It's the floating roof of an oil storage tank outside Moscow, Russia that got destroyed earlier this week. The video makes that gigantic piece of steel look like it thinks it's Wash from Firefly. Just a leaf on the wind.

Terrifying.

I saw the video... wat? I don't watch firefly, I don't like westerns.
