I didn’t know much about what had happened at Chernobyl except for how a lot of people died from radiation, so I decided to watch with movie to get a better understanding of it. I definitely was not prepared for the the movie had to show.

I didn’t know that the core LITERALLY EXPLODED — I thought there was just a minor meltdown. It turned out to be much more serious than I had expected. The number of people that were injured and/or died just because of someone’s mistakes at a power plant is terrible. The Russian government trying to pass it off as a lie / ensure everyone else that it wasn’t serious is also terrible.
