This was common for him at the time, Denick said, and he thought nothing of it. At the time a college student, now a Web designer, Denick's brush with the virus began when his computer crashed while he was playing a 3D game. resident who got burned by Chernobyl was Thom Denick. During the virus' most famous outbreak, in 1999, China sustained more than $291 million in damage and Korea lost $300 million.Īlthough Chernobyl did not cause as much damage in the United States as it did internationally in 1999, one U.S.
