Bro how much oil is even in there. How long should it be taking for the whole thing to go up if it's just burning???
In 2005, an oil depot in the UK caught fire, over 20 massive tanks. It took 2 days to put out.
Last year in Guinea, a fire at a storage site took 9 days to put out.
I'll let the reader decide whether they judge Russia roughly as capable as the UK, or as Guinea. And then add the fact that in neither of those examples was there someone setting off more explosions..
it’s an oil depot… it could burn for months
I mean, in the US there is a coal mine that has been burning since at least 1962 so not surprised that an oil depot can go for a couple of weeks
btw, Nothing But Trouble is pretty much set in Centralia….
also, the best movie ever made… and Tupac’s debut….
