50s. Brick insert that will make the explosion has already been built.

And people continued to live here until the 60s, until the explosion occurred. The largest by the number of victims of the explosion of domestic gas in Soviet history. In late December, the capital, as usual, is preparing to celebrate the New Year. The stores already lined up a queue for gifts, sold out in full unchanging attributes of the winter holiday - the Christmas tree. The city lived a pleasant bustle ... preparing for the upcoming holiday and residents five-story building on the street Polina Osipenko. They did not know that all Pre efforts in vain. Many of them were destined to meet the coming year ...

Suddenly, inside the house heard two deafening explosion! And then ... Then, according to eyewitnesses, there was something trudnovoobrazimoe three upper floors of the house separated from the lower structure, climbed up and hung in the air ...! And only then, crashing down, collapsed! All residents of the third, fourth and fifth floors - 147 people - were killed! Some residents threw up a powerful explosion Krasnokholmsky bridge!

The map shows two stump former 77th between them stuck office center.



Here is what the inhabitants of the neighboring, the second building house number 77 on the street ...
Polina Osipenko
Solovyov I.N .: "At this time I was washing. Suddenly the water rose from the bath and splashed with linen. I was thrown and hit the wall. Vspuchilis bathroom floor, the room fell television, refrigerator, dresser. Son struck on the door and thrown into the corridor ... Part of the neighboring housing was destroyed, some blocks thrown in the surrounding streets with residents, people hanging in the trees. One woman with a balcony was cast on the Garden Ring ".



Borisenko AP: "I dumped my chair when I watched TV. Television itself jumped as if someone had flipped. The boards in the floor arched up, chest turned ... I put the boots to go out, and suddenly jolted again ... Glass flew into our house, even on the opposite side of the explosion ... On the street met a man who came and held his head. He said that it was thrown together with a couch from the fifth floor. Some residents threw very far - to Krasnokholmsky bridge ... "

Just set up a special commission, which included representatives of various, including law enforcement, agencies to investigate the causes of the tragedy. During the proceedings, the Commission has put forward several versions: a bomb blast, left over from the war, sabotage, explosion of household gas. Part of the house spread, many wounded were taken to hospitals, and the remaining residents gradually resettled. For several years the house was dilapidated, and then it was given to the offices and institutions. From the letter "G" was only moved a long leg, the rest was not subject to restoration.



The next day came to the ruins of Brezhnev. Impressed, seen in the midst of the ruins of Moscow, Leonid Ilyich actively supported the idea of ​​folding the gasification of houses.
