How did those guys not instantly die?

Fuck HBO for going after pirates. You sacks of shit can stop shilling now

How dumb do you have to be to not be able to find a torrent/stream for this?

surely someone else can explain it, but I don't think radiation automatically kills you? it damages your body (from tissue to a molecular level) and it breaks down over time. a lethal dose of radiation might kill you within weeks or even days, but not instantly
Jonathan Edwards
I did and HBO sent a letter to my ISP. Fuck them

according to wiki
>The radiation levels in the worst-hit areas of the reactor building have been estimated to be 5.6 roentgens per second (R/s), equivalent to more than 20,000 roentgens per hour. A lethal dose is around 500 roentgens (~5 Gy) over 5 hours, so in some areas, unprotected workers received fatal doses in less than a minute. However, a dosimeter capable of measuring up to 1000 R/s was buried in the rubble of a collapsed part of the building, and another one failed when turned on. All remaining dosimeters had limits of 0.001 R/s and therefore read "off scale". Thus, the reactor crew could ascertain only that the radiation levels were somewhere above 0.001 R/s (3.6 R/h), while the true levels were much higher in some areas.
>Because of the inaccurate low readings, the reactor crew chief Alexander Akimov assumed that the reactor was intact. The evidence of pieces of graphite and reactor fuel lying around the building was ignored, and the readings of another dosimeter brought in by 04:30 were dismissed under the assumption that the new dosimeter must have been defective. Akimov stayed with his crew in the reactor building until morning, sending members of his crew to try to pump water into the reactor. None of them wore any protective gear.
>Most, including Akimov, died from radiation exposure within three weeks.
