Hot water as in ‘super heated water’ used in building environmental control.
It was probably under extreme pressure and such a high temperature that when the pipe burst it instantly created a super heated steam explosion.
I would ask how but I’ve seen a Russian mall detonate like a fuel air bomb. Sanctions or no maintenance?
The only guy who knew how to maintain the pipes probably died invading a peaceful country.
That is completely believable.
Holy shit, they still have malls?
Edit: Wow, guess we have some mall enthusiasts in here…
Why wouldn’t they?
Most countries except for the US still have them afaik
Here in Germany they are in every city and very successful
I think the problem is that the US malls are in the middle of nowhere and you need to take your car there and spend a lot of time there.
Here they integrated as part of the inner city and flourishing and you can just walk to the old town or other things nearby
The US still has them too, they’re just not as popular as they were.
Most countries except for the US
They still exist in the USA as well. They just aren’t popular.
Guess that depends on where? Where I live there’s a mall on like every damn town, and there are two within like 10min from my house.
I meant not popular as in they don’t have as much foot traffic as they did a few decades ago. Many exist, but the number of malls that don’t feel “dead” is pretty low in my experience.
