The southeastern part of the country? Isn’t there something else going on in that region as well? Do I recall something happening in that same region to a 777 with 300 people (mostly Europeans and Aussies) aboard?

Whenever I hear the words “no threat” or “it’s all under control”, the phrase ‘famous last words’ immediately springs to mind.....

Errr uhhhhhh.....exactly where was Chernobyl again?

There are no problems.

Then there shouldn't have been an accident.

I spent a night in Zaporizhzhya as I was driving down to Simferopol. Their population is around 1.2 million. Really nice people who went out of their way to help me when I got lost.

I hope everything is fine there.

One of the largest nuclear complexes in the world. Reactors all lined up in a row right next to each other. Cannot get much dumber then that. One Ukrainian official called it a meltdown.
