7 people were scalded with boiling water in St. Petersburg
In St. Petersburg, as a result of a breakthrough in a heating main, seven people were scalded with boiling water, according to the Fontanka.Ru online publication. Four victims were hospitalized. The body of a 66-year-old pensioner was found not far from the accident site. The owners of the pipe, OAO TGC-1, oppose the wording "killed as a result of a pipe burst with boiling water," since the body was found 120 meters from the spill boundary, albeit with traces of thermal burns.
