Fatal Explosion At Russian Hydroelectric Dam
stadium writes "An oil-filled transformer exploded at the Sayano-Shushenskaya power plant in Siberia, destroying three turbines and bringing down the ceiling of the turbine hall, which then violently flooded. The dam itself did not sustain any damage. It is unclear how many people were killed, but with 12 confirmed deaths and as many as 64 still missing (all presumed dead), this is a serious incident. The huge transformer had enough oil in it to produce a three-mile-long oil spill slowly moving downriver. BBC News reports with three separate videos. The dam produces a quarter of the total energy of RusHydro (whose stock thus took a steep dive at London Stock Exchange) and also feeds the world's largest aluminum smelter. The damages will take years to repair."
The terrorists did it. Siberian officials will petition the UN for disaster relief and anti-terrorist funding. The United States will offer to foot the bill if and only if Siberian officials encourage the remainder of what was the USSR to support a UN backed move by US military into Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and anyone else who does not immediately agree to tithe to Obama (or the current reigning US political figure). US taxpayers will be on the hook for a war in Afghanistan, a war in Iraq, and rebuilding efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Siberia. US military contractor executives will reap huge bonuses, taxpayers will be liable for another twenty years' worth of debt, and the banks who manage the finances will apply for another bailout in five years--putting US taxpayers, as well as Iraqi and Afghani taxpayers (through US proxy since, by then, we will own their economies), on the hook for another thirty years.
Profit.
(I love the USA and all that but, seriously, it is not even about nationalism anymore. This is pure global financial enslavement perpetuated by people who really do not give a rat's patoot about the USA)
