actually. i think u'll find it was due to bad design and operating instructions that caused a major malfunction during a test. the test was delayed and performed at night when there were not properly trained staff working. the test was performed then instead of waiting... as they wanted to get it done before a party conference the next day.
the station was only a couple of years old when it exploded so would not have needed too much maintenance.

The skinny little fuck looks like a mongoloid anyway, shoulda slammed him on his neck better
