The Power of the Russian Oktavist
The oktavist is a type of voice used in Russian liturgical and folk music. These singers sing roughly an octave below the bass range. The point of this video, however, is not to demonstrate the sheer depth of these voices, but rather their power. Any bass can croak these notes into a microphone, but what sets these voices apart is their ability to perform notes like this over a choir, to a large audience, with absolutely no amplification. I have here featured only Russian oktavists, but there are many deep, powerful basses from other countries as well.

Russian Truck Gas Explosion
A Russian truck carrying gas canisters crashed on a highway. The crash ignited 36 tanks, which exploded (in some cases propelled "like missiles") for 10 minutes. No one was killed, including the driver who quickly ran into the woods.
