Lots of other insights.
One thing they keep bringing up is that why they didn't believe anyone who said it had exploded is because they didnt think it was even possible.
They had made it up in their minds it was something else and stuck to it. (Like Sau...some on this board about Hill)
The line "this has never happened on the planet before " is exactly what they were up against.

That attitude helped in the Japan nuclear disaster. Lots of stuff happened that wasn't supposed to happen.This isn't possible? Remember Chernobyl. Okay, maybe its true. Helped with a faster response. Well it also happened in a Democracy that cared about its citizens more than bad publicity.
