Can't hear anything for the life of me

The russian alphabet looks like nonsense.

Is your guide Nikolai Fomin any relation to the Nikolai Fomin from the 1986 Disaster ?

Man the zone is so cool, it sucks there had to be such a disaster to create it. I wish I could explore it but now I think Ukraine won't be happy until the entire country is glassed.. Also the pre-evacuation "big bad communist bloc" city looks far more inviting and clean than anything I've seen here in North America since my childhood. We were all sold a false future it seems.

i started wondering how the world might be without the accident

15:16 "EXCELLENT SOUND". Really? You are a fn moron.

Nuclear everything is bad. I don’t care what people say about safe or clean energy etc because with the meltdowns that have happened around the world, it shows how dangerous it is. All it takes in a runaway meltdown beyond Chernobyl’s with current reactors and you can end mankind or severely impact food and water. It’s is not worth the risk at all. One single disaster can impact all of mankind. I have friends who work at nuclear reactor facilities and they said there is so much that goes on that is not made public and there’s been some near disasters around the world not disclosed either. There’s more they’ve told me and some they absolutely cannot talk about. This tells you all you need to know when the workers themselves express their concerns so yeah, anyone who supports or defends these things or anything nuclear is in denial.

Hi, I'm looking for a documentary about Chernobyl children that I found on CZcams about 10 years ago. It was quite a long documentary, probably more than an hour long, I don't remember much of it but I would like to see it again. There was a lady in it, probably a scientist, who talked about the accident and the effects of radiation on people, children, animals, etc. I remember the part where they went in a van to some hospital and passed by the power plant. A noise appeared on the video during this and the lady said it was due to radiation. They were all wearing white coats and respirators. That's about all I remember. If anyone has seen this document that I am describing and you have a link to it or some source, I would be very happy if you could provide it to me. Big thanks

O wow. Inside witout protection in the basement. Don't need it?😮

To this day, there still does not appear to be any graffiti on the walls. If that was here in America, the walls, windows, boards, and anything else would be covered in layers of spray paint with a few requisite richard drawings as well.

Are these pictures real ? Guys serious ? With the disabled kids ? Legs ?

So, in your first rip the guy is videoing the reactor. And you can see the radiation bombarding the film. If that doesn't say enough I don't know what does. if you know anything about radiation and film that is a sad day for that videographer

Lies .. propaganda

I can't help but notice the lack of gloves and a mask, so close to such radioactive materials with your hand is a lack of mind on the part of the one with the measuring device! You will wonder in a few years where cancer, leukemia and serious diseases in your body!! For the rest, all respect for the material, I am fascinated by Chernobyl and I will definitely go there!

Not toptonov’s mistake, it was Dyatlov. You should put a correction in your video. Worth mentioning this information was accessible before the hbo special, it’s in reports of dyatlov’s trial

I'm very surprised that i am the only one mentioning this Why did he not translate the guy he was interviewing?! It would've made it so much easier to understand his side of the story.

Why are the newscasters shown in all black & white? It was 1986, not 1956.

What gets me, they kept the other 3 reactors going for years after this happened, so they had people getting lethal doses of radiation all that time.

The HBO mini series was on point

I lived in Germany (my dad was stationed there) when this happened. Crazy times for sure!

I remember this i was 19 years old when it happend and i remember that the cloud came over my country sweden....i hope one day before all Prypjat is in ruin i can visit ..I think that in 20 years maybe 50 years there will be nothing left only forrest..so sad

I think that hospital basement was blocked off couple years back, since people were taking stuff from there as "souvenirs" (some deadly souvenirs imo)

9:34 why does this robot have a golden egg on it?

I was about 4,5 years old when the Chernobyl accident happened. I am Finnish, and I think everybody knows about the accident here. My interest towards Chernobyl and Pripyat has been there long before the series on HBO. My dream is to visit there one day, but don’t know now will that ever happen due to situation in Ukraine

There government sounds a lot like ours with the Palestine train wreck2023

I remember watching this Documentary when it was first released in 2012. Cant believe its over 10 years ago now 😲😲

I understand that this post is 10 years plus old, but with the war happening now it's nice to see. Thanks for taking the time. Would it be possible for you to go back whenever it's safe to do so. Would like to see

1:54 ...Yet

Woooow Call Of Duty was on point with that school. Anyone else notice!?

