Comment on The European mind can't comprehend
Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 1 week agoWeather related or due to lack of investment?
I used to live off of 3 miles of dirt road that was not maintained by anyone. After hurricanes sinkholes would open or the road would flood with 1-5 feet of water.
During this time, paramedics or fire department would use boats, helicopters, or swim if neither was available…

Found good source. The only bridge lacked lights and was in such severe disrepeair, that it was closed with padlock(LMAO), which in winter became frozen and could not be opened.
As I understand, nobody told ambulance that village has no road connetion, but even then I’m not sure they had helicopter nearby. I found news article, that says Karelia bought one 8 months earlier, but I don’t know why it wasn’t used. Either lack of connection was not reported or UR member stole it. Regional MP posted that it was reported to administration long time ago, but they did nothing. Also he mentioned abandoned building that is near collapsing near school, but it’s unrelated.
