The Russians get on with shit. they have always been that way. Whereas in the west we cry, mourn, hug, have long chat sessions, lay some wreaths, initiate investigations...wait...talk some more...construct panels to evaluate the preliminary findings...wait...release findings in 10,000 page government reports...assign corrective actions to bureaucratic agencies...handle litigation...initiate Congressional review...handle litigation....

Meanwhile the initial dead Russians are worm shit and they have already pushed forward with a new product.

It only takes a picture to convince you of the truth of something?

I believe the official Russian response was "Oh well, shit happens".

That is what RT has delivered:

Five staff of Russia’s nuclear corporation Rosatom were killed and three suffered serious burns in the blast during a test of a liquid-propellant engine that resulted in a brief spike of radiation around the military testing site.

“As a result of the accident at the military firing range in Arkhangelsk region during liquid reactive propulsion system tests, five employees of the state corporation Rosatom were killed,” the company said. Three military and civilian specialists remain in serious condition, but their injuries are “not life-threatening.”

Adding to the confusion, social media were flooded with chilling photos and videos of a massive blast and a mushroom-like plume of black smoke – which came from a totally different incident in Siberia.

The tragedy has happened in a secret area, so not too many details were available. However
Russian authorities caught three U.S. diplomats in a restricted area near a secret test site in northern Russia. The trio, which included the U.S. military and naval attachés, was removed from a train on October 14 and briefly questioned by Russian authorities in the sensitive Arctic shipyard city of Severodvinsk, near the site of a mysterious explosion in August that killed five nuclear workers.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that U.S. diplomats regularly tried to get into restricted military areas.
