    … Are fire extinguishers just not a thing in russia? Or is this group just too dumb to go get one…

      Towards the end I thought someone was using one but apparently that was just a smoke burst before the explosion.

      That sucks for those people

    Russian cops, can’t shoot fire so they kicked it. Turns out it was a bad idea to kick fire.

    They would have gotten the fire extinguisher but they hadn’t gotten to the training for beating people with improvised weapons.

      Six of them were hospitalized, one later dying of her injuries. I assume the others only suffered hearing loss.

        Crazy, was it after the final explosion in the video? I can’t see anyone taking damage to the point where I’d think they were life-threatening injuries. Or any injuries at all.

          As long as everyone kept standing around staring while a fire was burning next to some kind of munition, all bets are off as to what happened immediately after the explosion that cut off the video lmao

          Hmm rewatch from about 0:21, there’s some kind of scuffle happening off to the right. Maybe no one was allowed to leave?

      It was just a drill, but the russophobes fell for the propaganda title anyway…
