      Some distillation tower for sure, cut off too early to see what the effect was. If it was a running cracker I can’t imagine how big of a disaster this would have been, a cat going up was always the nightmare scenario when I was doing incident planning around refinery equipment. If it wasn’t, it’s still gonna shut this whole plant down while they deal with it. Real impressive job by the UAV pilot either way, slava ukraini!

        It might not even matter. The towers are 50m apart and it is a tiny plant. This could well have hit both.
