He scratched his head, "No, but I brought you up, didn't I?"

After my meeting, I got back on the elevator to go back down and the same operator was there.

I didn't say anything to him, but when we got to the ground floor, he said to me, "I'm sorry."

"Because you thought you were my dad?" I asked him.

He shook his head. "No, son, because I let you down."

If they were to create a fourth project. Who do you think they would cover?

The title says the majority, but for an exam, I essentially had to dismantle the USSR's lax take on the Chornobyl "incident" of 1986. I was doing some research and found a PDF of the pamphlet given to those in the area. Kate Brown, a professor at MIT, wrote a small book called "Manual for Survival," which included this little excerpt. It's free online, about 43 pages, and I highly recommend you guys check it out, but here it is:

"Dear Comrades! Since the accident at the Chernobyl power plant, there has been a detailed analysis of the radioactivity of the food and territory of your population point. The results show that living and working in your village will cause no harm to adults or children. The main portion of radioactivity has decayed. You have no reason to limit your consumption of local agricultural produce.

If villagers persisted in reading beyond the first page, they found that the confident tone trails off and pivots in contradiction:

Please follow these guidelines: Do not include in your diet berries and mushrooms gathered this year. Children should not enter the forest beyond the village. Limit fresh greens. Do not consume local meat and milk. Wash down homes regularly. Remove topsoil from the garden and bury it in specially prepared graves far from the village. Better to give up the milk cow and keep pigs instead."

This was sent to the people around the 30km exclusion zone, so Pripyat and other, smaller towns/villages.

EDIT: This was sent out 3 months AFTER the accident in Chornobyl, they covered it up to save face for that long until a Swedish Plant detected it in a drift and called them out.
