Message: [QUOTE="NSP, post: 10262375, member: 107749"] The recent mini-series "Chernobyl" is apparently accurate in its portrayal of them reading the radiation level so low as the instruments they were using only went up to the (low) level that they then reported. That the needle was bending against the end-stop peg was neither here nor there... Legasov rocking up with a decent metre from the lab at his Institute that "went all the way up to eleven" (as opposed to only going up to three and a half) caused a few gobby types to go very quiet and start shuffling their feet all of a sudden. I'm given to understand that they wove in actual digitally-remastered footage from the time that the disaster was unfolding of the Mi-8s attempting to dump a boron/sand mix into the hole in the reactor house, including the one that got too close and was litterally "eaten" by the radiation, around the dramatisation footage featuring the actors (principle casting was excellent, by the by - Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgard and the eminently lickable Emily Watson, to name but a few. The Irish actor Paul Ritter did Dyatlov to a tee, it would seem. A very realistic portrayal). [/QUOTE]
