Ooops !
Trump’s fault (?).
That’s not the “floating Chernobyl” though right?
“the cause of the fire was that the spark fell into the hold during welding, and the remains of fuel oil caught fire there.” The fire then spread to an area of 120 square meters.”
Not really. The spark did not use the conflagration. Proximity is nit causation. Sloppy housekeeping and lack of proper (or failure to follow) protocols caused this.
This is just like saying the power lines caused the wildifires.
No, Admiral Kutzenov is the filthiest gas turbine ship I’ve ever seen. Look up some pictures of her smoke plume. You can find cleaner coal burners.
Hope everyone got off safe.
And then I hope it burns to the waterline.
The roof is on fire...
We don’t need no water, let the MF burn.
Appears to be fossil fuel fired.
But do nuclear warheads reside within?
The Russians are an interesting people, very talented but oddly fatalistic. “Oh well . . . not my fault.” I just finished a fascinating book about the Chernobyl disaster. Grotesque incompetence, heartbreaking heroism, and the usual compulsive lying by bureaucrats. “Oh well . . . not my fault.” Find a scapegoat and make a great production of meting out punishment.
Good analogy .. the history of that thing reads a lot like fustercluck.
Coal bunker fire?
“Scratch one flat top!”
But then the Russians lie almost as much as the Democrats.
The fire is out.

They are saying that a welding spark fell down into the hold where diesel fumes had accumulated.
The fire spread to the diesel tanks. The report is that all the power and communication cables in the hold are destroyed.
The ship will likely get repaired, at least to provide in-port pilot training.
Isn’t that the way it usually looks under sail?
Are they sure someone didn’t just leave it running?

I believe they meant hole or bowl
Does it burn N6 fuel oil ?
