amazing what the firemen and "Liquidators" did, some didn't know the risk and were given a few $1000 for their effort.

Yeah, it's really scary what they went through during, and many years after, because of the effects of their exposure. I can remember seeing pictures of infants born after the disaster. :(

Spare a thought for these people, too.
 
Definitely some incredible pictures.


Some more brave people that gave their lives trying to prevent any further catastrophe:
The smouldering fuel and other material above were starting to burn their way through the reactor floor, mixing with molten concrete that had lined the reactor, and creating a radioactive semi-liquid material comparable to lava. If this mixture had melted through the floor into the pool of water, it would create a massive steam explosion which would eject more radioactive material from the reactor. It became an immediate priority to drain the pool.

Volunteers in diving suits entered the radioactive water and managed to open the gates. These were engineers Alexei Ananenko (who knew where the valves were) and Valeri Bezpalov, accompanied by a third man, Boris Baranov, who provided them with light from a lamp, though this lamp failed, leaving them to find the valves by feeling their way along a pipe. None of the three ever returned to the surface and it is thought one of them died before reaching the gates.

From the Wikipedia page.


There's a good documentary called 'Chernobyl Heart' about the effects of the disaster on the health of children in the area.

Just weird how the tail cripples itself....Suppose it's the momentum.

It could also have been the damaged rotor blades, or the cables themselves.

I'm watching the 'Chernobyl Disaster incident' videos, they're very detailed and go into the effects and the brave actions taken by those involved.
