During and after a nuclear disaster vast areas may become dangerous zones, and dangerous particles reach (thanks to wind or water) remote areas. Dangerous waste in a water table is also an ordeal.
Hundreds have died due to airplanes falling onto them. See for example El AL cargo plane falling onto a residential building in the Netherlands in 1992, I believe it's the worst event but several lesser accidents have happened since then.
Oh wait. There was 9/11. More victims than Chernobyl, even taking the most pessimistic estimates.
This is false, even the industry recognizes victims from radiations and from evacuation, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...
> There was 9/11
This was intentional. Such an intentional action against a plant or a waste depot would be very, very serious. That's the reason why they are seriously guarded.
