things i accidentally learned: my boss's father-in-law SERVED ON THE K-19 SUBMARINE. you know, THIS K-19. yes, he was there when the nuclear reactor cooling system broke down in 1961. yes, he survived and they even had another son. AAAAAA
k-19 is a memorial now but sadly, it's in the middle of nowhere (WHY???) and you can't get there without a car
however, k-14, an earlier model, is a memorial in obninsk (where the nuclear reactors were developed), and that's a much easier journey. very impressive (a submarine??? surfacing in the middle of a town??) highly recommended
