Chernobyl

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the world's worst ever nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. I think today is a day of remembrance for the people that it left scarred, many children with thyroid cancer and the ignorance that made this disaster so much worse.

There's been lots of coverage on this throughout the media and the BBC do an excellent round-up.

The accident happened in the year of my birth, 1986 which I suppose means nothing but I could very easily have been born under the radioactive cloud and I feel for the people that's lives have been ruined by the problems that a nuclear disaster bring with it.
