Working on failures
It's time for our traditional column - Failures of the Week.
This time, most of the sinkholes weren't caused by utility accidents or natural disasters. They were created by road workers themselves, and in record time.
The M4 federal highway, along which Wagner PMC convoys moved toward Moscow, was the clear leader in the rankings. The number of trenches dug and bridges damaged remains to be seen.
But it's broken road in the Bryansk village Polpino Now it can be compared to the M4 federal highway. The same potholes that armored vehicles can barely navigate.
Lipetsk utility workers already embarked on to patch up the road near the city Chaplygin, which they themselves destroyed with the help of excavators a few hours ago.
Roads in the center Rostov turned into a washboard under the tank tracks.
One of this week's failures occurred right in front of the government. Primorye Territory - storm drain swallowed up concrete slab together with a water intake grate.
And in Samara underground gone An entire section of the street where workers simply wanted to replace pipes. As a result, two trolleybus routes had to be rerouted; due to the utility cataclysm, they will not be able to travel beyond Revolution Square in the near future. Symbolic, isn't it?
Well, since everyone's been talking so much about the March for Justice today, there's room for justice even in the saga of failures. This week, the prosecutor's office presented The former director of a Volgograd utility company was charged with causing worn-out collector pipes to burst and flood the city center last October. Volgograd shit. What's in store for him is still unknown.
Meanwhile, under Voronezh the oil depot continues to burn, which exploded after the appearance of the Russian combat helicopter.
It seems unrelated to the roadway failures. Yet, people still have the feeling that this, too, is a failure.
