    "How about bio-robots?"

    Cue the next scene showing workers running out for 90 seconds.

    I saw pictures of the rooftops. That must have taken weeks/months to complete.

    Jesus, that was so hard to watch. I almost cried.

    I noticed the juxtaposition of the clean up on the roof and the pet 'clean up'.

    Reading further tells horrible things like all of the plants, grass and topsoil should of been removed. Every metal object left behind in apartments and homes.

    The list is enormous and skeptics say not even half of it was done.
    That was difficult to watch. The poor kid hardens enough to get the job done, then comes across a proud mum with pups

    And many men..

    That bit when the guy begins to hyperventilate and stumble. Man, I could feel his state of mind

    It's an amazing concept though. You cross the Russian empire for the most important job of your life. 90 seconds later it's over and your going home.

    Holy shit I stumbled across this on Youtube tonight. Remember the scene where the nurses are dumping the firefighter's clothing in the basement of the hospital?

    That really happened... and that shit is still sitting there. This is creepy:

    I thoroughly enjoyed this series, it was so well made, so beautifully shot.
    Fantastic drama, and the text at the end to acknowledge certain things, like the creation of the female scientists to represent 30 or so who had input to the main man at different times, to get things done, to eventually force change.

    Haven't watched the last episode yet but this guy does a really good, more in depth scientific explanation of the reasons Chernobyl had a melt down, tying it in with the series. Great summary for anyone who's still wanting more info on the subject:
