On April 5th, the Orsk dam in Southwest Russia collapsed resulting in massive flooding all across the region. The authorities' response was little more than a call to the citizens to evacuate. There is also an eyebrow raising theory of what caused the Orsk dam to fail that was posited by the dam's head of construction. Find out more from our explainer video.

Threatening to arrest people for talking about a disaster killing people and destroying their property is an old Soviet tradition.
independant free people are dangerous. Poor and dependant are needed.
At least they seem to be listening to their demands now
Karma come to Putin Russīa 🇷🇺. Repent!!!
The Chinese do the same!!
This is what happens when a nation's resources go to weapons instead of infrastructure and emergency response capability.
Nah~ they went to official's pockets far more than weapons.
Weapons? Not even. Goes to oligarch yachts.
@@deadmanslastwish Oligarchs don't get wealthy legally, corruption is the norm, even the west is going the same way, they are called Corporations.
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 Russian authorities take such good care of the people.....NOT!
This is what happens when you have a dictator ruling for over 20 years
Remember the bombing of the Dnipro dam in Ukraine?f Now it's all about mice destroying Russian dams. What a rotten state!
Karma is a wet bitch!
Sad but not surprising to see such blatant disregard for the lives of their citizens.
Well... didn't Russians just voted for Putin again? It's Russian citizens who make up Russia and the invasion force. No sympathy here whatsoever.
Keiner aus Europa eilt zu Hilfe warum wohl
Must have alot of room in jails
@@irmtraudhanifel8330 their army are next door murdering the neighbours and stealing their land.!!! That's why.
@@irmtraudhanifel8330 pretty obvious. 2 years of war on peaceful neighbours
Oh dear oh dear the economy in Russia is now so bad even the river banks are collapsing 😂
All under control nil to worried about
Operation goes well 😂
😅😅
It's another Chernobyl, but with water. Let's all pretend it didn't happen.
I remember when Chernobyl happened. I was a kid. I remember wondered if everyone there would die. Then(because I was maybe 9ish), I pictured some black cloud drifting across the ocean and raining poison on us on this continent😮 It scared the crap out of me. Nuclear stuff still scares the crap out of me!!
@@IcerinAlaska49 Yea, our physics teacher hung a Geiger counter out of the window it read 200% background level when the BBC news was claiming 10-15% .. That is why I've recently bought a £30 Geiger counter! It was funny a naughty student tried to nick the teachers Geiger counter but it runs at 400 Volts so he let it go pretty quickly with a yelp! .. Strange times, seems they are coming back.
This is a FLODDERBYL or WATERBYL ..... Russia , land of corruption , incompetence and impunity ....
I feel so sorry for the Russian pets and animals
1:45 “My house is getting flooded - I have a video of it”
Russian authorities: “you’ll get jail if somebody hears about this”.
KARMA
Shame on Russia how you treat your own citizens
my thoughts go out to all concerned 🙏
F I'm glad I don't live in Russia!!!
in russia all life is worthless
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
And this is the country that Tucker wants the US to emulate? Screw that.
He is a D Head
WTF?!? When are the Russian people going to have enough of this crap????
They have already. It's just too dangerous to DO anything. 🤐
Never. they will remain slaves forevver.
Is there no heroine with nothing to lose
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind
Justice for flooding Kherson I’d say.
Sounds like the government is doing nothing at all.
Yes it does, he launched an investigation to find who done this
government is behaving like its people. come on. Its not separate entity. Its a bond. Both sides participate. I dont want to emphasize how hard is it to break social bonds and norms in any society where we dont feel healthy in and mind own way.
Its plain to see why Ukraine wants no part in Russias future plans
When authoritarian regimes make mistakes it's always the people who end up in court.
When the government fails, the government falls.
Tucker Carlson will ignore this and the reasons for the flood. He toured to the shiny metropoles, Putin takes care about.
Did we miss Tucker 'Putin's Bitch' Carlson's report on the suffering caused by the floods? Surely he could compare this to the USA as he hates America.
