@Christopher Cole it's funny that happens alot. One of life's little giggles.
I think I’m a dad now too......
A dollar bill blew into the sand at the lake, and my friend mentioned it. I said “So it’s a.... sand dollar?” And then laughed hysterically for like five minutes
Can someone please explain the joke?
@Christopher Cole same
"What can we poison him with?"
"Sir, we have plenty of radioactive material left over from Cherynobl."
"Excellent."
Well rip
Polonium, cesium, uranium and plutonium are four different elements altogether.
@@akshaygowrishankar7440 it's also Alpha radiation that is far more destructive (if in direct contact, especially if its inside your body) than the gamma radiation from chernobyl
@@andreeam.9835 nice I learned something new today, thank you :) I was just trying to suggest that the poison used on Litvinenko was different than the material at Chernobyl.
@@akshaygowrishankar7440 strange, wholesome internet content. Must screenshot this ❤️
This is especially horrifying by virtue of the fact that this is a modern story. This is now-existing corruption in our world, not a quirky spooky story from the past.
It's scarier living in the UK. With the nerve agent poisoning earlier this year we all had theories (a popular one was that the US did it yo start WW3).
yea, but this is Russia we're talking about. I think everyone in the West knows that their government is fucked up.
Just commenting to see how the Trump conversation continues (if it does). Funny to see Trump supporters still existing lmao
Rohan too low unemployment isn’t always a good thing. Take any economics class and you’ll see why. Anyone who still thinks Trump is good for this country is delusional tbh. The whole world hates the US and WW3 is pretty much inevitable. How can you support a man that inhumanely locks away innocent people?
Allison Hunter thank you
Title: "The COVERT poisoning..."
Theory 1: "They left traces in the restaurant, the airplane, an exotic nightclub, and over 700 people had to be tested"
700peple had to be tested
Covert just means 'not openly acknowledged or explained' not 'super dooooper stealthy'. So, yeah, its covert
Title: the covert poisoning... Theory 1: they left trace's in the restaurant, the airplane, an exotic nightclub, and over 700 people had to be tested
Taylor Anderson wait why are you repeat ing EVER Y COMMENT IN THE REPLIES R U AN ALIEN
@@fiya-2335 I'm pretty sure it's a bot that just somewhat mangles the original comment and says it again
For anyone watching this now, there has recently been an update in the case: A European rights court have now found Russia officially responsible for this assassination. Although Russia won't take responsibility (obviously), this basically means the case is solved.
thanks for updating!
huh
I was going to like your comment but it’s at 666 so I couldn’t
Why did we need this update, all they did was say the commies did it lol
@@Stfu9785 well it was quite big news at the time if it bothers you then don't say anything
I think that for one episode they should cover a case that was solved. Ryan could talk about the case and then present the theories, then at the end Shane would say which theory he thought was true and Ryan would tell him if he guessed right or not.
idk just an idea
This needs more attention lol
GENIUS.
But then it wouldn't be BuzzFeed Unsolved. Would it?
PRERNA It wouldn’t be unsolved but it might be a nice one-off episode or potentially its own miniseries :)
BuzzFeed: Solved
As soon as they mentioned Putin, I realized this is actually “solved”.
Kiki Bee for real tho
As soon as they mentioned Putin, I realized this is actually solved.

Hi, My Name Is Mark. How Are You Today?
Mark Mathis oh hi Mark
Officials: "President Putin, did you have this guy killed?"
Putin: "No."
Officials: "Ok, thanks. Couldn't have been you, then."
Watching this again after Alexei Navalny, a Putin critic, was poisoned with a nerve agent.
same
Then they arrested him
@@weedwhacker287 Anybody could've seen that coming from a mile away, I have no idea why he went back to Russia so soon. It's a shame. Russia is nothing but a dictatorship.
The whole original poisoning was a huge Putin flex! This was a purposeful message. And the poisonings continue without any repercussions. A huge public global warning that you are never beyond their reach if you threaten them.
And they probably did it again, he died about two weeks ago as of me writing this
Ryan saying he would hate to be in isolation makes me feel so sorry for him right now! I hope the boys are both stocked up on popcorn
i mean... atleast he's not alone, judging from the watcher weekly videos and the watcher podcasts, i'm fairly certain he's quarantining with his girlfriend.
2020 be like "Isolation you say? ☺️"
hahahaHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH god im so sick of people denying covid i would like for this to end
I was so surprised when I saw that this comment was posted 8 months ago. Like, it’s almost been an entire year.

