OT: Eh, it was just a small reactor. No biggie

Hotel Putingrad - your opinion is needed here...
August 15th, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Yeah, good idea, Fredo.

Is that a Russian accent, or German?
August 15th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
I think it’s a Malkovichian accent, used only once ever by anyone in the movie Rounders.

Imperial Officer: What's going on down there? Come in!
Han Solo: Uh, everything is under control. Situation normal.
Intercom: What happened?
Han Solo: [flustered] Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
Intercom: We're sending a squad up.
Han Solo: Uh, uh, negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak... very dangerous.
Intercom: Who is this?? What's your operating number?
Han Solo: Uh... [shoots the intercom] Boring conversation anyway. Luke, we're gonna have company!

Awesome. My 9-year old son watched Star Wars for the first time recently. This was his favorite scene. Cracks him up every time he thinks about it.

3.6 Roentgen, not great, not terrible.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
Piss. Logged in just to get second place.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
Is this like Chernobyl where the rad meter only goes up to 3.6 Roentgen?
August 15th, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
Just the equivalent to a couple of chest x-rays...
Meh, or 15,000, your choice.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:24 PM ^
I call bullshit. It was probably WAY higher than that, but they'll never admit it. If you remember Chernobyl, 3.6 was the max range the standard meter could read. It's the same number they reported then...
August 15th, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
Dude... he's just quoting the show.
August 15th, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
Ohh, yeah...
I feel shame, now...
August 15th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
keep your chin up...all good
August 15th, 2019 at 10:59 PM ^
Haha I wanna know how you weren’t downvoted to oblivion for this.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
They also had a weapons warehouse explosion last week. Russia is not a very nice place to live.
August 15th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Which is the explosion in the OP, I think.
August 16th, 2019 at 5:09 AM ^
I was thinking it was another explosion. The other explosion has a mushroom effect.
August 15th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
What a great show.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:05 PM ^
I neglected to add that I knew of this a few days ago and waited to see how Russia would respond. Their story seemed to evolve a bit but now they are stating it was one of their nuclear powered missiles that exploded. The Commies realized they couldn't lie their way through this disaster.
August 15th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
This combined with their sub disaster last month tells me that something is up. They're up to some heavy military/nuclear testing and I don't buy their explanations.

How did that only kill 5 people?
August 15th, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
It didn't. But those were the only 5 the Russians cared about.
August 15th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Five people that Russia cared to tell you about. Just like Chernobyl supposedly only killed 31 Soviets. The actual total killed through radiation poisoning, premature births, birth defects, and cancer is exponentially higher.
Russia has shown it will more than happily cover up its own disastrous mistakes to try and maintain its reputation as a competent world superpower.
August 15th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
"Officially"
August 15th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
They were the 5 not instantly vaporized...the rest never existed
August 15th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Whew, at least it didn't go nucular ;)
August 15th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
Classic Russia
August 15th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
It's one of those things where you just know someone was looking on from a distance like, "Well, that's not right...."
August 15th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
Dat shockwave.

So, that’s what a tactical nuke warhead explosion looks like....

And to think, these are the people we let decide our elections!
August 16th, 2019 at 12:32 AM ^
The Russians run Google?
August 15th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Probably so much radiation leaking out of that thing it's gonna kill us all. Meanwhile Russian officials are looking at each other saying "3.6 Roentgen, not great, not terrible."

When does the HBO show premiere?
