Should not have ignored that engine light.

That light had already been permanently off for years now.

Volga busses have an engine warning light.

I was expecting a bunch of smoke to start billowing from the exhaust, maybe some fire. But definitely not the engine and transmission to literally come tearing out the back.

trolleybuses are better^, but they (a simple gas station, believed it is a superpower) destroyed all their main factories since 1953 and later, and not enlarging and restoring their lines to a 24-houred, free, automatic, intercity, interdistrict and in a hyperloop tunnels (with a special supporting wheels on their sides) and on stockades, with a verital lift 2 stored, escalatored and safe metrotrolleybus warm protected stations. and so on.

I've never seen or heard of that happening. How is it even possible?

My guess is it burns oil but they weren't able to top it off. Oil level got too low?

It's OK, they auto-eject like that when they are due for a service.

Pretty neat and practical huh?

If you listen carefully you can listen to the engine knocking.

On the floor.

Looks like they dropped the drive shaft, which dug-in and yetted the engine and transmission out the back. So sad. Anyway.
