TRAGIC ANNIVERSARY
Today is the 40th anniversary of the greatest technological disaster of the 20th century - the explosion at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This catastrophe could have been much worse had it not been for the sacrifice of the first responders.
At 1:23 a.m., in 1986, two explosions destroyed the fourth power unit of the station. The reactor was left exposed, and flames, smoke, and radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere.
