 In the transcript, there's two words that might be both italic and bold:  First, when Ponytail says "30 years ago, we banged some rocks together too hard.", I think "too" is italic and bold, and when she says "Yeah, we messed up real bad.", I think the "real" is also italic and bold. If this is the case, I don't know how to apply both bold and italic to text in wiki markup! Can anyone help?

	Well, there's a really short and simple explanation: "The reactor was a shit design." :P The exact circumstances aren't even that important, since it could just as easily have gone wrong in a variety of different ways. (To quote a 1993 report from a Soviet committee, translated by IAEA, "''The Commission considers that the negative properties of this type of reactor are likely to predetermine the inevitability of emergency situations.''")

		+	: It '''was''' a shitty design - but operational errors were crucial to the disaster. There are many big machines and installations that are very dangerous if put outside of their normal operating envelopes, and designing them to be failsafe in face of operational blunders is often very hard. Airliners stall, power turbines enter resonant states, boilers bust etc. - when operated incompetently. -- [[User:Malgond\|Malgond]] ([[User talk:Malgond\|talk]]) 18:29, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

		+	The explanation of the title text mentions unmuting a sound system, but initiating an emergency shutdown is more like '''muting''' a sound system. That would make the analogy more precise—muting a sound system often causes a crack sound, proportional to the set volume, Turning up the volume causes offsets somewhere in the system. At switching off, these offsets rapidly go away, causing a sound. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.89.31\|162.158.89.31]] 14:26, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