They must have some bloody giant mice.😂
These are not ordinary mice, these were trained in Ukraine and have microchips implanted in their brains, thus controlled by Zelensky.
Brave people free speech.
Revolt
now their saying it was Ukrainian attack mice, lol, the whole world is laughing at russia
Cute!
IN HIS TRILLION DOLLAR BUNKER.
Keep fighting wars
.., they should be aware of Azov trained rodents on the first place.
With great power comes great responsibility
Special aquatic operation
Rise up ppl 🇺🇲💪
Residents are advised by officials to purchase boats with their own money....
never mind that if there are any boats they ar far, far away, in accessible to the flood victims
No available yahts
Have no fear the submerged ships from the Black Sea are on the way!
Conform planurilor stabilite
they sure have a lot of boats around in the city
It's unfortunate that many Russians who heartily approve of Putin's disregard for human life in Ukraine didn't make the connection that he doesn't care about Russian lives either. I'm not saying all Russians are like that. Many have taken great risks and sacrifices to preserve human compassion in Russia.
But if you watch the 1420 interviews, you know that a great many ruzzians don't care a fig for innocent Ukrainian life. The "glory of the motherland" is far more important to them.
1917 and 1991 is returning 😂😂😂 rut-zia-nut-Z does not know hiw it all started
I ❤ karma.
No speech from the leader yet where is he ?????
You guys do great work. The following suggestion is meant as informational only, hardly a criticism. You seem to be using the word “dam” when the better colloquial word in American English might be levee, dyke, dike (?), or embankment. The shores of the Mississippi River are lined with hundreds (several thousand ?) miles of levees to control flooding, particularly spring flooding, for example. Embankment might be used for less extended control systems, but there is no hard and fast rule. Say “dyke” and I think of the little Dutch boy, but the word communicates just fine.. there may be other synonyms, but “dam” usually would not be have the same meaning of “embankment” along river/stream bank meaning.
A “dam” almost always means a structure ACROSS a river or stream current (not parallel) creating reservoir or impoundment. Flood control is often a major reason to build a dam, along with electric generation and irrigation.
Obviously if a “dam” erodes through and breaks, releasing an over-full reservoir, the results could be catastrophic. And I am sure this must be happening right now also. But the clips I have seem have been breeches in levees or embankments. Therefore it has taken me a few seconds full stop to process what I am seeing along with the words I am hearing.
By the way, in US history, both types of breeches have been catastrophic, but in some ways, the breeches in dykes and levees have been more catastrophic, some times flooding thousands of square miles or, in New Orleans killing over a thousand persons. In the latter case, the incompetent management of Bush II of FEMA and rescue operation played a great role in subsequent loss of political office.
Yes, but I understand that there was a dam that collapsed initially and the ensuing chaotic rush of water ruptured the embankments downstream. The dam and the embankments appear to be made only out of compressed earth: whoops . . .
Dike, not "dyke." "Breaches," not "breeches." And as for "incompetence," the government of the city of New Orleans had a LOT more to do with the death toll from Hurricane Katrina than anything FEMA or Pres. Bush did. FEMA has only limited powers. It was not responsible for blocking exits from the city, as New Orleans did. Nor was it responsible for the upkeep of the levees that could have kept New Orleans dry if they had been maintained just a bit better.
@andyhurrell No. Speaking of Katrina, there was no dam collapse that contributed/caused the levee collapse. You are basically correct about the construction of the levee, but there was a little more reinforcement. Lack of maintenance and funding over years set up the breeches after Katrina blew through. Water was also funneling through a ship channel that contributed to the undermining. All of this was predicted at a major professional conference focusing on the lower Mississippi flood prevention systems held about 6 months before Katrina, amply reported in Scientific American among others. Warnings years earlier that maintenance desperately needed. Army Corps of Engineers or any local authorities did nothing, nor did FEMA prepare any emergency response measures in advance. Federal funding for maintenance had long been cut/ and deferred. Nor were independent power supplies for huge drainage pumps operated as a matter of course installed, and power failed. Evacuation plans were effectively non existent, and new political appointees at FEMA were worthless and frozen in improvising and implementing a coordinated relief response. After days of leaderless chaos an Army general was put in charge. All of this, is where the comparison with Russia is relevant. There are differences and similarities, especially with the Bush administration cutting services while cutting taxes, mainly for the rich, while beginning and fighting an unnecessary war, paid for by budget deficits.
