| 1462054 | 2019-07-02 19:05:00 | I wonder why this series has not been mentioned on here. Its really great, so well done. There are five episodes and I saw them all in two days. Then to help me understand it better I watched episode 1 again, and it all came together. There is a final shut down button called AZ-5. Its clearly labelled. But was there an AZ- 1 or 2? Just read about another Russian submarine accident in the Artic today on BBC world "But, in Russia's case, incidents have often ended in tragedy. In 2000, 118 submariners died after two explosions on board the nuclear-powered Kursk. Eight years later, 20 men on the Nerpa nuclear sub died of asphyxiation." Wow, I never hear of that one in 2008 on the Nerpa. Warning... Don't ever watch Chernobyl on Youtube, or you will be bombarded with videos about the disaster for the next two weeks. Everyone of them is amazing and full of detail (or rubbish) but the comments are all amazing. |

Thats a big part of why they were built they way they were . so many nuke disaters that are forgotten about US Missle silo expolsion , a nuke armed missle blew up . Luckily the nuke didnt go off but was blown out of the silo . Caused by simply dropping a spanner during maintainance nukes dropped from planes accidentally , requiring a huge cleanup to get rid of the radioactive mess 3 mile Island Explosions at Uk sites :not the reactor itself but there was radation issues from the explosion storing the nuke waste onsite : in containers that are now well beyond their safe lifetime . No longer safe to move it, no longer safe to leave it there . K19 sub's nuke reactor disaster : some of the crew had to go in & fix it : a death sentence the list goes on and on :-( The book Command Control has a good run down of the US 'issues' with warheads lost of accidently dropped |
