Gotta love that Russian ingenuity!
I recall getting onto a (VERY SCARY) Aeroflot plane back in '87...
The "parcel shelves" were just that... WOODEN shelves rivetted to the side of the plane. I kid you not.
There was a lady some seats ahead of me with a small child, and he had a truck with him, so she put the truck on the shelf. Of course, at take-off, the truck rolled along the shelf, and became airborne and flew through the plane, very narrowly missing my shoulder (and head!). The Hostess just picked it up and put it back on the shelf, wheel side up!!!
That Chain saw reminded me of that flight... Looks like it was put together in someone's back shed.
Oh, and, I have enough Russian blood, and relatives, to afford to make these comments.. hehehe
Also, I think you guys may possibly underestimate the Russian Sense of humour. It's generally fantastic!
