It is a story of deception and cover-up on a grand scale. The true legacy of the disaster can be seen on the children's wards of hospitals. Total hair loss is one of the more visible signs. Sadly for the children, the number of cancer diagnoses is growing alarmingly. We learn that thousands of men from all over the Soviet Union were dragged from the streets and drafted for the clean-up operation. Those working in the area of highest radioactivity received, in a single 90-second-shift, the maximum dosage of radiation allotted for a whole lifetime. It is believed that half of these men have died. Ordinary people were placed in danger through lack of information, while officials quickly evacuated their own families. It is estimated that 280,000 people worldwide will contract cancer because of the disaster
