Chernobyl - Page 9

Just finished the first episode; I guess I'll be keeping HBO a bit longer after Game of Thrones ends.

It is fascinating, horrifying and infuriating. And spellbinding.

The radiated firefighters were melting. Christ.

Yeah. Can't unsee that noise. And her being preggers....Oof.

I wonder how much time passed between them looking like humans, then the end?

BoB = Battle on Blackwater? Battle of Bastards?

Band of Brothers, I think.

Damn... cringeworthy once she said she was preggers. I guess if you didn't know anything at all about radiation.....

Yeah pretty wild

Being that damn close to an open reactor core is gonna do some damage

The dude in the first episode that they sent to the roof to look at it had his face melted off

oh, forgot about that one. yeah that was so well done, I dont think it will be topped. they even cast David Schwimmer in a role that he occupied perfectly. Usually I just turn off the TV when I see Dave Schwimmer, but his turn in Band o' brothers was award worthy

Yeah. It’s hard to even contemplate the scale of what happens

Binge watched the episodes last night and I'll give it a 6/10 rating. I didn't realize Brick Top was a nuke.

So far I'm giving this a 10, when something is real and not fiction, that makes it even far more ghastly.

I was wondering why they don't cremate the bodies, is it because the smoke from the incinerator would still be radioactive? It seems with amount bodies they're going to have, coffins and cement will be in high demand.

I never thought about this, but from 1998 to 2011 I lived in northeast Maryland (Bel Air), which was only about 30 miles from Peach Bottom Nuclear power plant and my favorite golf course was Pilgrim's Oaks in Delta, PA. A course owned and maintained by the Amish, it was only five miles from Peach Bottom. Here's a photo of that place, it's only about 40 miles from Baltimore and maybe 60 from Philly.

Not to try to move this thread into DC, but if there was EVER an argument for allowing assisted suicide... I mean, JFC, who would EVER want to die that way?!?!

Right. The entire key is CONTAIN, because the irradiated material is continue to spit out radiation.

What you see coming off of there is nothing but regular old steam. And the key thing that you do see is the ****ing cement dome, which is a containment vessel if anything goes wrong. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty damn sure EVERY nuclear power plant in America, and probably most of the rest of the world, had them, other than in the Communist states.

Compare to Chernobyl (pre-accident), with no ****ing containment dome.
