bull sh!t. You can see him intentionally steer up onto the sidewalk and accelerate.

[janetjanet998]

At least the crowd chased him down and even kicked him...

got a good laugh out of the comment there:

That’s how people should react. Unlike the advice of UK police which is run,hide,cower and wet yourself.

Sounds like a Taxi of Peace™ to me.

Am thinking this was an accident, wasn't drinking and no signs of drug use from what I've seen. Everything so far points to he did lost control of the vehicle. And his photo here shows he knows he's in a heap of trouble.....terrorists don't act this way after a hit.

[caww]

I believe it...from all the evidence I’ve see including the guy at the station..this is not how terrorist behave after a hit.

[caww]

Well it is Russia and they’re a tough people....not surprised in the least they went after the guy.

““Fell asleep AND hit the accelerator””

Interesting that ONLY Muslims seem to plow into crowds when they fall asleep at the wheel. Right.

[Billthedrill]

That’s the face of a fellow who knows he’s going to have to convince the FSB and the Moscow cops that he’s innocent. I’m predicting a difficult few days ahead...

[Gamecock]

Kyrgyzstani?

I wonder what could be behind this.</sarc>

[Getready]

The russians aint gonna tell us what they know or will do...theyll probly kill his friends and inlaws as soon as they find out who they are...but they aint gonna telegraph it to the likes of us.