Off topic, but @kimberly Elliott, girl you are SOOO pretty!!! 💛💜💛💜

You also watched the video,cool
Before his death, Litvinenko said: "You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world, Mr. Putin, will reverberate in your ears for the rest of your life."
This seems to be coming true. What happened to him was horrible, but this gives a little hope.
This, uh... this feels like more of a "Buzzfeed Quite Easily Solved"
„Buzzfeed For Legal Reasons Unsolved“
I know this is serious, but I lost it at Ryan going “He claimed that MI6 had framed him... Quote: I was framed”
me writing my english papers
Quote from man claiming to be framed:
“They framed me”
As soon as they mentioned Putin, I realized this is actually “solved”.
😭😭
@@joshualee5027 how are u gonna steal a comment that’s one of the top and put it into a reply
Shane: “Panic house, invite your friends over and watch movies and eat popcorn.” . Ryan: “I wouldn’t wanna do that” 2020 and the CoronaVirus: “Too bad”
N Marples crazy thing is on a recent watcher vid they were talking abt eating virtual popcorn bc they couldn’t invite friends over
I was just thinking that lol
Lol, I was literally about to write that 😂😂😂
2:53 did not age well
Came here to say this lmao
I work in medical imaging and I remember learning about this case in school. Po-210 emits alpha radiation (essentially a helium atom), which really doesn't need the kind of shielding you'd think it does. In fact, Po-210 in particular can't penetrate skin from the outside. It wouldn't have set off any detectors because a plastic vial would be enough to shield it. Once ingested, the body itself serves as adequate shielding (which is probably why the doctors didn't catch it until right before he died) while causing massive internal damage to soft tissues and wiping out white blood cells. It's not a pleasant way to go.
Alpha radiation also can't travel further than a few centremetres, meaning that only a specific small area would be intensely radiated. It's actually in smoke detectors lol.
Good to know.
@@Reduskxso smoke detectors can poison as well as save lives... the world we live in
@@handsoap3346one thing my physics class did teach me was to never eat a smoke detector👍👍
@@handsoap3346you'll be fine unless you build a nuclear reactor out of them in a backyard, like an american boyscout did.
If the same guy who invaded a country and threatened nuclear war is the same guy accused of murdering someone critical of him, the case...is...closed.
Yeah I would say it is 1000% closed 😂🙄
That is propaganda created by the West, but he did kill Alexander.
@@melisentiapheiffer3034 So it's "western propaganda" that he invaded Ukraine and threatened nuclear warheads? I didn't know Putin himself creates western propaganda.

I love how Shane talked about hiding in a panic room and saying he'll he fine and ryan is like no I can't do that but with the social distancing rn in the recent postmortem Ryan was like I'm thriving and Shane looking like he's gone crazy
"tantalizing" describes something desirable that's just out of reach, named for Tantalus in greek mythology
The myth where Tantalus could see food and water but cannot reach it to eat or drink? I haven't read Greek mythology explicitly but I have read the Percy Jackson series lol thanks for making me remember it. Have a great day!
so Shane was closer to its meaning than Ryan was

To be fair Shane tries to kill Ryan with fear A LOT.
Ryan: "You don't think that the British government would endanger their own citizens like that."
British Prime Minister on Covid: "Let the bodies pile up."
“Let’s all have a party at number ten as everyone else is sacrificed for the economy huzzah”
Agreed, but I don’t think we’ve ever had a government quite like this one.
Pathetic comparison. You’re seriously comparing a ʟᴇɢɪᴛ serial killer with someone you don’t agree with politically being irresponsible?

