The Phone Call That Saved Millions: The Untold Hero of Chernobyl
The Phone Call That Saved Millions: The Scientist Who Refused to Hang Up The night of April 26, 1986, wasn't just a catastrophe; it was the moment the world teetered on the brink of a second, potentially far deadlier nuclear nightmare.
