MOSCOW : water pipes ruptured at Russia's largest hydroelectric plant early Monday causing flooding that killed at least eight people and left scores missing, officials said.
The accident caused major power distruption in Siberia. Officials said 8 plant workers were killed and 14 injured when a sudden change in water pressure caused the rupture at the Sayano-Shushenskaya plant in the Khakassia region. Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu and Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko are heading to the scene to take personal control of the crisis. - AFP
That's horrible, just like the Chermobil accident in Ukrain.
