@ 16:32 he says that the scientists feared such a big reactor could melt through the containment if the flow of water were ever interrupted, etc etc...and in theory there would be nothing to stop it from emerging on the opposite side of the world. Well, I don't mean to be nit-picky lol...but there would be; even if it melted thru the containment, thru the floor, the Earth's crust, and the mantle & core, etc etc, it would stop at the center because to go any further would be to go against gravity
