[00:00:00]This is why Chernobyl still haunts us.

[00:00:02]In seconds, a city's fate changed forever. [music] April 26th, 1986, deep in the night, a safety test begins inside reactor four. Pripyat [music] sleeps, then sirens slice the silence.

[00:00:13]The test was meant to simulate a power outage to see if the reactor's turbines could keep cooling water flowing until backup generators kicked in. But the RBMK reactor was flawed, unstable [music] at low power, dangerously reactive. Human error stacked atop design flaws.

[00:00:41]This is history's most chilling warning.
