During this event, I watched the last two episodes of Chernobyl, despite not having watched any other prior episodes. However, it was still easy to follow along. The episodes were very intriguing. It was clear that there were many careless mistakes made that could have prevented the death and impaired health of many individuals. The part that intrigued me the most was the fact that the entire explosion of the power plant was caused by the rushing of a safety check and assigning an inexperienced employee, all in an effort to make money and gain recognition for developing such a device. If certain characters in the film had just done things the textbook way instead of essentially being lazy, the explosion would have never happened. It was also interesting that the radiation had long term effects on people that were in the surrounding area which is sad because they had nothing to do with the explosion and weren’t even aware of the predicament.
