I fort the nuclear plant was designed to be so strong as to be able to be hit by an airliner and still hold it's structural integrity.
Am I missing something here?”
Well Tatrare , a couple of little problems:
1) An airliner, being soft and crumbly is not a high speed penetration weapon, designed and built specifically to destroy hardened targets.
2) While the towers were, perhaps, designed to certain standards they were built by Russians. Any bets they were built by corrupt folks using insufficient amounts of very substandard materials and construction practices and “as built” couldn’t resist a hit from well thrown rock?
As for russians shutting down the plant… I would not trust them to turn off a light bulb!
They Russians “welcome” inspectors but not until September. (expect delays). What are they going to inspect? A glowing, smoking hole?
Some Technicolour Dreaming:
Time for the Secretary General of the UN to “Man Up” and show up in person with an inspection team and media in tow and start knocking on the door. I wonder how Putrid would try to spin that?
