Скачать или смотреть Russia - Collapsed street causes havoc

(14 May 1998) T/I: 10:26:12


A central Moscow street collapsed early on Thursday (14/5), demolishing a two-storey house. With water from heavy rainfall gushing into the massive hole in the middle of the street, wide gaps appeared in the concrete, neighbouring houses were evacuated. Sergei Shoigu, Russia's minister for emergency situations, was called to the scene to lead the rescue operation around the seven metre deep hole. Shoigu attributed the catastrophe to a burst water pipe, which released water under the street for up to 24 hours.
