Jesus. I have not been so horrified by something since I was in middle school. Even Schindlers List did not bother me as much as that scene. The two guys who were ordered to turn the valves to spray the water were not even as bad, because at least they thought, ok a. were already dead anyway if the core is gone, or b. we will be ok. But this guy knew he was walking into death. Absolutely awful! God I hope the true story was at least that he was not threatened to go in real life. Though I suppose he would've died anyway. I read that most of the workers and firemen died within a year. Not sure how accurate that is, but seems about right. Seems most of those who were on scene who survived were protected in some way, like firefighters who stayed in the truck etc.
