Whatever is causing these, it works well as propaganda and psy-ops.

As an aside, Russian fire statistics officially recorded nearly 180,000 fires in 2010, killing 13,000 people.

Apparently not big enough - there must still have been inflammable stuff left!

Not sure how western Journalists are quick on the scene whether by being invited by Ukrainian special forces or relying on reliable Russian media sources.

Western journalists are rarely on the scene anywhere these days, it's mainly regurgitating stuff from social media or making stories up backed up by "unnamed sources".

I’m seeing more of this on the boards generally at the moment. I guess at the mods behest, the ignore function is finally getting more popular.

Must have quickly taken me off ignore to let me know I was on ignore. It’s the urban way.

You don't have to take someone off ignore to be able to see (and respond to) their posts...

Clicking ‘show posts’ is taking them off ignore briefly, no?

Optionally not ignoring whilst ignoring.

Have to say the ignore function is pretty good here, the way it carries the ignoring on when someone posts a quote of the ignoree..something that other sites dont seem to do and makes it not worth using on those sites

This morning:

An explosion and fire erupts near the runway located at one of Russia's largest aircraft production plants. The Voronezh Aircraft Plant fulfils orders from the Russian Ministry of Defence, including the maintenance of the so-called Doomsday Plane, a flying command post of the Russian president.








Shit happens.

Not sure this one was accidental, and also not in Russia.
