Journalism without education, that's a key tenet of Idiocracy

I love how it's called "collapse" instead of bombing.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

it was an explosives-assisted collapse

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 10 points 9 months ago

I mean, it wasn't Ukraine at the time of the Chernobyl disaster.

also known as Soviet Ukraine or just Ukraine

Due to the excellent reputation of their justice system

Actually it was The Ukraine meaning something like borderlands ( on Wikipedia ). When USSR fell and Ukraine gained its state independence, the term to describe the territory was depreciated by the state and adapted as its name.

I meant Ukraine, the country. It wasn't independent.

For example, I don't think anyone rational would pin the Chernobyl disaster on Ukraine leadership, policies, or decision making. And it was not Ukraine, the country (as in, a political entity), that had to deal with the political fallout.

I don't think anyone would pin the dam collapse on Ukrainian leadership either.

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

I didn't mean to imply that they would.

All I mean to say is that the headline doesn't strike me as as dumb as people are making it out to be.

[-] lepthesr@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Just another "gotcha". I feel the same.

I could understand what they were implying. Some people lemmy.

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 22 points 9 months ago

Uh, Chernobyl is in Ukraine. So... Chernobyl was Ukraine's Chernobyl.

it's about 7525.7143 9/11s:

usable floor space of the WTC: ~350,000 m^2

Chernobyl area: ~2634 km^2

divide Chernobyl's area by the WTC area and you get the above!

so about 7.5k 9/11s.

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

So called, because if you go there Chernobyl drop off
