Chernobyl the mini series had a scene where the fire brigade or first responders are alerted to the explosion. The conversation transcript prints out and rolls on the screen like in an ancient video terminal. This was easily one of the most memorable moments of the series. I wonder how they did that. Presumably on some old Soviet/Western computer terminal to capture the period look and feel.

The video linked is a longer version than the included tar file attachment.

I have no idea why but the tar video file plays not well with VLC. I re-encoded it with Handbrake. Should be watchable now on VLC and mpv.
