On the Russian ship “Partisan”, which is now heading to South Korea with a cargo of scrap metal, there was an explosion followed by fire. The owner is sure that the reason for this could be a meteorite. It is reported Interfax.
The explosion occurred in the open sea at the bow of “partisan”. There are technical rooms and storerooms. The fire broke out. When it extinguished, we found a hole in the housing.
“Partisan” is owned by a ship owning company, “Hudson”, whose representative, Mr Usiskin already been told all the details. According to him, the hole nearly right triangular shape.
“It is evident that sheets of skin and a part of a ship set is strongly concave in the inside, not outside. This gave grounds to assume that the Board was hit by a foreign object outside” – he described the hole Pliskin.
The company did not say unequivocally that the Board “partisan” flew a meteor, but that is a possibility. They fall in the open sea more often than on land.
