Deepest sympathies to his family and friends. What a tragedy! What's a live electric cable doing within easy reach of people on a train platform?!

Dunno, maybe thats fairly typical siberian safety standards. i presume there will be a full investigation.
That's terrible, very sad. And so young, what a loss.

I was in this show about three years ago when one of the dancers was killed by a drunk driver in the states so this is the second tragedy to hit them. It is the hardest thing to get on stage and do a show after something like that hits you. My thoughts are with his familiy and the rest of the cast.
