It was liquid graphite that was used as a coolant. The disaster happened because they were testing the limits of system and had shut down safety restraints. Unfortunately, they were there for a reason.That's not how it happened, it was because of bad design choices, enough water didn't get in to cool the radiation and...BOOMVlane said:Actually it was kinda like that. There were two buttons. They knew that button 1 does it right and button 2 does it wrong. Some guy pressed button 1 but for some reason the button 2 scenario happened.ElephantGuts said:I don't think it went down quite like that, it was a bit more complex. That's more like what you would see in a Polish Chernobyl. Sorry.sirdanrhodes said:*At Chernobyl:
"I know, let's see what this button do"*BOOM*

Anyway, I was being facetious. Of course human rights haven't failed, I hope that they are developing, and they have come a long way. However, by and large human rights have largely failed to become enforced or even acknowledged within many parts of the world. Even in the developed world these rights are often ignored or removed at the whim of so called governments.
Human Rights merely apply when convenient. Ironically the developed countries which do manage to uphold some of these rights for their own citizens are often directly or indirectly involved in removing these rights from foreign citizens.
For example, the arms trade. The arms trade is supported and often directed by government. It is perpetuated by many developed countries selling arms to militarist states, totalitarian states and other such questionable governments who use the equipment to either oppress or wage war. Wars and oppression create many negative situations; lack of governance, lack of social security, lack of policing, wasting of resources etc. All of which result in some of the poorest and most at risk people being denied the most basic human rights.
So when I say they have failed, I don't mean that's it game over. I'm pointing out that they need to go further in many societies, religions and cultures.

Right well thats me put in my place lol. Maybe next time try elaborating on your ideas and you won't get called a cynical bastard.
