  1. Those storage tanks in the foreground look like they could maybe use some more love?

  2. What exactly did Russia expect, leaving all these refineries completely exposed to hobby-drone attacks?

  3. When I saw the footage of day three I saw there were still unexploded tanks in that section of the refinery. It seemed too much to hope for that they’d go up but it looks like they did.

  4. On a side note, why always during the day when it’s easier to see and shoot down the drones? Why not focus on nighttime strikes?

  5. That’s going to take many months to rebuild. If they can get stuff with sanctions.

  6. I heard from locals a mouse took in a burning cigarette and caused the fire.

  7. This is really sad.

    I mean, the fact that the video is not in 8K.

  8. These tiny white things on the rails are actually trains, like banana for scale.

  9. Surely Taco Bellend can help put it out. He knows a lot about fires, he probably knows more about fires than anybody else.

  10. The amount of radiant heat coming off this inferno must be incredible. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cameraman could feel something even at the distance they were from the billowing flames. I’m a little surprised that there are tanks near the blaze which *appear* to still be intact.
