Unfortunate mishap left man's car splashed with cement

A Russian man's luxury car was unfortunately buried under tons of concrete. Artur Shachnev, the CEO of a music production company, parked his Bentley too close to buildings under construction in central Moscow. He was then called back by his security staff, who said that concrete had been dumped on his car.



“It happened at 7 pm on September 2. My security man called me and said that cement was splashed on my car and asked me to come down. So I did, to take a look at this unique event (it’s not often that security reports such odd moments), and I found this,” Shachnev said. The accident was blamed on workers’ negligence.



They were lifting a huge bucket with cement when it accidently hit the wall and opened, sending the liquid down on cars parked in the street below, from a height of 15 metres. “According to the workers, the seven-ton container had no more than one ton of concrete. Some of them say - 300 litres. But experts who inspected the scene estimated it was way more than that,” Shachnev said. By the time Shachnev arrived, his Bentley was covered in concrete.

“The liquid mixture coated the entire car and made it a bullet-proof capsule,” he said. The Bentley’s body was very seriously damaged by small crushed stones in the liquid. The concrete leaked into the wheel system, so the car can’t run now. “But you can start the engine, and music plays and lights can be turned on,” Shachnev said. The company have promised to compensate him for all losses. But the car can’t be repaired or cleaned.
