## Resource

26th April 1986 started as a normal quiet evening in the town of Pripyat, in the Soviet Union. Families settled themselves into bed, having no idea that a silent deadly poison would soon fill their city. As they closed their eyes that night they never expected to wake to a catastrophic horror. The worst nuclear disaster in the history of the world.
