* ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}'': The ever image-conscious Soviet Union is ''desperately'' trying to avert this in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, not allowing the town to be evacuated and putting a moratorium on all information coming in and out in an effort to keep it quiet. After radiation is detected in Sweden, the United States makes a satellite sweep of the area. Moscow drops pretenses after that, allowing the evacuation to proceed, but with the eyes of the world now on them, they try harder than ever to downplay the incident to make it seem the Soviet government has it all under control. As Comrade Gorbachev puts it, their power comes from the ''perception'' of their power.

** Only a couple hours before the accident, the astronauts are scheduled to do a live broadcast from the ''Odyssey'' to be relayed back to Earth.

This gets rather cruelly Subverted once they do arrive at Mission Control's public gallery and they find out from NASA's PR officer Henry Hurt that ''none'' of the television networks are broadcasting it live, Henry mentioning that by now the program's become so routine they've made going to the moon as exciting as a trip to Pittsburgh. Other aides in the room keep changing the television's channel to no avail -- apparently watching a gorilla in a zoo throwing around baggage was more interesting.
