Huge Gas Explosion Illuminates Moscow's Night Skies.
This was recorded earlier this morning 10.05.2009 in southwest Moscow. A gas pipeline explosion triggered a massive fire sending flames up to 200 meters into the air and setting two adjacent buildings ablaze.
Five people were injured in the fire which broke out at around 00:30 Moscow time. No fatalities have yet been reported.
Apparently all the valves of the ruptured pipeline had been shut d
More..own, and the gas was now burning out under lower pressure. The fire has been brought under control. Less..

Presumably the crowds reacted similarly at Chernobyl.

well, the pipelines in the ukraine were shut down for a while because of a pissing contest between them and russia, then an ammo dump in the ukraine blew up, and there was a leak in one of the ukrainian gas lines but this is pretty bad... just what you saw on camera was about 300,000 cubic meters of natural gas pissed away. really bad waste.
i feel really bad for the poor asshole who had to turn the valve off.
