On 26th April 1986, in the middle of the night, a huge explosion rocked the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, killing workers and blasting radioactive dust into the atmosphere. This was the worst nuclear accident in history, and yet the Soviet State tried to cover it up. We hear from survivors and witnesses to the first days of the unfolding catastrophe.
Days that Shocked the World explores the most iconic disasters of the last 50 years, combining eye-witness testimony with powerful archive footage, to learn how each tragedy changed both the lives of individuals and the world.
