After reading GPs comment, I almost started thinking about systemic issues of our current economic structures. Good thing you are here to remind us that any problems under capitalism must be accepted without a critical thought, because COMMUNISM!
Chernobyl happened because the son of a central committee member needed data from a dangerous experiment that was conducted at the powerplant. They literally disabled safety systems with wrenches. Both the design itself would have never allowed in the west nor would the experiment that caused the accident. Also, the HBO movie was very inaccurate so please don't bring up something you saw there, many of the things in the movie aren't even scientifically possible.
