Today, April 26, 2023, marks the 37th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. And this podcast is NOT about that. True, we were inspired by this anniversary, but we are talking about industrial disasters whose direct effects were much worse than Chernobyl. More people died, the contamination was stronger. But... few people remember them, they cause few emotions. So there is the release of poisonous gas in Bhopal, the terrible explosion in Texas City, the dramatic contamination in the secret city of Chelyabinsk-40 or the terrible mudslide in... Kiev. This is our longest podcast to date. And the first one for which we ask you to consider supporting our activities through Patronite.