I have trouble imagining Putin believing in ghosts.
Realistically Vladimir Putin is probably a #shaniac but I really want him to be a #boogara.
Oh definitely Shaniac. No ghost can scare Putin but in fact Putin scares ghosts.
The most impressive part of this video is the fact that Ryan correctly pronounced all the Russian names

already solved, it was nosferatu all along
FLUXX840 It was Nosferatu you dummy!
That would be an awesome April fools video
Nosferatu is a cover-up
Honestly I would be so spooked
7:46 I'm studying Chemistry, and even though I'm an undergraduate, I can say that it would definetly not glow. However, it may have tasted metalic or smeeled odd, maybe even the tea would look to be very hot/steamy, more then a usual cup of tea; like a kettle that blows out alot of steam.
It’s actually been said that he noticed the bitter taste of the tea once the two men had left - at that point it was too late anyway. Even if he’d known what he’d taken, his death was inevitable from that point. The poor guy, death by radiation poisoning is slow and excruciating
How have buzzfeed unsolved not done one on Madeline Macanne .... probably one of the biggest unsolved cases of a missing child in history
Ikr
Always wondered that!
Her parents accidentally drugged her to death and covered it up
Harry Fitz I believe the parents actually sue whoever disagrees with their opinions (which just screams guilty even more) and considering Buzzfeed unsolved’s large following Shane and Ryan they are bound to face legal issues. Which sucks
But then again if you can leave your kids in a foreign country, you’re already a naive person, so going after people who do not believe you i bet is routine for them
Her parents killed her. There we go, solved

For some reason the idea of the spies calling the restaurant to ask the cook for help is hilarious to me. "Hello, I would like you to put this expensive poison in some tea." ... "Hello?" ... "Hellooo?"
Kinda funny looking back that they said "the UK govt wouldn't do that, all they have is the people" when the govt literally refused to give free school meals to children a week ago :/
"I'd like to live...
..*_forever._*"
Need to clear up some stuff on radiation poisoning around 09:12-- Polonium 210 is a radioisotope that undergoes alpha decay. Alpha particles themselves are relatively harmless because they're physically massive and don't travel well through dense material; they slow down (use up their energy) before they can really go anywhere. In that way, you can hold Polonium 210 in your hand because your skin is thick enough to stop alpha particles (and a handshake would be no issue for the same reason). Alpha radiation becomes problematic when ingested because--similarly to how it can't pass skin from the outside--it can't leave the inside of the body once consumed. It's a high energy particle, so all that energy is now on the inside, ripping electrons from its environment (in this case, the cells of the body).
The particle has a charge, in the case of alpha radiation, it's positive (specifically the nucleus of a helium atom). Positive attracts negative, and because alpha particles are of unbalanced positive charge, they rapidly combine (by pulling from other atoms) with negative charges to create helium. The atoms the alpha particle pulls electrons from lose two electrons to balance the charge; for organic systems this causes significant damage.
Lol thanks for the science lesson on radiation poisoning
U know well u got that from the internet or video or.. something
LiL JunkBear2020 I’m a nuclear engineer actually, though I did consult the Internet at some point over the four years, I’m sure. 😂
HashtagCarlyBlaugher I admire you and your genius so much right now 😋😋😋
I legitimately thought when clicking on this video , “Russia is going to kill them for doing this video.” Then Shane says the same thing. Stay safe my friends.
Erin Amy Russia would have had to kill all those that made a TV movie or used it in their tv shows.
Ryan doesn’t like the idea of isolation.
*Nervously chuckles in quarantine.*
Fat chuck
In my radiochemistry class, we had a homework assignment which involved comparing the radiation dose he had absorbed with the background dose experienced by the average person and the deadly dose. It is astonishing.
Also note how heavy metal toxicity wasn’t mentioned. I’d hazard a guess that he would not be alive even if we took the damaging effects of that high a dose of radiation out of the equation.
For Postmortem (or just anyone that might read this comment): there's different kinds of radiation, Polonium is specifically an alpha radioactive particle and has limited penetrative capabilities, it can only go as far as a piece of paper. However, when ingested, its metabolism by the body leads to the irradiation of all cells in it's path and that is what leads to illness.
Therefore, it is not at all surprising that all those 700+ people exposed to polonium did not fall ill as they did not ingest it, they were protected by their clothes basically stopping the radioactive particles from entering their bodies
Fun Fact: 1g of Polonium is enough to kill 50 million people and injure 50 million more but only when ingested
Lol I also just mentioned this! :D Just finished my degree on it actually.
Interesting! What about cuts? Like you get some in a paper cut. Could that injure you? Science is fascinating :D
I love how you said "fun fact"! LOL
An interesting question (I'm not a health physicist, so take my words with a grain of salt). I'd say unless it's a very very deep cut, you still have many (relatively) thick layers of skin in the way that would prohibit the radiation from an alpha particle to penetrate the body.
Oh I hope this makes it to Postmortem!!!!

