Chernobyl Before Nuclear Blast
Two employees died instantly, and 28 died over the course of a few months. Even to this day, locals die from the radiation.
In Pripyat, Ukraine, the Chernobyl power plant was in full swing. However, a test of the emergency water cooling system caused a reaction that set off a traumatic chain of events. Two explosions released 400 times more radiation than a bomb dropped at Hiroshima.
