Scientist attacks colleagues at South African base in Antarctica
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] One of the scientists attacked his colleagues at the South African research base Sanae IV in Antarctica. This was reported by the British newspaper The Times, citing South African Environment Minister Dion George.  According to him, a conflict arose between the head of the research group and one of the scientists, during which the latter attacked his opponent. "You can imagine what it's like to be in a cramped space and people really start to get nervous. It can be very disorienting," George said. The South African minister specified that scientists at the base undergo psychological examination before the expedition due to the harsh working conditions. He added that the researchers who arrived to study the climate of Antarctica will spend at least another nine months at the base due to extreme weather conditions. It is specified that the message from Sanae IV with a request for rescue was received last week and it says that the attacker is a threat to the entire team. At the same time, the man's behavior is "deeply disturbing" since he threatened to kill one of his colleagues and was accused of sexually assaulting another researcher. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 3, five people were injured in an armed attack at a bus station in Haifa, Israel. It was specified that a bus station security guard was able to neutralize the attacker with a shot from a firearm.
