This piece was inspired by a historical event that occurred in Chernobyl. A nuclear power plant melt down on April the 26th, 1986. At 1:23 am, the concatenation of the events in the core went out of control because mistakes were made by the workers at the compound. The concrete lid that covered the reactor was blown off by a handful of explosions which released a vast amount of radiation. This piece has the purpose to reflect on our past historical mistakes highlighting the concerns and power we hold in the modern day. Highly exaggerated, this could happen.
