01.01.1970 //Robot is Saviour the hostel OF MGU from the explosion.
Last Saturday unknown criminals attempted to set fire the 18- storeyed wing of the main building of the Moscow State University im. Lomonosov. In the university hostel they installed two bombs, one had to derive from the system elevators, and another - cause powerful fire. Only because of the robot for field engineer, it was possible to avoid large misfortune. Explosion on the third floor of the hostel of the departments of physics and chemistry OF MGU thundered on Saturday in 4.57 mornings. The colleagues of police department for the protection OF MGU, first the arrived in the place incidents, established that the explosion occurred in elevator Hall. Despite the fact that home-made bomb was uncoated and weak (only 50 g in the TNT equivalent), explosion badly damaged door and devices of elevators, after knocking out the piece of wall. On the order of the management of VUZ - Institute of Higher Education and GUVD of Moscow from the hostel were evakuirovano about 300 people. On the second floor of building the operational staff, which the attorney of Moscow Yuri Semin headed was arranged. On its order the colleagues of special services and kinologi with the dogs arranged checking entire building. Approximately after two hours in elevator Hall of the ninth floor of hostel, in the sanitary-engineering mine one additional explosive device was discovered. Explosives-technician investigated it with the aid of the video camera, fastened to the manipulator of robot- field engineer. It turned out that in the mine was suspended the metallic jar, next to which were fixed two 10-liter capacities with the gasoline. Explosives-technician decided to destroy explosive device on the spot. Robot shot bomb from the hydro-gun. Osmatrivaya the fragments of bomb, explosives-technician came to the conclusion that its main charge, equivalent according to power 500 g of trotyl, consisted of the mixture of saltpeter and aluminum powder. To operate charge must it was on the signal, which entered from the electronic it was hour. After explosion the burning canisters had to fall and cause fire throughout the entire length of mine. Taking into account that the elevators were already "opened" by the explosion of the first bomb, the fire, which occurred in the hostel early in the morning, when the majority of its inhabitants slept, it could lead to the numerous victims. "hostel decrepit, here everything must be overhauled", described student Tatiana. "but, in spite of recent fire, any repair or strengthening fire safety we not had, added she. - If the first floors catch fire, then through half-hour from obshchagi you will not be selected. Elevators old, frequently works only one - it will not drive away all. But if we burn will from below, then on the stairs cannot be been escaped ". In this case the participants in the investigation, with whom it was possible to have a talk for correspondents 7, focused attention on the fact that the obtained bomb was similar by the construction to that that on 22 August of this year it was exploded on The cherkizovskom market of Moscow. There bomb was also prepared from the saltpeter, which smololi in the coffee mill. As a result of that act of terror 10 people perished, and 49 more obtained injuries. Mosprokuratura considers this crime as that opened - on the charge in it is arrested the group of nationalists, into which entered the student- chemists. Their accomplices, count consequence, one should search for among the students of the chemical and physics departments OF MGU. Meanwhile criminal case in connection with sequential CHP in MGU (during April of this year in the same building occurred large fire with the smoke-screening, as a result of which two students perished, and five more proved to be in the hospital) it is excited not on the fact of the prepared arson or act of terror, but altogether only on 1st part of 213-1 of article UK RF ("hooliganism"). Even consequence on it is charged to conduct not to procuratorship, but to the colleagues OF UVD of Western region. "this is not connected with the fact that the possible consequences of that occurred underestimate law-enforcement agencies, they said 7 in Mosprokurature. - Simply consequence yet did not obtain the results of all examinations. We do not exclude, that the matter will be trained for a new profession to the heavier article ". In the operational- investigation brigade they hope that the "hooliganism" in the hostel can be opened almost on the hot tracks. The fact is that people from the side fall into the hostel could only on the passages, in this case on watch store kserokopii of the produced documents. Access to the chemicals in students is unconfined, but, as operatives are considered, it is possible to otsledit', who of them was interested in saltpeter. Moreover on nesrabotavshem SVU could remain it was fingerprint. Now detectives question those living in the hostel and remove in them it is fingerprint. "to me reported the first results of investigation on the explosion in MGU, said the mayor of Moscow Yuri luzhkov. - This is homemade product, explosive is created in the flask. Most likely, this is saltpeter with some components. These data make it possible to assume that someone of the students is critical for the incident. This is chemistry department - most likely, searched for criminals must be there ".
