Buran buried

Tags:

BuranStored in a hangar undergoing structural work at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Soviet-era Space Shuttle Buran is destroyed when that building collapses, an incident that also costs the lives of several workers at the site. Russian space officials deny that poor maintenance is an issue at the site; the Buran shuttle, the only Soviet shuttle to reach space, is damaged beyond repair.
