NEW: 12-year old Colorado student smirks after getting kicked out of class for wearing the ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag on his backpack, teacher falsely claims the flag is linked to slavery. This kid knows more about history than the teacher 😂 “So they're the reason that they do not want the flag is due to its origins with slavery and slave trade. That is what was, um, that's the reasoning behind them.” FACT CHECK: The Gadsden flag originated from the American Revolution when the U.S. fought for their independence from Great Britain. It is now a symbol for standing up against authoritarian rule… kinda like this woman.

Mike Breen admits that losing his "dream partners" has left him stunned “It’s sad because we really thought we had something special and that’s going to be the thought going forward is that we were able to do it a lot longer than anybody ever did.

This is the first image captured of Chernobyl, taken 14 hours after the explosion on April 26, 1986. The photo was snapped from a helicopter assessing radiation levels over the disaster area. The image is grainy due to the intense radiation in the air, which began damaging the camera film as soon as it was exposed. Igor Kostin, the photographer, found that the radiation affected his camera's motors after about 20 photos. When he processed his films, only the image above was usable. All other photos, affected by high radiation levels, came out completely black. Kostin's visit to Chernobyl was not legal or approved by the authorities. The incident's news was largely hidden. However, Kostin was later given permission to photograph the disaster site, the evacuation of residents in Pripyat, and the 30 km zone around the power plant. His images helped reveal the catastrophe to the world. Despite his closeness to the site, Kostin did not receive deadly amounts of radiation. He died in a car crash in 2015 when he was 78.
