A massive 100ft-wide ‘Gate to Hell’ sinkhole is reportedly opened up near a ski resort in Russia at a mine reportedly owned by a sanctioned firm traced to Roman Abramovich.
The incident took place near close to a ski resort that is famous to hold an annual bathing suit competition in springs, at the Sheregesh mine in Sibera’s Kemerovo region.
Fortunately, the massive incident has record of no casualties. This would not have been the case if the four homes that had moved earlier are still stationed in the sites.
The residents had adhered to the warnings of collapse that was bound to happen.
One house with no resident almost got swallowed up as the explosion caused it to teeter right on the edge.
The incident has caused a handful of evacuations and a momentary pause from all activities on the site and its environs.
The mine – where the incident happened is owned by steelmaking giant Evraz.
The collapse happened just after the company announced its decision to make a major investment in the mine.
Evraz is a British incorporated company where Roman Abramovich reportedly has a 28.64% stake in.
