The "guilty" have been found, but it won’t be possible to punish them.

We remind that in the evening of June 24, there was a rehearsal of the Minsk July 3 parade. Moving along Independence Avenue, one of the tanks crashed into a lamppost near the Maskouskaya metro station.

A man in the street accidentally caught on video the moment of the accident. The tank skidded, turned and hit into the lamppost. One can say that the tank driver, who was sitting in the manhole, was born with a caul:

As the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus reported to nn.by, poor weather conditions and specifically – a slippery road after a downpour became the main cause of the accident during the parade rehearsal.

"All possible measures have already been taken to prevent this from happening again: additional instructions and special trainings of responsible people were held. The investigation is still going on, appropriate decisions and measures will be taken following its results. It is possible to say only one thing for sure now: the machine was in good order," – spokesman for the Defense Ministry central ideological work department, Colonel Uladzimir Makarau commented.

It should be noted that a tank can skid on wet asphalt, as a car on ice. The tank, which met with the accident, was moving with high speed.
