shitty reactor design it had no like concrete around the reactor so in case of an accident radiation would not come out into the environment so there was an explosion and this was a lot of radiation that came out and got into the atmosphere and what made things worse in this case specifically was that the soviet government didn't tell people about the accident

As a matter of fact, they lied that there was even an accident for a couple of days.

And so people around the area were drinking contaminated milk and eating contaminated food.

And those are the people that got sick.

But even in the case of Chernobyl, which without a doubt was the worst nuclear accident in human history, it's just so overblown.

You know, the confirmed number of fatalities is 59, period.

59 confirmed, right?

So this includes the first responders that you mentioned, this firefighter is going in shoveling, which is crazy that not all of the people who were shoveling the super radioactive stuff actually died from radiation, right?

It would seem to be the case that everybody who did died.

And there is a scene, if you remember the show Chernobyl, there's a scene where these three workers go down to the basement of the reactor to open a valve and they go on a so-called suicide mission.

And that's actually true.

There were three workers that went down to the basin to open a valve, except one of them was still alive last year, 2024.

And the two other ones died like 10 years ago of totally unrelated stuff like heart issues or something else.

It was a current day Ukraine.

So it's just to say, you know, everything that's related to nuclear accidents in Chernobyl is completely overblown.

Another crazy fact, one of the reactors obviously exploded.

So nothing, you know, it was shut down.

Another one was shut down maybe a decade after that reactor exploded.

But the Chernobyl power plant, there were four reactors originally, and one of them kept making electricity until the year 2000.

So there were workers coming in and that's a reactor that shared a wall with the reactor that exploded.
