From what I have read, a truck filled with explosives blew up, killing three people in a car nearby, and then the flames took over a train also crossing the bridge. That train was full of fuel. It is only thanks to the amazing speed at which the bridge crews reacted that the damage was limited to only 9 wagons and, therefore, to a much shorter segment of the rail tracks.
Looking at the video, one would imagine that the bridge is in ruins. In fact, traffic was reestablished on both rail tracks and the road in less than 24 hours (with the exception of heavy trucks). In other words, this is yet another case of “it is humiliating, but not dangerous” (обидно но не опасно).
But that is an increasingly mistaken notion: this time is also VERY dangerous.
Simply put, there are always more targets than cops/guards.
Furthermore, terrorists can always choose the time and location of their attacks.
So far, the Ukronazi efforts in Russia yielded very little tangible benefits: the murder of Dugina made her into a martyr, the attack on NS1/NS2 really only hurt Germany and the EU, while the explosion on Crimean Bridge has proven that this is a very hard target which will be extremely hard to destroy short of using a tactical nuke.
Here we all need to remember terrorist attacks on the school in Beslan, the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow, the Budennovsk hospital, the Domodedovo International Airport or the Saint Petersburg subway. All of them were the result of actions by so-called “terrorist groups” all of which were (and still are) run by western special services.
There are basically only two ways to defeat such state-sponsored terrorist attacks:
Infiltrate the so-called terrorist groups and infiltrate the western “parent agencies” which run them. Convince the general public to go into a “high vigilance” mode.
Basically, the entire Russian society needs to go on a “mental war footing” and remain calm and very vigilant at the same time: not only is Russia under attack by Banderite Nazis, but also by the folks who did 9/11, MH17 (and many other!) and these are the folks who unleashed an entire terrorist campaign against Iran which included bombing, assassinations, sabotage, etc.
Then there is the problem of escalation. The attack on the Crimean Bridge was a clear act of war.
Of course, since no US passports were found conveniently floating in the water, Russia’s response should not be an overt military retaliatory attack. However, I do expect that something will happen soon, most likely in the Ukraine, but probably involving western personnel/assets/facilities.
In conclusion, I expect things to get even worse right up and until the elections in the USA. Not that I have much of a hope that sanity would prevail should the GOP win, but “a tiny little” is better than “none at all”.
In the meantime, it is simply shocking for me to observe the collective orgasm felt by the leaders of the West each time some horror befalls Russia. Truth be told, the fact that they hate us does not surprise me. What surprises me much more is how unapologetically hate-filled and “in your face” these cries of joy are. And I wonder
Do they see that hateful glee in their own eyes when they look in the mirror? When they see a photo of Daria Dugina, do they feel like the “yeah! scored one against Putin!”? When the kangaroo court in the Netherlands declares that it was Russia (or the LDNR) blew up MH17, will they feel that justice has been served and the guilty punished?
I am afraid that asking what they see or do not see is the wrong question which, by the way, Putin answered in his recent speech when he said “these European elites understand everything – they do, but they prefer to serve the interests of others“.
It’s not that they don’t see, instead they don’t care. At all. They never have.
I will end with a question: is the above only true of the European ruling classes or is that true for most people who live in the EU?
What will the well-intentioned and noble Europeans do when the next bloodbath happens in Russia (because sooner or later it will, such is the nature of the terrorist threat)? Will they rejoice and wave their Ukie flags a little stronger or will they just not give a damn?
The answer is obvious, especially to Russians.
Piss off moron. Adults are talking.
Regardless of who did it(Ukes snd CIA), the Russians are obviously going to retaliate in kind. I f you read Tass the last week or so, the rhetoric has shifted to another gear. I honestly believe we’re past the point of no return.
ST. PETERSBURG, October 9. /TASS/. Russian authorities have no doubt that the explosion on the Crimean bridge was a terrorist attack aimed at destroying Russia’s critical civilian infrastructure, President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday. He added that Ukrainian special services were behind the attack.
“This is just as you’ve said, there is no doubt [about it]. This is a terrorist act aimed at destroying the critical civilian infrastructure of the Russian Federation. It was ordered, authored and carried out by the special services of Ukraine,” the head of state said at a meeting with the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin.
The head of the Investigative Committee confirmed this, adding that citizens of Russia and foreign countries helped the Ukrainian special services in preparation of the attack.
On Saturday morning, a truck exploded on the Crimean Bridge, collapsing two eastbound parts of its road section and subsequently setting ablaze a train of fuel tanks on a separate, adjacent rail portion of the bridge. As a result of the blast, three people were killed. A government commission chaired by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin was set up after the incident. Rail traffic has been restored on the bridge, which was also partly reopened for buses and automobiles.
Case under “terrorism” article
When opening the meeting Putin asked head of the Investigative Committee to report about the first results of investigation into the emergency.
Bastrykin said that the investigation team of forensic experts and explosives specialists arrived very quickly at the scene, inspected the scene in detail, made preliminary, well-founded conclusions.
