[quote:Atom-Boy:MV8xODQ5Mzk3XzMwODMwNjU2XzFFNkFDMUU5] In the first day we knew nothing, as far as i remember the first News came 3 Days later which must be 28-29 Of April from Sweden who measured a wave of Radiation. [color=red]The initial evidence that a major release of radioactive material was affecting other countries came not from Soviet sources, but from Sweden, where on the morning of 28 April[81] workers at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant (approximately 1,100 km (680 mi) from the Chernobyl site) were found to have radioactive particles on their clothes.[82][/color] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#International_spread_of_radioactive_substances At this Time Swim was living in Amsterdam and visited the University, the News circled around very fast! It was a crazy Time with Demonstrations against the Nuclear Plants and the Nuclear Holocaust on the hight of the Cold War, the People was very active, also the People learned already how to fight back! Itar-Tass confirmed a "Nuclear Accident" on the 04.30.86 with only a few Words and didn't changed this in the next Weeks! The Cloud hit us around the second Week of May! [b]Mankind to remember Chernobyl tragedy[/b] [color=darkred]Fallout of 190 tonnes of radioactive substances was one of the consequences of the nuclear accident in Soviet Ukraine. Eight out of 140 tonnes of the fuel from the exploded reactor had erupted into the air. People at Chernobyl were exposed to radiation 90 times stronger than that after the bombing of Hiroshima, and an area of 160,000 square kilometres was contaminated with radiation.[/color] http://www.itar-tass.com/en/c154/402931.html [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU4_bJT8W3Y[/youtube] [/quote]
