[fried eggs]

Don't worry. Nothing graphic is in the video.

Five shift workers engaged in repair of a bridge in a remote part of the island, when they saw a baby bear. One of the workers happily shot video of the cub.

Bear in the meantime trying to get rid of the dog that guarded the wagon builders. After that, next to him had a second baby. Men do not realize that next to them is the mother bear, and when they saw a huge hill which appeared on the animal did not take any security measures.

As a result, three builders and dog were literally torn to pieces, and two other men were hospitalized in serious condition. Video breaks in time to throw bears little wagon workers. Author videos posted on the web, says that the incident occurred in June this year, but details of the incident became available only recently.

1. Any link to the news story you quoted?

n/t

2. That is absolutely terrifying.

3. Fight or flight

Apparently, the victims did neither.

4. Doubtful.

5. 3 killed on some island would generate a news story or official record.

One is always advised to never approach a bear cub, but to move away. This "story" seems peculiar, and should have a record. Incidentally, bush pilots, guides and others working in bear country are usually required to arm themselves with a powerful handgun or shotguns, for their benefit as well as that of their clients.

9. So what do you think happened after the bear charged?

A director stepped out the woodwork, yelled, "Cut!" And the bear went back to his/her dressing room? Or perhaps the bear was CGI? Or, the guy filming it grabbed his gun and shot the bear in time?

11. From what I can tell, a similar incident caused 1 death

not the 3 reported in the OP. But that was afterbouncing thru a google search, since no links were provided in that OP. Evidently, no firearms were available, which may have contributed to the injuries. The director scenario sounds a little Hollywoodish, even for Russia.

You may recall a cell phone video where a bus passenger demanded a black woman move to the back of the bus, and an uproar ensued. It looked pretty real to several DUers. No links were provided, and it turned out to be some actor/trolls looking for some celebrity on the innertubes. Folks can be mislead without verifiable links or corroboration.

12. This could be better if you added a shirtless Putin

to the story

13. I smell BS

That would attract national attention. Don't believe everything you see on YouTube. If there's no link to a major news organization, it's a hoax.

6. Wow.

Pretty wild stuff.

Some bears scare off easier than others. Black bears come to mind.

If I were in brown/grizzly bear country, I wouldn't go into the woods without a gun. Definitely wouldn't bring a dog. They tend to bark and incite the bears.

These guys seemed to have been in the area for a while. I wonder why they didn't take precaution/have a better plan than "Stand here and film it".

7. wild video but the description is inaccurate, found elsewhere with other description

Three curious bears entered the miners' encampement in Russia. Bear cub started playing with miners' dog, then mamma bear came. Fate of the operator is unknown, his flash memory ran out when video ended.

8. In Russia. Might explain why the men were not armed as is often required

in bear country in N. American states. The "one-killed" story was the only one I found.

10. Interesting. Thanks!
