International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day in 2022

On this day in 1999, CIH (aka Chernobyl or Spacefiller) activated its destructive payload on infected systems. The virus would overwrite part of the BIOS, making vulnerable systems unbootable. The BIOS would have to be re-flashed, or the motherboard replaced, to fix this problem. https://t.co/RnqoJXv15a

On this day in 1986, an accident at Chernobyl power station released huge amounts of radioactive material into the surrounding area. Today, we remember and honour those who died, and those whose lives were affected, and raise awareness of the risks of nuclear energy. #Chernobyl https://t.co/WujqY1kGHg

@EnlightenedWest @RWApodcast On Day 1 of the invasion, I was worried. Sending troops through Belarus & Chernobyl surprised Ukraine. It seemed that Kyiv would fall in days. I would not have believed you if you had told me that the map of the conflict would look like this on Day 60. Russia is in trouble. https://t.co/TnCOMYPoVj

ON THIS DAY: In 1986, an explosion and fire at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused radioactive fallout to begin spewing into the atmosphere. The long-term death toll from radiation poisoning is believed to number in the thousands. https://t.co/LNECD7XJhP https://t.co/ldJ0olOERa
