00:26Russia: Moscow's Moskva River alight after fire ignites oil spill
A large fire erupted on the banks of the Moskva River in Moscow's eastern district of Maryino, Wednesday, with the fire seemingly igniting oil on the surface of the river, causing the fire to burn across the water's surface. The fire broke in the afternoon, causing a huge plume of jet black smoke - typical of burning oil - to rise into the sky above the city, near what is known to be a crude oil pipeline.
According to an eyewitness, the smoke spread from a building on Porechnaya St. with first responders already at the scene, including firefighters, ambulances and a helicopter.
