This episode is a page from the past but I am not sure if it won’t be a page from the future. The skepticism related to nuclear energy finds a strong foothold in this episode. You will be surprised, shocked and very uncomfortable at the end of it. Why was a nuclear warhead capable of killing million...Show More

@rmmiller364 I think some questions are whether this is actually “human error” and whether the culture created an environment where people will feel safe to admit wrongdoings. The guy acted as a human and many people will probably act in the same way by default. Kids already do that too.
