Huge Blaze & Multiple Explosions In Central Moscow As Warehouse Catches Fire. by naptu2: 5:31pm On Jun 19, 2021
Huge blaze & multiple explosions in central Moscow as warehouse catches fire (VIDEOS)
19 Jun, 2021

A large fire has broken out in central Moscow, with multiple videos from the scene showing what looks like fireworks exploding amid billowing smoke. The building on fire is reportedly used to store pyrotechnics.
Clips taken by eyewitnesses on Saturday afternoon show a large plume of gray smoke over the city center.

The building ablaze is across the river from Gorky Park, close to the Luzhniki Stadium, which hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics.

Footage shows a barrage of small explosions occurring both in the building and in the sky above it.

A firefighting helicopter has been deployed to the scene to help ground teams quench the fire. A Kamov Ka-32 was filmed scooping water from the Moskva River.

While no official information on the fire was immediately available, videos and reports suggest the building is used as a warehouse to store pyrotechnics.

I speak of one in particular- I believe 2012...

A lot of tabloids and media organisations had it that that particular fire/explosion was caused by a cache of fireworks stored in one of the warehouses within that vicinity.

There was also that Idumagbo blast back in 2003... but I did not have that in mind whilst putting together my initial post. Some will tell you that the incident of 2003 was a bomb blast.

Yeah, I know. The thread that I linked you to was about the 2012 incident, but it seems like these explosions happen way too often. As I wrote in that 2012 thread, there was also a similar fire in Central Lagos in the 1980s that was caused by fireworks and that made the Federal Government to ban the indiscriminate use of fireworks.
