1. Hopefully there was a lot of damage.

2. That’s why the Russian Transformers really never got off the ground. 🤖🔥

3. Burn! 🔥

4. Strange how this is happening more often recently. Must be nothing. Also where did all the boys in this town go

5. Such things happen. Especially with shitty maintenance cycles.

   Aluminium plants need ginormous amounts of electrical current to process Aluminium. Aluminium is produced by electrolytic reduction of aluminium oxide dissolved in molten cryolite with big Graphite Electrodes diving into the liquid cryolite.

   Shitty maintenanced transformators go boom. Especially when you have constantly high load on them.

6. Welp, if any molten Aluminum was close to … let’s say a 10l bottle of vodka.

   People who know. 👌👌👌
