Motorists using a bridge in the southern Russian city of Volgograd were given the ride of a lifetime by a powerful gust of wind. The new river crossing started shaking violently and a massive downpour at the same time made conditions worse. Drivers say their cars were literally thrown into the air, many thinking it was an unexpected earthquake. The shaking was so severe it caused vehicles to career into the opposite lane creating chaos. Local authorities claim the shaking of the bridge was possibly caused by an earthquake. Seismologists, however, say this is highly unlikely. Meanwhile, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an investigation into the bridge's safety and construction history.
The bridge across Volga river is 1260 meters long and 32 meters wide. It was opened less than a year ago in October 2009.

Wow, it's amazing how flexible materials can be. Reminds me of Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the US, quite a famous video which shows just how bad it can be... (This also happened within a year)
