Chernobyl

I watched a 3 hour documentary on this one time. It's crazy. At one point there was a huge plot to kidnap his body (Presidential dead guy nap) and hold it for ransom. They finally just had to build a fortress so nobody could steal him.

He's 8-12 feet deep in solid concrete. Was last seen approx 1904? Body was said to be white as chalk but beard and dress was unanimously agreed to be Abe Lincoln

Did anyone watch the documentary of them building the new dome that they put over the Nuclear plant at Chernobyl? I am for some reason fascinated by people willing to go work at that site.

Yes, it was super interesting.

Just finally getting to watch this now...a little tired this morning as I watched 3 straight episodes last night because I couldn't turn it off. 2 more to go.

Amazingly well done, well cast, well acted, etc.

Finally getting around to watching it (through two episodes).

Absolutely chilling. I knew the general story, but to see it play out like that. Damn.

Looks like maybe Russia was working on a sequel? https://phys.org/news/2019-07-ro5-radioactive-major-nuclear.html

If you can't trust the Russians, who CAN you trust?

Same topic - but on 60 minutes they had a segment on fukushima and the advanced robotics they are trying to develop. These are some really complex engineering challenges - always interesting to see how they attack these problems.
