A section of a Russian military barracks has collapsed, killing 23 soldiers, near the Siberian city of Omsk, officials say.
A further 19 servicemen were rescued. Some have been flown to Moscow for medical treatment.

Is this how they account for soldiers killed in the Ukraine?
Is that pre-cast floor panels?
Either way, I don’t see any rebar.
It happened because of Putin, and because they don’t allow gay recruits

Interesting thought isn’t it.
I don’t like to see deaths of their troops who aren’t involved in hostilities with the West.
Looking at the pic I was trying to figure out how they squeezed dozens of guys into the part that collapsed.
Do buildings just collapse?
Yes look at the world trade center
Better blame it on the Chechens. Thanks Berlin_Freeper.
Relatively innocent lives, we can at least pray
for their families who are suffering.
If they were serving in Siberia these days, it seems to me they were probably serving honorably. I don’t like to see human suffering just because I dislike their ruler or government.
I’m not convinced the majority of Russians hate us. We have a lot of immigrants from Russia. Seems to me people who hated America wouldn’t be choosing to live here.
I agree that sympathy for their families is warranted.
I wasn’t aware a huge jetliner crashed into the barracks.
I would expect to see furnishings, personal effects and lots of loose paper littering the inside of the building.
