Sorry but the three people who went and sacrificed themselves to stop a steam explosion didn’t die in there, 2 of the 3 are still alive today. also, even when it happened they didn’t send them down to stop a big explosion, rather, they did it so radioactive steam from the water evaporating won’t contaminate the air
