HBO: Chernobyl

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 4,488]

I have been there. I do not have HBO. I have been asked what I thought of the documentary. I said if it has actors, it is not a documentary.  I will visit a friend and watch it later.

Actors = docudrama. Frequently with emphasis on the drama.

I'm finding it interesting so far. Especially the chaos and how nonchalant everyone seems to be taking the situation

I read an article in Scientific American shortly after it happened.  If I redcall correctly, the author maintained that one group of engineerswanted to test the safety controls by reducing coolant flow and the production engineers kept over riding the safety mechanisms because it was a peak demand time.  Poor communication and poor planning resulted in the disaster.

I'm trying not to give anything away, but I'm not talking about the government. I'm talking about everywhere along the chain. You'll see what I mean
