Welcome to Litsy!

In our world there are always untold stories things in the past we don‘t want to believe or we feel a certain about, but it‘s our world our history. This book is another like my previous post (Stamped from the Beginning) history we need to embrace the good the bad and the ugly.

Early in the morning of April 26, 1986, Reactor Number Four of the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station exploded, triggering history‘s worst nuclear disaster. In the thirty years since then, Chernobyl has become lodged in the collective nightmares of the world: shorthand for the spectral horrors of radiation poisoning. #feedyourmindbookclub

Excellent look into the accident at Chernobyl. I always forget that there were multiple reactors and it was only one, reactor 4, that failed/melted down.
Of course in classic bureaucratic fashion they blamed the workers and not the shoddy construction and inadequate materials used. They also ignored the multiple safety concerns.
The devastation that this caused is unreal.

Up next.
Man Cub, my parents, and I were talking about Chernobyl the other night because of a clue on Jeopardy Masters tournament and it was a segment on the show ‘Mysteries at the Museum‘ the artifact was a ginger counter.
Too many signs pointing me to this book 😆

Ugh. Devestating and infuriating. A book of collected stories from those affected by the meltdown. Citizens, soldiers, scientists, and volunteers. Took me all month to read it. It was good.. just heavy. All the triggers btw..

The first part of this is like watching a very slow-moving car crash. A call-the-police-and-ambulance-and-fire-department crash.

This is fascinating although it‘s sometimes over my head—physics is not my forte. It‘s very tough to put down. Thus, I‘m alternating between audio and print. 😄

Another book I wouldn‘t have picked up except for #auldlangspine. Thanks, @Sharpeipup 🙌🙌🙌
