A horrible accident was reported in Russia. A hot water pipe burst in a shopping mall in the west of the capital Moscow. Boiling water gushed out instantly, killing 4 people and injuring dozens of others.
The incident happened on the 22nd when a hot water pipe burst in a shopping mall on Kutuzov Avenue in western Moscow. Hot boiling water and steam directly filled part of the shopping mall, causing four people to be scalded to death and dozens of others injured and sent to the hospital. Most of the dead were employees of a supermarket in the shopping mall.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased, revealing that some of the injured were scalded. Rescuers rushed to the scene immediately following receiving the report and “are providing medical assistance to all the injured.”
In fact, the shopping mall involved is called Vremena Goda, and it has been in operation for 16 years. When the hot water pipe burst, the water flooded the floor and steam flooded the shopping mall instantly. Not only did the disaster prevention alarm not sound, even the shopping mall did not have an emergency broadcast. According to the staff of the shopping mall, people did not start to evacuate in a hurry until 30 minutes following the incident.
