Chernobyl, so hot right now.
Not as hot as back in 1986


How close is Chernobyl to where this took place last week?

Last week? The story is a year and a half old.

It happened last week. The headline is confusing because it says it was a missile Putin had bragged about having a year and a half ago.

If HBO wants to explore a true American tragedy, they should do a minseries/series on the Donner Party. It would be....difficult to watch.

It's could have a tasty plot though.

I thought we'd get that with Yellowjackets on Showtime but they keep finding enough to eat…hoping for starvation in season 2.

Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes on HBO is pretty good as well. You get a lot of the real footage.

Yes, and there are interviews w/ people portrayed in the mini-series as well.

BTW, if you want to watch a nonsensical scare mongering documentary about nuclear power, watch the Netflix one about 3 Mile Island. Totally full of crap.

It is such a beautiful place to visit. Amazingly, my wife didn't know about the story when we took a day trip away from Lake Tahoe.

Highly recommend it for anyone.

Yea, I enjoyed that. They did a good job with it.
So sad for all those people.

As I referenced in other threads, my wife and I had not watched tv for many years so are finally getting caught up. Finished this last night. Incredibly well done. Amazingly enough we had just watched Band of Brothers just previous to this for the first time. Read all of your threads love the comments. Thank you to all the engineers for chiming in

Band of Brothers followed by this is an extremely strong back to back.

I'd recommend Ted Lasso. They need some laughs at this point.

Write a summary of business management lessons learned from observing the Dyatlov character in the Chernobyl HBO miniseries



As an AI language model, I should note that the character of Dyatlov in the Chernobyl HBO miniseries is a dramatization and does not accurately reflect the real person or events. However, from observing the portrayal of Dyatlov in the show, there are several business management lessons that can be learned:

[ol]
  • Don't prioritize short-term gains over long-term consequences. Dyatlov was primarily focused on meeting production quotas and impressing his superiors, even if it meant cutting corners and ignoring safety protocols. This ultimately led to the Chernobyl disaster and the loss of many lives.
  • Listen to experts and take their advice seriously. The scientists and engineers at Chernobyl repeatedly warned Dyatlov and other officials about the dangers of the reactor, but their concerns were dismissed. This highlights the importance of respecting expertise and not letting pride or ego get in the way of making sound decisions.
  • Take responsibility for your mistakes. Dyatlov was quick to blame others and deny his own role in the disaster, even when confronted with evidence to the contrary. Leaders must be willing to acknowledge their mistakes and take ownership of the consequences.
  • Foster a culture of transparency and accountability. The Soviet system at the time of the Chernobyl disaster was notoriously secretive and authoritarian, which made it difficult to identify and address problems. Businesses should aim to create an open and accountable culture that encourages employees to speak up about potential issues.
  • Invest in safety and risk management. The Chernobyl disaster was a tragic reminder of the importance of safety and risk management in high-stakes industries. Businesses should prioritize investment in safety measures and protocols to minimize the risk of accidents and protect their employees and stakeholders.

    Now rewrite from the perspective of Dyatlov himself and from the perspective that he never learned any lessons from the disaster



    As an AI language model, I want to clarify that the portrayal of Dyatlov in the Chernobyl HBO miniseries is a dramatization and does not accurately reflect the real person or events. However, if we were to imagine Dyatlov's perspective and how he might have viewed the events, it could be as follows:

    Perspective of Dyatlov himself:
    From my perspective, I was just doing my job as instructed by my superiors. I had quotas to meet, and I believed that the reactor was safe. I never intentionally put anyone in danger. In fact, I was a victim of the system myself - I was just following orders. The scientists and engineers who warned me about the dangers of the reactor were being alarmist and trying to impede progress. I took responsibility for my actions, but ultimately, the disaster was not my fault.

    Perspective that he never learned any lessons from the disaster:
    The disaster was a tragedy, but it was not my fault. I did everything I could to prevent it, but it was beyond my control. I still believe that the reactor was safe, and the accident was an unforeseeable accident. The scientists and engineers who warned me were just trying to cover their own backs. As a leader, I did what was necessary to meet my quotas and impress my superiors. I didn't learn any lessons from the disaster because there was nothing to learn. It was just an unfortunate accident that happened, and we have to move on from it. In fact, I believe that the disaster was blown out of proportion and that we should focus on the positives of nuclear energy.

    Dyatlov is easily the most hated character of the past decade for me.

    Such a great show but one I don't think I would watch again for how depressing it is.

    Lol you are all missing the fundamental core concept of communism/socialism. Dystlov could never achieve his position if he had any other perspective, and no one can take lessons from anything. Socialism/communism absolutely precludes competence and meritocracy at its core.

    This thread is a cluster **** on par with a scroll through the Politics Board. Why does this show have to be expressing an opinion on nuclear energy at all.


    watching this for the first time. love the show. Increcible.


    but this comment (from 2019 of course) made me laugh.

    if only you knew what life/threads were going to be dominated by just 9 or so months later..
