Just been watching the Hungarian news and a lot of memorial services in the east of Hungary among the ex-pat Ukraine community. Terribly sad :(

I saw a documentary several years ago about Chernobyl.  The helecopter pilots were true heros.  The knew their overflights to dump concrete into the broken reactor would kill them.  But they did anyway because they knew that was what had to be done.

Well, I think they're all heroes.  They all knew what they were doing meant certain death, but they did what had to be done.
