Facts vs. Fiction


I know that this is based on true events but I wonder how much of this has been changed for dramatic suspense. In the second episode a helicopter crashes after flying over the core, I don't think that actually happened in real life or we would have heard about it.

Actually it did happen and we did hear about it though it was not the first drop so was chronologically moved forward to work with the needs of a TV series. In fact video of the accident is available

That's weird. Stuff I've read about Chernobyl never mentions that.

Nice information thank you

Not to knock the OP,
But sure now, if it happened we would have heard about it,
cause you know, Russia's always been so up front and transparent about things.....
