I wanted to kicked that stupid pregnant bitch in the face so bad. Too bad she didn't die with the baby

Lots of crazy stories that came about from Chernobyl. She was told there was no way she'd ever conceive a kid again. She ended up having a normal child. The three guys that went into the water were told they'd have a week to live. Two of them are still alive today. I'd read the interview scene with Akimov and not showing him was out of respect to his family. He stayed to help at the plant long after the explosion, and he was so irradiated that his face was almost completely gone when his sickness reached final stages.
