I followed all of those tragic events at the time, and i've read and seen many documentaries about Chernobyl. All i can say to this is the famous words of our Scottish bard Rabbie Burns...Man's inhumanity to man holds no bounds.

So true Mac, sometimes I am ashamed to be a human.

Very humbling story and one very brave woman to share it. I live within 100 miles a nuclear reactor myself and actually never give it much thought unless I happen to be driving up that way and see it in the distance. For some odd reason i think id would be fascinating to to travel as she did and see firsthand the destructtion caused by man's stupidity. Yea I know I am odd in that way. Hopefully at some point in time we as humans will learn from the past mistakes we have made and do better to protect the future,

Joe

My son turned 26 yesterday. Today, he starts his first day of work at a nucular facility. He thought it odd that he can't wear tennis shoes but can wear jeans and casual clothes. The rubber soles on tennis shoes slow down the ability to jump into a protective suit, wheras leather soles glide easier into the legs.
I worry.
