I think dam failures go great with the nuclear disasters. People really underestimate the kinetic power of large bodies of water.

According to Russian language sources, the so called “repair” on turbine 2 was carried out with violations of protocol due to kickbacks (they stole the money and didn’t do the job right).<br> Criminal investigation was launched, but stalled, probably due to the same “kickback” issue.

My dad took part in building of this dam, he was a hydroengineer student at that time. He was really depressed about this whole disaster.

That dam is just asking for a secret british agent to run down the side of it.
