MOSCOW  July 15, 2014 —A subway train derailed in Moscow during the morning rush hour on Tuesday, killing at least 21 people and injuring more than 150, officials said, in one of the deadliest incidents ever on the city's metro.
According to a preliminary investigation, three cars derailed in a tunnel in the western part of the city. Hundreds of people were trapped, and it took rescue workers several hours to take them out of the crushed cars, officials said.
Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said 12 people died in the tunnel, seven more died after being moved to train stations, and two more people died in a hospital. Emergency ministry officials said one person remains trapped in a crushed train car in the tunnel. It isn't clear how many of the wounded are in grave condition.

Well, isn't it obvious? This is Ukrainian Fascists supported by U.S. tax payers striking right at the heart of Moscow and Russia. Fascist terrorism plain and simple. Putin warned this would happen

You are SO wrong - it's a Berkut unit sent in by Yanukovych to set things up to LOOK like the US-supported Ukrainian Fascist terrorists!


All joking aside, it's a shocking waste of life, whatever the cause, and my sympathies go out to the victims and their families.

You are both wrong! Can't you see it's masterminded by the Chinese so that America and Russia will go to war and the Chinese will come in later to pick off the surviving side. But have no fear, Jack Bauer will once again get to the bottom of this, kill all the bad guys and save the world!

Yeah me too. Sometimes regretfully, my overt sarcasm appears first

As everything that happens in Russia, it is the fault of Putin himself. He ordered metro train drivers to be on time or get shot.
