Shortly before the explosion that caused part of a building in Nizhny Tagil to collapse, two unknown individuals in gas service uniforms walked around the apartments of a neighboring building, the SHOT Telegram channel reports, citing eyewitnesses.
No official inspections were scheduled for August 1. The buildings were inspected in July.
One of the fake gas workers hit the gas pipe, after which the men ran away.
The reason for the collapse of the entrance, as confirmed by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, was a gas explosion.
