  The fact that some of these men stayed way past their limits just to prevent others from having to do it is insane. True heroes.

  I was working in a nuclear power plant in Arkansas when Chernobyl blew up. Our electrical supervisor called us into the lunchroom and told those of us in there to take our hard hats off and say a prayer for all of the plant personnel  in Chernobyl whom we knew were going to die. We also prayed for those we knew would die sometime in the near future, their families, and all those others who would be forced to die by the soviet government. Some of us stayed in the lunchroom until we had to go back to our jobs... we prayed long and hard that God would ease their suffering

  "Perhaps for the first time in military history the army was fighting against an invisible enemy and an invisible danger".. Salute to those  brave men.

  The three men that saved the lives of between 60 and 100 million people and unknown numbers of cancers across Europe by volunteering to swim into the reactor and open the sluice gates: Ananenko ; Bezpalov ; Baranov. Super-heroes. Real ones.

  They went willingly into hell to make sure Hell wouldn’t engulf the world

  If a robot broke down so quickly because of the radiation, I shudder to think what effect it had on all those poor human bodies.....