Duh of course he is
Watching this during COVID
Ryan: I’d rather kill myself than live in isolation

I honestly can't believe Lugovoy and Kovtun are still at large seriously they should be on watch list in the world with a massive bounty on their heads
I live and Russia and I confirm it was Putin.
That's a joke, FSB, please, don't arrest me
nonbinary royalty they won’t, they’ll just kill you
@Florides BB you clearly don't know Russia lmao

Arrest is the last thing you have to worry about Because they were arrest you they would kill you
See you @ the gulag.
I lived right near where Litvinenko lived during his poisoning. I was 7 at the time, and my dad picked me up from school, but we came across multiple TV vans, police, people in hazmat suits and even a helicopter on our way home. We switched on the TV and saw my dad’s car on the screen and we soon figured out it was a spy poisoning. The house was blocked off by a tent and then something else for the next 4 years, with a note from the court beside the door ordering prohibition on trespassing the radioactive house. Since then it was only occupied for a year or two, but ended up empty most of the time. Spooky.

Oh god, coincidentally he died on my birthday... November 23rd... 2006...

Lugovoy getting the medal proves he killed Litvinienko.
3:18 Wonder how Ryan’s doing during quarantine...
IF SHANE AND RYAN DONT COME OUT WITH ANOTHER UNSOLVED EPISODE NEXT WEEK BLAME THE KGB
well the videos are all pre-recorded, they have the entire season already.
DADWC last season then 😂
It is FSB now. But for real, Russian citizens are the only one that suffer from Russian government. So no worries for Shane and Ryan.
Technically it’s the FSB, though the KGB technically exists in Belarus so you’re not 100% wrong. They’re a strong ally of Russia so they could, in theory, kill them because Russia could suggest they do that. That is of course, if Russia did poising Litvinenko. Poor guy either way. What a nasty way to go.
FOR THE POSTMORTEM: Will you guys ever let shane present a unsolved case? I feel like he would have a weird one
like the ppl in France who danced till they died
Let’s get Shane to host the entire episode it would be amazing
Yas
JoAl Tralko thats what I was thinking
Genius
3:46 interesting thing - Politkovskaya was poisoned with tea on the airplane, investigation of this event wasn’t successful and she speculated about the “poisoning department” of fsb. she was right all along, judging by navalny’s investigation of his own poisoning
also lugovoy is a deputy of our state duma since 2007
Aww hell.... When Shane said "I'd like to live ....' and trailed off, it made me sad for some reason. This Corona s@@ is making me a mess.
"You've never wanted to just see... The universe just..."
"... Implode?"
"Yeah..."

It was Putin!

Hm seems about right
my usual routine for every video of theirs haahaha always on the #lookout
“Oozelong tea” that’s a good one, Shane. Good job. 😂
I loved how he laughed over his own joke, I do that too so glad I am not the only one. In his defense Oozelong tea is pretty funny.
As an Asian that drinks oolong frequently, I loved it lol
Dont encourage him
3:15 really hits different in summer 2020
"Is that living?" Looks around in 2020. I sure hope it is, Ryan.
talking about russia at this point in time makes it extra chilling
o m I agree, especially with the political climate in the US (idk if you’re american, don’t want to assume). I just hope the spooky bois don’t end up on Russia’s radar
jess DID U JUST ASSUME HIS/HERS NATIONALITY
@@heytherejay04 no worries, im american! and yeah, same ☹
g h but u just assumed they have a binary gender🤔🤔
THERE ARE ONLY 2 GENDERS
This it the most solved “Unsolved” ever
Watching this now has an eerie feeling
Taking about the safe house hits different now
It would be crazy that this happened just 12 years ago if a Russian poisoning hadn’t JUST happened again earlier this year. It’s like a bloody film.
That's what I thought this video was going to be about. I was just like "isnt this still a bit controversial to make this kind of video on?"
I thought it was the one that recently happened and was just kinda like "Why?"

