What struck me in the first episode was the denial that anything bad had happened even when people were telling the senior person in the control room what they had seen and right up until he was puking up he was still in denial even though he had seen parts of the reactor spread out below the window.
I suppose the shock of it all would do that to an extent, but it sent people to their deaths.
The other was the plant manager in the fall out bunker who also was trying to pass the buck and then sending the guy who was telling him how it actually was up onto the roof to look down on the open burning reactor, I think that would have been a case of after you mate. That and the lack of basics like medicines, protective gear and geiger counters.
