Alexey had applied for transfer to another city called Kiev and on his transfer day there was an explosion at the Nuclear plant. This explosion was captured by Olga’s son on his camera and suffered health issues later because of inhalation of radioactive chemicals during the explosion. Quite a few firefighters from all the nearby firestations reach the plant site to stop fire, but their health deteriorates more time they spent near the reactor.
