Dock Collapse in Alushta Leaves No Casualties

In a surprising turn of events, a pier collapsed in the picturesque village of Plyodnoye, Crimea. The incident, which took place on a disrepairing and unused pier, has triggered an investigation by the Investigative Committee of Russia.

The incident involved the injury of two minors, aged seven and eight, who were trapped under a collapsing wall of an old garage adjacent to the pier. Thankfully, no one else was injured during the collapse.

Local emergency services, including the Crimean Emergency and Rescue Service "Crimea-Spas," were swiftly deployed to the scene to rescue the four fishermen who were on the pier during the collapse. However, it appears that they managed to escape unharmed.

The village's prosecutors are now involved in the investigation, and the investigation will assess compliance with legal requirements in maintaining the structure and establish all circumstances surrounding the incident.

The pier's state of disrepair was a cause for concern, with many questioning why it was not closed off to the public. The investigation will likely shed light on these questions.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of structures in the area, particularly those that are not regularly maintained. It serves as a reminder for authorities to ensure the safety of their communities.

The investigation is currently underway in Krasnodar Krai, the region where the village of Plyodnoye is located. The village itself is situated in the city of Alushta, Crimea.

We extend our well-wishes to the injured minors and hope for their swift recovery. This unfortunate incident underscores the importance of regular maintenance and safety checks for public structures.
