Unauthorized dam breaks, flood kills 15 gold miners in Siberia


Thirteen still missing.

The dam was built without governmental approval or inspection. Or, as a government official said:

"The hydro-technical facility was self-constructed and, I believe, all rules I can and cannot think of were violated." -- Yuri Lapshin, head of the Krasnoyarsk regional government.

Not to point fingers at anyone other than the mining company and those who fund the company, but … A dam is built without approval or inspection by the regional governmental agency responsible for approving and inspecting dams. Then, the dam remains in service for however long it was there, but no one has said, with no inspections. Any competent government … Oh. We’re talking about Russians here.
