This was absolutely terrifying. The arrogance of the leadership was truly infuriating. I have a question, what was that spotlight effect emitted from the plant? Is that the result of pure radiation?

Late to the party, but this is the perfect dramatisation of why communism is never a good idea. Not in the slightest. I come from a previously communist country and there are still people who thing it was better before. Makes me just hate them more after watching this episode.
