[QUOTE="Silverstrike, post: 16207963, member: 4781"] The ones I had the up most respect for was the sand bomber helo pilots. Their job was to just hover above the boiling reactor and dump sand on top of it so as to cover it up until the crew that built the original concrete sarcophagus could be brought in and begin work. The firswt thing they did was dig a tunnel underneath it and pour a concrete base so as to prevent it from borrowing deeper into the ground. Then to entomb it in concrete. But the sand bomber jobs was much worse, you basically had water fighting buckets filled with sand and had to hover above until it was out then move back to the filling area and rinse and repeat. One crew done an 18 hour shift and I think 100 or 120 flights in that time frame, but the bad thing was none of the cargo helos had any lead protection so you was totally exposed and being fried to death by the radiation. But if they didn't do this it is said that over a 600 mile dead zone would of been created around the plant where nothing would grow for 45,000 years. instead it was pretty much contained just around Chernobyl. yes all those helicopters in that picture of mine people died in them.
