Deadliest Journeys: Congo

Heart-stopping, adrenaline filled stories and dangerous journeys.

Drivers and passengers have to find solutions to free the lorry. Digging holes, pushing the truck with a trunk or tow it, all ways are good. Sometimes the vehicle can stay stuck in the mud for several weeks. The risk is also the mechanical breakdown since the trucks are second-hand materials from Europe and are in really bad state.
