Just discovered this series, pretty great. Only going to be 5 episodes which good. The acting is incredible. The historical account is good too. Apparently two of those 3 dudes who go into the plant are still alive. One guy died from heart failure in 2005.

Got to remember, the USSR and the US are still knee deep into the Cold War and any ANY failures can be used a propaganda for the other side.

shyt went left when a plant all the fukk way in SWEDEN was getting readings from Chernobyl thanks to the winds. Germany wasn't allowing kids to play outside. Meanwhile in Pripyat, it was a Tuesday. Every so often I wiki or look up Chernobyl because even though it is a tragic event (as it is ongoing will be for THOUSANDS OF YEARS) it a fascinating scientific study on the effect of nuclear power on our environment. The surrounding towns won't be habitable for 20,000-30,000 years. The town is still intact from 1986 because people were told they were only going to be gone for 3 days. There are tours that take you into the area for short periods of times. There are people who sneak in and steal equipment and stuff laying around even though its highly radioactive.

In the US, we have our own "Chernobyl" in the form of the Hanford site in Washington state. They have been leaking nuclear waste into the Columbia river since the 40s. The 1940s... till now.

thought I was the only one who periodically went back and read about Chernobyl and other nuclear disasters (Fukashima too). It's crazy how many nuclear power plants are in the US (I live like 2 hours from one).

Chernobyl happened a week before I was actually born (May 4th). Shyt always leave me :mindblown:

Where is 'the most toxic place in America'?

Athletic 35-year-old men who have never touched cigarettes are not supposed to come down with a debilitating lung disease usually linked to smoking.

But Seth Ellingsworth of West Richland, Washington, says he got sick in an instant last year, when he briefly inhaled a strange odor at his job at the nearby Hanford Nuclear Site.


"I started having breathing problems," said Ellingsworth, "and it hasn't gone away since."

The father of four, who has reactive airway disease and is now unable to work, wore a nebulizer mask and gasped for air as he showed NBC News all the medicines he's forced to take. "This is a corticosteroid. This is a pill I take, it's Zafirlukast. This is prednisone. This is a bronchodilator."

Seems to be some controversy with whether or not those divers survived. Some have them dying a week later while some have 2 of them still alive to this day. Gonna be interesting to see which way the show goes since they have the artistic license to do what they want according to how they want to tell the story. I just don't see how they could wade through all of the shyt and not had bit the (atom) bullet soon after. Choppers out here falling apart in the sky flying over the smoke. nikkas catchin' forced chemo wreck miles and miles away from debris and shyt. But they survived being all up in it like that?

One thing I will say is it's glad to see some good writing again :lolbron: . Even though you already know what happens, how they're getting there has been exceptional so far.
