Two explosions some distance apart sounds like a hell of a coincidence. There is no conirmation as to whether it's a result of hostile action or garden-variety Russian sloppiness.
Reports are that the oil pipeline to Europe runs through that place. If that's the case, expect the oil futures market to go batshit today.

The train on it side... That was likely track maintenance,
looks like a washout. It appears to he along a hillside
and the down side is a creek. Could have been helped
with very little effort, take your opportunities.
Best guess it was time charged but work not done
or done poorly enough to qualify as not done.
So they took two hits either by carelessness or by
intent. They are however suffering injury to their
war making efforts and that is on the russians. We
may some day years from now know the whole story.
Eck!
It's gonna' take a mighty big tow truck to put that loco back on the tracks.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's still pretty random. "Pattern" might be wishful thinking.
If it were come to it, I wonder if ...
Hear a lot of talk
The train pic reminds me of a sentence in the Ranger Handbook:
ReplyDelete"To derail train, at least a 20 foot section of track must be removed."
