Tomsk Fireman Hovers Above Ground on 'Flying Carpet' (Video)


A fireman in Tomsk has found an innovative way of having fun at work — using power generated by several hosepipes to hover above the ground on a magic "flying carpet."

In a video posted to YouTube, the daring fireman is shown standing on a feeble-looking contraption, which is wired up to six hosepipes, whose nozzles all face toward the ground.

When the taps are turned on, the force is enough to power the "carpet" upwards where the man hovers for several seconds before returning to earth unharmed.

… we have a small favor to ask.
