- mschuster91 3y agoFly a plane into a coal plant and nothing much (besides the death of everyone involved) will happen. Fly a plane into an NPP and you're looking at a massive contamination issue. Hell, I live in Bavaria, and to this day you have to inspect shrooms and wild game meat for radiation - and it's likely to exceed safety thresholds, even decades after Chernobyl.
