Yeah in the podcast this morning the show writer/creator was telling how those stories were much worst than he showed. He mentioned a scene where a puppy was shot and thought to be dead. Turns out it was still alive as the cement was being poured. The guys felt bad about burying it alive but... they were all out of bullets...
I'm sure being part of those hundreds of thousands of people that did the cleanup changed them cats almost as bad as being a war veteran
I addressed the dogs above.
As far as the "You're done" comment, i had misinterpret it the same way you did until i listened to the podcast this morning. He didnt mean "YOU are done" as in that soldier is screwed. He meant "You are done with your mission" because after being exposed to that amount of radiation for 90 seconds those dudes were completely removed from that evacuation zone because within a few seconds they got hit with more radiation than they should for a lifetime. So they should be removed from that area completely.
Hourly logs are kept for People that work in radioactive environments. They limit how much exposure you can take within a week or a month using these "films" that indicate how much radioactive exposure you've had. Once you reach a certain limit you need to be removed from the environment.
I think he was stumbling around before he ripped his boot, because he couldn't help looking over the wall whenever he shoveled the graphite over it. He was already weak from getting exposed to the core.Man this was a hard episode to watch. Jesus those dogs man...That stupid firefighter girlfriend killed her unborn child like I knew she would and that roof clearing scene had me
Ol boy boot ripped and the other telling him “You’re done”....
He really was man. That cat probably died or will die within a day or 2. This show is unbelievable and has me going through too many emotions.
shyt is bird box except there is no level of protective anything to save youI was actually shouting out loud "Stop looking over the ledge! STOP LOOKING OVER THE LEDGE!!". Then, he went and tripped and tore open his shoe
This show really is exactly like watching a horror movie...except the monster is completely invisible (like a sadistic ninja).
i think it was a double entendre
but is he alive to ask him how?
said he knows the KGB is listening and he wants them to hear this fury 
Link to the pod?Brehs... just listened to the podcast.
I'm telling you, you get an even greater appreciation and understanding by listening to the show creator/writer talk about the actual events and how they showed it on the show and then real things that happened, they shot the scene but in the end they felt it was too much for viewers.
Like dude described a scene based on a true story and they shot the scene but he felt the episode was heavy enough as it was he felt he'd be abusing the audience.
HINT: Had to do with killing the puppies
Did a couple Googles and my understanding is that Graphite itself isn't radioactive but it doesn't destroy radiation, it just absorbs radiation. And so, when the explosion happened, the absorbed radiation was present in the graphite, making it radioactive for humans.
