An emergency event, comparable in its consequences to a serious earthquake, occurred in the Perm region. In the city of Berezniki, a giant crater formed on the territory of one of the enterprises: 15 meters deep and an area of two and a half thousand square meters. The ground collapse occurred in an industrial area where salt mines are located underground. In dangerous proximity there is a salt factory and a local thermal power plant. Just a kilometer away are residential buildings.
