Coal Plant Explodes (MT; Open)

Postby Maltropia » Sun Feb 07, 2010 2:55 pm

Maltropian West Coast. 0347 hours

It was a dark night, much like all of the other nights experienced on the Maltropian western coast. The moon was partially obscured by the clouds which covered most of the stars; it was almost pitch black. A chill breeze was sweeping up the coast, bringing in sea wrack and... a small boat. As the boat scraped the sandy beaches of the shore, 5 men jumped out, carrying wires and small, bulky objects. As they ran up in silence to the dimly illuminated complex that pumped grey-black fumes into the sky, another stood by at the boat.

Minutes later they came hurrying back and leapt into the boat. Without delay they rowed as far as they could, around the nearest headland. Their timing was perfect; seconds later a thundering explosion roared out across the bay. As rubble showered the sea and land around the peninsula, all of the countries southwest fell into darkness.


OOC: Map of Maltropia. The coal plant is located on the headland between the furthest west port and the weird bay to the south of it.

Official Statement

Maltropian Government Buildings, Corcaigh Nua,

Today an unanticipated disaster occurred at one of An Bord Leictreachas's coal facilities on the Western coast. We have brought in emergency aid for the populations of local towns, but can not afford the costs of paying for electricity supplies. We have diverted power from the South-central and North-west provinces, but it is not enough.

We have begun an investigation into the cause of the disaster, but it is at a standstill until the rubble from the site can be cleared.

There are 2 main possible causes:
An attack by a terrorist organisation
Mechanical fault - as Maltropia's second oldest coal facility, this particular plant was ot overly safe.

Plans were in place to decommission the plant; it looks as though it has been done for us. If it is terrorists, they may rest assured that the Maltropian government does not take kindly to threats and will respond with force to defend her people from harm.

Sincerely,
King Brendan I
Rex Maltropiæ

BUMP and aplogies for this coming up at the same time as a power plant disaster in Conneticut. I heard about that after putting this up; it was unintended to cause offense.