I was thinking say this happened in the United States instead of Russia I’m not gonna call that Ukraine don’t you think United States would’ve tried to cover it up just as much as the Russians did they try and failed with three Mile Island just for an example

The radiation isn't only hitting the detector...it's hitting his hands. Some people are soooo stupid...

Russia do care about their own people

In fact the true disaster was prevented. If nobody took action quickly, it would cause the whole Europe to be uninhabitable for the next 20000 years and that's not even a joke or exaggeration. Many people still don't realize this. Before i knew it i could not imagine that a nuclear reactor can be THAT dangerous. Not even comparable with any nuclear bomb.

Great work. Well done.

Kinda makes ya wonder why god himself didn’t just build nuclear reactors on earth for us before he created us here? Gee, maybe us humans know more and have better ideas than god himself….not…

Other than the soundtrack overwhelming the narrative I would say that this is an excellent amateur production on a shoestring budget. Well done Sir. 👍

Do you know how your tour guide is doing in Ukraine? Have you been able to make contact since the war began?

the music was perfect for this video

At 9:40 it is probably 20 to 30 milli sievert than micro sievert

I cant believe he kept measuring radiation with his little machine like it was nothing and knowingly receiving huge amount of radiation. Oh here is 300, here is 400!

Before I watch this, is there a properly informed explanation of the numerous ways radiation dosing and contamination are measured? Because I skipped to the end where a very unreliable looking Geiger counter/radiation alarm is being held up to items of clothing, and they're freaking out over ~100-200 microsieverts. Those numbers really need some perspective (especially when communicating to a lay audience) in relation to background levels, as well as in the context of doses received during commercial air travel and medical imaging, and so on. It's only fair - most people don't know a Sievert from a Curie from a Becquerel from a Roentgen from a rad from a rem; it's really complicated. And there are other critical fundamentals to understand like the differences between alpha, beta and gamma radiation and even what isotope half lives actually mean for people and the environment. Explaining the unique design differences of the RMBK type reactors is another critical piece of information that needs to be included in any documentation of Chernobyl - they were unique to the Soviet Union and although inherently safe by design, they weren't necessarily very "resilient to human error" (to say the least). There is just so much misinformation about nuclear technology (often linked back to Chernobyl, and Fukushima more recently) that is only serving to cost humanity some pretty big opportunities to do anything about ditching fossil fuels for good. So ... is the science at least close to correct? Or is it just the same old "disaster porn" with touch of Cold War era racial/nationalistic superiority and smugness? Many people would be surprised to learn (if they cared to know) just how close to home many sites of FAR more dangerous radioactive contamination actually are. Anyone here from California ..? Hehe ;)

Inside Chernobyl, more like 'Near Chernobyl'

The abandoned places make me cry. I can feel all the forgotten memories.

The so called elites have suppressed clean & even free energy & lefts us with these nuclear monstrosities, they have a lot to answer for. I'm sure one day these nuclear facilities will be in trouble if we were to lose power for a significant amount of time then these facilities would become a weapon as maintenance could not be maintained namely cooling & our Island would be uninhabitable (Britain)

What saddens me is how free and positive looking Pripyat was, it looked like a wonderful city despite being under a dictatorship. Gutted for the residents and all the victims of stupidity and hardline authoritarianism that made this disaster much worse than it needed to be.

In the hospital basement without a mask 😬😬😬

Great documentary but the sound is just too much. The beeping of the measuring equipment goes on and on and just kill my eardrums. Can't keep watching.

The biggest unimaginable man-made diseaster. I shocked to know that - the Chernobyl radiation was 400 times bigger than Hiroshima radiation.

Most uncounted for are pershied when did explode into a very hot bright powerful light unprotected organic explosive energy and yeah plus much will not explain to some who not understand I does want to know why he says thinks is responsible is not his or that women who keeps threatening me and her to disgusting criminal sons and I will have my day against the coward the right way one on one me and him I a jail cell because I do not like him Lusaka Natimiahk
