The Kind of Anniversary You Don't Want

"There is no such thing as someone else's sorrow."
- Ukrainian proverb

I forgot that today is the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident. My school did some kind of short memorial during one of the 20 minute breaks between classes, and I think an art competition was held so the winners were announced.

Here are two really good New York Times articles about the anniversary, and if you haven't looked at the photos Gerd Ludwig took, you should.
