The photograph above shows a team of human liquidators as they prepare to clean the radioactive debris off the roof of the No. 4 Reactor. 

The Soviet Union sent in 600,000 humans who did everything from hosing down the street, felling trees, removing radioactive debris, and building a concrete sarcophagus around the exposed reactor. Their bravery - of course - came at a price; the white charged subatomic particles ravaged their cells and shortened their life spans. The selfless actions of the human liquidators were credited with limiting both the immediate and long-term damage from the disaster. 

There is a monument to commemorate the human liquidators outside the fire station in Chernobyl town.

On the 11 of June, 1962, three inmates escaped from Alcatraz prison. They created fake heads fashioned from soap, toothpaste, concrete dust, and toilet paper and used them as decoys to fool the guards into thinking they were still asleep in their cells.
