Europe would have been deemed inhabitable
Those three men died for nothing because once muslims get a strong foothold in Europe, it'll be uninhabitable for forever anyway.
All kidding aside, those three guys are heroes of the highest order, imo, if the facts are as presented here. Imagine sacrificing your life like that on a moment's notice. Unbelievable bravery.
But we are supposed to HATE all Russians as "enemies" and embrace "Americans" like this as "patriots"...
The resulting contamination would have been so severe that the entire Europe would have been deemed inhabitable for tens and thousands of years due to radiation.
No doubt the men were brave and prevented some deaths.
Europe uninhabitable for thousands of years? A complete fairy tale.
That’s an amazing sort of heroism and sacrifice. Thank you for sharing.
I could say something snarky about life in the Soviet Union wasn’t really living but I won’t.
These men are HEROES of the highest order. Civilians aren’t normally faced with the prospects of death but these men knew that if they didn’t do their heroic acts, millions would die a long and miserable death.
So upon their shoulders they held the lives of millions and of generations in the future.
Too bad any medals they would receive posthumously have been watered down by medal inflation.
Russia should have minted a new category for those who sacrificed their lives for literally millions of others, across national borders.
As an American,I salute these men.
I remember watching a documentary about the melt down. There was this guy who was a first responder and he was the only one left alive at time of the filming. He had no cancer at all and he was perfectly healthy, other than being older. Some of his fellow firefighter died within days and weeks of their exposure. He must have had some Homer Simpson genes.
Thanks for that post. I wonder if the families were looked after well? I sure hope so.
Wow. I forgot about this story.
That’s an amazing and excellent story. They are like that hero French policeman a few weeks ago who exchanged himself for a hostage. Thanks for posting.
Sounds like internet urban legend from the early 1990s...
