It is scary because it's very realistic. As about the pregnant woman, the wives of the
liquidators were literally kicked out the clinics because their husbands were shining. The doctors who tried to save their lives got a deadly dose of radiation too.
This is alpha, beta and gamma penetrating every cell of your blood. A medal for the Chernobyl liquidators.
I'll repost this video here again, because it's not a movie. These are real life scenes and HBO has reproduced them very naturally. Do you remember that scene like just drop it an don't look at the reactor core?
Nobody did that at a gun point. All of them were volunteers who knew that the radioactive condemnation may cover the whole Europe and kill their own families.