What does this say?
DrShocktopus So far as I can tell, your statement is not true at all, and in fact, during the investigation, the specific isotope used to kill him was traced back to a Russian reactor by physicist Norman Dombey. Can you provide links to back up your assertion?
"Everyone dies. You, maybe, sooner than other."
Okay Ryan's being creepy.
"I'd like to live... forever...."
Okay SHANE'S being creepy.
3:05
Past Ryan, do I have some bad news for you.
‘If I had to forced to live in this fortress of solotitude’
Oh the irony.
*21 minute video uploaded 3 minutes ago*
People: “Man great vid!!”
Potato Alfredo LMFAOOOOO
Potato Alfredo lol pretty true
Potato Alfredo sometimes it says that and then turns out it wasosted 30 minutes ago
Potato Alfredo traitor to mother Russia.
Wait so was the cook actually contacted to put poison in the food and the cook was like "yeah no, can't do that," but didn't bother to report this to the police or to warn Litvenenko he was going to get poisoned??
Les Coronado probably because he feared for his life and the lives of his loved ones.
The cook was not a fool. He knew that he and all his family would be killed
They're friends and he was loyal to the Russian government, I guess.
It's rare that I see a case that I actually knew before on Unsolved that isn't already internationally famous. This one's still fresh in collective British memory in a way that I suspect some of the other cases they've covered are in the US.
The best part of the video
Shane: because they were given it by-
Ryan: P-Putin
Shane : shhh
And then Ryan goes on to explain to Putin how killing him is of no use... And Putin if u reading this, don't kill the Bois, they r harmless, trust me...
you would think that the chef might try to tip the guy off though? like "uh hey, those two shady guys just tried to pay me to poison you, watch out bro"????
Genevieve Barnes then he puts himself at risk to get hurt/killed by them
They would’ve killed the chef if he snitched
They said the chef wasn't there.
Snitches get stitches...or just oozelong tea
tessa marie oozelong tea 😂😂
Why did these guys expect to find a chef that would poison food? Did they just flip through the yellow pages calling every restaurant in town trying to find a murderous chef??? #boogaraguitara #longlivethehotdaga
Allie Labrecque and why did they let the chef go? He could have told someone about what he was asked
Great questions...
It is likely that this was no ordinary chef and I'm pretty sure the FSB would have been able to contact a local (russian) chef and kindly ask him to help out with an order, possibly an order by the President.
Most likely this person was someone who was smart enough to not involve himself in this matter and who knew not to speak about his orders given by the russians because if he did...well, he would have gotten burned.
2:54 Hey Ryan, are you still living while sitting around, eating popcorn at home? 3:09 so do you feel like dying now that you're in quarentine?
The conversation about staying in your house forever without being able to see people has not aged well
Ideas for next episodes:
The Beaumont children in Australia
Flight MH370
Madeline McCann
Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders
Jemify Digest yes yes yes
And do one on Caylee Anthony disappearance and murder!
Jemify Digest Maddie McGann!!!!!!!! So ready
Destiny Marie in the 1970s three young Girl Scouts were murdered in Oklahoma. Hope that helps 🙂
odd ode 👏👏
Best part of Friday tbh

It's 6:29 am here at Philippines :(
ashlen traitor to mother Russia.
Nathalie Noveno omg!!! have a good day, then :-D
The part of living in a house all alone where they talk about living in solitude hits DIFFERENT in 2020
Yeah,We definitely needed another one of these comments
@@ghosttoast8610 Yeah man 100% you get it
I'm just going to say March 2022 was not a great time to watch this.
