      Makes you wonder what other disasters here should get a HBO historical drama like Chernobyl.

    My Grandfather was 17 or 18 years when he joined the New Zealand army to fight in Vietnam and not just were the Americans and the Vietnam people were affected by Agent Orange by all allied forces like the Australian and New Zealand army soldiers were impacted by this chemical warfare and my grandfather got infected with this chemical.
    And this causes not just life longs affect that affect him today but also caused genetic disorders and mutations in many of my father's family.
    That has caused such problems such as autism and other neurological disorders in my cousins and my older brother suffers from Epilepsy and my 8 year old brother suffers from Autism and my father believes these were directly caused from what my grandfather was contaminated by while serving in Vietnam. It's so horrible what the Americans decided to do not knowing or considering what the consequences of their actions would do not just towards the environment but also to the innocent Vietnamese people and towards other allied forces who still suffer from what they did decades ago.

  • @katiebonser9712
    @katiebonser9712 Před 2 měsíci

    Chernobyl disaster was caused by a flawed reactor design and sloppy training from the nightshift employees.
    The Castle Bravo test, the shrimp device was meant to have 5-6 megatons but due to a miscalculation it was 15 megatons which is why it was 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The resulting fallout rained on the other atolls and on a nearby Japanese tuna boat due to change of weather patterns.

    Some Experts assume that effects of the Shrinking of the Aral Sea is equally devastating than the Chernobyl Desaster. So why is it just no.9? It should be at least in the top five of this list.
    I mean the Shrinking alone contributes aproximately 1% to the entire global warming. A once prospering eco system is totally devastated: no sea life and no plants anymore just desert. Almost irrepairable.
