Oil depots are so hot right now

Even better; it's apparently diesel.

Wow it’s still going?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

This apparently didn't work.

Did they try water? It doesn’t even necessarily have to be holy

Water on an oil fire is not the best idea. The burning oil will float on the water.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that and that's why it's still going.

Yeah you’re supposed to use foam, right? Never heard of holy foam, unfortunately

Between 550,000 and 600,000 litres of diesel per tank, depending on the specific gravity of the fuel. Two and a half million dollars per tank, not including the lost revenue from having the site offline.

Just some quick maths for you all.

And none of it, along with so many more billions of dollars worth of economic impact - let alone the catastrophic humanitarian costs - had any reasonable need to occur. But you know... that all-consuming russian inferiority complex and cruelty, ignorance and alcoholism, corruption and ineptitude.
