Nuclear Disaster

As we continue to hear about the unfolding drama in Japan, the potential nuclear disaster is catching headlines and taking the reigns from the devastating tsunami. And while the terms "meltdown" and "fallout" are becoming part of the news' regular vocabulary, most people still don't realize the magnitude of trouble we could potentially be in. Check out this documentary about the Chernobyl disaster. A very sobering realization of the imagined power we have over nuclear energy, and the catastrophic results when that power escapes us.

While reports are coming in that may cause fear or panic, one of the best things we as a witnessing public can do is become informed. This documentary conveys the destruction that can happen, but also talks about the handling of such situations. Get informed on what's happening, know the facts as best you can, and react accordingly.
