Chernobyl

Friday, April 26th was the anniversary of Chernobyl.  Below I have posted a silent film that contains original footage from recently after the reactor explosion but before people were told what they were dealing with.

 

If you are interested in learning more about Chernobyl, I suggest reading the Wikipedia page, as it will lead you to more if you wish to continue learning.  As you learn, do consider Japan and what happened recently in that country and the local and global effects of that disaster.

There are many terrible but fascinating documentaries and studies about Chernobyl and the mutations caused by it.  I have not posted those links, because the images can be quite disturbing.  Consider yourself warned.
