Ukraine PM appeals for unity after Odessa tragedy

[The Magistrate]

58. The Problem With Lofting A Molotov That High, Sir

Is not dipping the liquid in the bottle to or below the level of the flaming wick. That is something the thrower will wish devoutly to avoid. Pick up a bottle yourself and give it a dry-run; you will find it very difficult to get any sort of a wrist-snap into the throw without tipping the bottle dangerously, or moving in a way which will slosh liquid against the wick end, and the snap of the wrist provides most of the power and distance in a toss. The things are fiendishly dangerous to handle.

There is footage showing interior fire on upper floors, and showing burning bottles being thrown down. This is sufficient grounds for suspicions fire broke out higher in the building owing to mishandling of incendiary devices.

There is certainly a large fire on the ground floor at the entrance by the end of the thing. This is certainly consonant with incendiary devices thrown from a crowd in front of the building.