@@halporter9 So, what you're saying is that incompetent and negligent government is a worldwide phenomenon . . .
well done putin ;;
for Kherson! You bastards!!!!
Hope it goes to 75 meters , so they will take the Military from UKR to go help.
No much left anymore ,
Zelensky been kill all
everything is fine...just fine...
According to plan
Leaders are safe nothing effect them
HOW SAD AUTHORITIES DONT GIVE A SHIT ANOUT ITS PEOPLE. TIME TO STAND UP AND KEEP STANDING
Now Ruzzia has Venezia. They only need a few bridges.
Keep on raining! The world is a wonderful place!
Miserable conditions.
Blaming pootin
At least now they know how the Ukrainians feel.
I'm surprised they didn't even try to pin this one on Ukraine.
Never mind.
Probably by denying it even happened or downplaying it to not worth mentioning
3:18 the problem is, some people who used their own money to rescue their houses are being threatened with 2 years in jail. The messages being sent out are contradictory, dangerous and life threatening.
I'm sure the authorities feel really bad about this.
Mice or other rodents COULD begin the breach of a dam if it is poorly built. This is a well established fact.
Not only the building of a dam is important. You also have to maintain it very seriously. And if rodents are damaging it, you have to signal it on time. Not wait till the dam collapses. But I think not only the rodents are guilty……
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦💪🏻💪🏻From The Netherlands.🇱🇺❤️
Ground hogs are notorious for burrowing into earthen dams and just about anywhere you do not want them to dig. It's possible, but I highly doubt it, As the corruption in Russia is off the charts.
Das war der Wasten weist du das noch nicht
I guess bad things happen everywhere.
Be careful “throwing rocks” and “calling kettles black” as the old sayings say. Oh yeah, and “don’t point finger at others”
the rest of world laughs. hahah. Serves you right.
Karma!
Karma
Seems like they’re handling it like everything else…💩👎🏼
Mice > dam
88%, or so they said (or lied). 😂😅😂
So it turned out to be a special mouse operation...
It must be Nazi mice 😂
does the russians know what is the situation in Ukraine when their dam was blown away by the russians .
"DO the russians know about the situation in Ukraine...."
Sláva Rusku❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, don't want be involved in political issues,,,,
this is all so confusin. How many dam breaks? All dis mish mash
Im surprised pukin hasnt blamed 617 squadron even though they disbanded😮
God better watch out! Beware of windows!
Karma is a bitch
Putin: The group of mice that was responsible for the dam destruction was recruited by Ukraine. The mice were caught fleeing to border near Kharkiv region and admitted to the crime against the peaceful nation of russia.😊
Voilà pour toi mon Poutine, le résultat de 20 ans d’incompétence total.😊
En vérité, il y a maintenant 24 ans d’incompétence Putleriste.
This reminds me of Germany's floods a few years back due to severe weather. The REAL nightmare is during cleaning-up. Hopefully these Russians have enough of volunteers.
Dam mice smoked too much crack👻
So they can gather in protests after all and challenge their governent when it suits them..
When Karma is a flood 😂
Those people no wanted better life when they voted for the same leader who feel no pity for those troops die in Ukraine
Thats the system you would get americans by lying and denying.
Hans Brinker took his finger out. Oops.
The sea is huge and Russia is nothing to compare with the big ocean
Flood of money going on SMO 🤔
Bloody strong Mice🤣🤣🤣
Switch ON Nuclear Button

I thought it was the Ukrainians?
The mice must have been trained in Ukraine.
Mice chewed a hole in the dam. 😂🤣🤣😭
