Chernobyl the NON disaster.

COULD have been, but wasn’t.

Serious, but NOT a disaster.

Now, for the workers who were actually required to handle radioactive material.... a disaster for them.
The rest of the world... not so much. The rest of the Soviet Union... not so much.

Check out Hiroshima/Nagasaki today.

Chernobyl was NOTHING compared Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Just look how they recovered.

Re: "On another version of this article..."

Was that version posted on Free Republic?

I did three different word combination searches before posting, and nothing came up on FR Search.

IF we live through the attack, we’ll be more than fine. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

the mutant wolf on the left has 3 legs in the front an one in the back; the wolf on the right has only 2 legs. Horrible mutations!

It further belies the question why all animal life around Chernoble is not now extinct [...]

You are misusing the verb "to belie" (i.e., "put lie to, e.g., a false statement").

A more-appropriate verb would be "to raise."

It further raises the question why all animal life around Chernobyl is not now extinct [...]

Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross the author of the 5 Stages of Grief wrote an article that if cancer were cured, people would be warehoused waiting for strokes to kill them.

There is a tiny difference ...

"Little Boy had around 140 pounds of uranium, Fat Man contained about 14 pounds of plutonium and reactor number four had about 180 tons of nuclear fuel."
Why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are safe, but Chernobyl isn’t

Thanks...

My link came off Drudge, so I was ultra careful about double posting.

From a science point of view, I think testing Covid vaccine on radioactive wolves is a Nobel Prize idea!

Or rather, being susceptible to cancer means you won’t live long enough to reproduce in that environment, so the ones left are resistant.

That's not a third leg.

It's a tree branch, growing out of chest.

From eating radioactive acorns, perhaps?

Yes that’s part of the mutation - part tree, part wolf, but neither; they usually come in the night for small children, dumb enough not to hide under their beds or lock their closets.
