Russian army rescues kegs of beer

hell yeah!! I love russia now!! they have their priorities on track..I appluad them for their bravery!


"Russian troops have retrieved 10 tonnes of beer trapped under the Siberian ice after a week-long operation. A lorry carrying the beer was lost while crossing the frozen River Irtysh, near the city of Omsk, about 1400 miles from Moscow. The driver managed to jump out after the ice gave way, but the lorry and its cargo sank. Six divers, 10 men with electric saws and a tank pulled the beer kegs - but not the truck - to safety."

I salute you!!!!