“We opened a case under the second part of Article 205 “Terrorism”, and this is confirmed by the data at the initial stage of the investigation. They interrogated a lot of eyewitnesses, started special expert studies, which have been mainly completed - this is an explosive, genetic, forensic examination. Relevant instructions were given to conduct operational-search activities to the agencies of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia,” he said.
As Bastrykin noted, the route of the truck, which was blown up, has already been established. “These are Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia, Krasnodar Territory,” he said.
Also, persons involved in organization of the truck’s movement, have been identified of the truck, Bastrykin went on.
“With the help of FSB operatives, it was possible to identify suspects from among those who could prepare a terrorist attack and people who operate on the territory of the Russian Federation,” he said.
Bastrykin added that the Investigative Committee continues expert research “to clarify the goals and objectives of this explosion.” But he stressed that the emergency is “certainly terrorist in nature.” “This is an act of terrorism. All our data from the initial stage of the investigation today allow us to draw a clear conclusion - this is a terrorist attack that was prepared by the Ukrainian special services, and the purpose of this terrorist attack was to destroy a large civilian infrastructure facility, which is very important for the Russian Federation, especially in Crimea,” he said.
“That is who is behind Ukraine. The globohomos. I identify them for who they are.”
So, you believe some secret or not-so-secret clique of homosexuals is manipulating and controlling Ukraine? Making Ukraine do their bidding?
“… Why is the West so intent on committing suicide? Fighting bad Vlad down to the last Ukie is insane ( the Ukie population is not fully behind that) but serves to demilitarizing them so no problem for Vlad.…”

The tech revolution is facillitating the plans of the Western elite to control everything you do, think and say. The tools are there. Just say you get labeled a fugitive dissident. What you gonna do. Flee on a plane? They’ll get you. Flee in your car. They getting that covered with cameras, road sensors and EV. Wanna try to purchase some food. They getting that covered too with the push for cashless. If your current day was put into a single data base, i bet you someone behind a keyboard can determine where you went and what you ate etc. It all seems innocuous to old hippies like you right now. But it’s going to be the most pervasive totalitarian system in history at some point. A series of natural, man made and deliberately engineered events will get things moving. Covid showed that most will roll over and comply. Fear of loss of income. Your home. Your family etc.
And while inflicting 10:1 KIA ratios.
Is that true?
The term "globohomo" is short for "Global Homogenization", not "Global Homosexuality"
You can do a web search on the term and find plenty of articles on it, left, right and center.
“It all seems innocuous to old hippies like you right now.”
Too funny! Because I’m a realist, and not a fanatic, that means I’m an “old hippie?”
The Rooskies have been playing with fire lately.
What do they expect?
You are looking in the wrong places with the video at full speed.
There is a security video that looks down the spans toward the water - in all of the ones I’ve seen, within 2 seconds of the explosion, there appears the bow of a boat just dead center under the span - which span it is looking at is unclear, but would have to assume its the most damaged one.
You’ll need to rapidly click to stop action to see it.
The explosion rises from underneath, surrounding the span - with the biggest part of the fireball on top of the span moving up to the RR.
Another possibility is a missile - see comment #61 at Attack on Europe post for an explanatory a graphic posted by BeauBo.
The truck theory has been discarded on the evidence by all but the Russians and their fellow travelers.
There is no overt missile track, but there is a hole apparently which is said to indicate a missile.
All trucks actually clear the blast Zone, if you do a lot of stop action clicks rapidly - you can see that for yourself, if you are fast enough.
A truck bomb would exert downward pressure on the span, but that would be insufficient to push the spans up and break their anchoring bolts, causing them to collapse and move dramatically out of alignment.
A realist. Well here something real for an old woodstocker. A real global dictatorship is coming. Enjoy the few crumbs of modern technology while you can. Because one day that same technology will hunt you, imprison you and kill you ( if the elite think your thought crimes are too dangerous). Scoff if you will. Laugh even. While you can
In late September the Russian government gave a list of 5,937 of their troops killed.
In June the Ukrainians said that 10,000 of their soldiers had been killed. In August the number dropped to 9,000.
The Russian estimate for the number of Ukrainians killed is 61,207.
So, if you take the Russian numbers, the KIA ratio is 10:1.
Most people are pretty skeptical about all the numbers presented by either side. That's probably wise.
“The term “globohomo” is short for ‘Global Homogenization’, not ‘Global Homosexuality.’”
Ah. Interesting. One would think that they’d come up with a better term, such as “globohomog,” as that is a better descriptor.
One man’s terorism is another’s ‘hidden hand warfare’; a typeof combat that has intrigue the US military and intelligence establishments for a quarter of a century. If there an armed conflict emerging from Trump winning big in 2024 and the establishment deciding (I think the decision is already been made) to not recognizing his win, this will be a big part of how the establishment plans to win. If Trump can be quickly droned they will be well on the way to success. Perhaps.
great one.
And, what is sickening is how many here don't care or in denial about all that.
