Especially when you think about how many of those liquidators died anyway. I read somewhere that cancer rates among the liquidators was four times that of the general population. was there real film footage of those guys at the time?i seem to recall seeing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Shouldn't forget we're talking about conscripts in a totalitarian state. Disobeying meant being shot. Even the miners were rounded up at gunpoint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Just started this, finished the first episode. It is absolutely gripping. Con O'Neill as always is brilliant, as is Jared Harris,didn't realise that he's the son of legendary Hollywood hellraiser Richard Harris until recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Watched the first episode again. The denial of the chief engineer and the bosses is incredible.He stopped in the corridor and saw the graphite pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stopped in the corridor and saw the graphite pieces. That part is apparently true, too. Dyatlov saw the graphite, after having dismissed the report that the reactor had exploded, and thought, "nut; can't be". I understand the bone-headed insistence that the reactor couldn't have exploded under those conditions, and the fact that the operators weren't provided with the full information about the potential initial danger of an AZ-5 situation, but to dismiss the concept that something, anything could have happened outside of the known facts to trigger a core meltdown? You can only think that fear must have played a massive part, both of the consequences to...well, the world, but also the personal consequences of life in a Siberian gulag and the persecution of your family. The human mind's capable of all sorts of self-delusion under that kind of stress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has happened throughout history across every nation in the world with arguably the worst example being the British Government between 1914 and 1919............... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
