Following an explosion, first responders and firefighters entered a building to inspect (break into) every room on every floor for signs of fire. It has been reported that some Russian firefighters have been known to steal items during these inspections, as they can deny responsibility after a door lock is broken. The video shows a soldier pouring out water from a stolen water bottle while the director of the BSL4 lab speaks.
There were several investigations conducted by independent Russian reporters into this incident and the subsequent outbreak of an unknown virus in Siberia that occurred shortly after, but I am unable to locate them now.
