No matter what I`ll write here, it wont be enough. No matter what words I`ll use, it wont be enough. No matter what say, it wont be enough. No matter how sorry we are, it wont be enough. So I`ll just bring you back in the days.

26 April 1986. Calm night for the people living in Pripyat. Calm night for the staff at NPP "Chernobyl". Everyone was getting ready for a routine test of the new built reactor number 4. The test begins normally, but the co-engineer who is in charge for the test wants to disregard the rules and run the test on lower power.
The person in control of the reactor loses it due to the low power. The reactor shuts down. In order to bring it "back to life" the staff must take out the control rods that are controlling the reacting inside of the reactor. Once they are taken out, the reaction bursts out and can't be stopped anymore.
But something much more lethal was growing deep into the reactor, hidden from everything that could detect it. The quickly growing energy creates a massive amount of hot steam in the lower part of the reactor, that's growing with every second.
The danger inside of the reactor is growing while the test is going "good" in the main room. No one is aware of the danger.
A few minutes later, the staff, already aware of the danger are using the emergency system. It inserts the control rods back into the core of the reactor, but then the inevitable happens. The edge of each and every rod is made of graffit which increases the reaction millions of times. Reactor number 4 explodes.
It takes 8 days to extinguish the fire caused by the reactor. Over 400,000 casualties of the nuclear apocalypse.

25 years later. Pripyat is a ghost town and Chernobyl is a place that's hated by many, but respected by all.

A human mistake plus a flaw in technology can lead to this.

Rest in peace to all the casualties given.
