CORRECTION: The visualization of the phone call (seen at 0:27) is was created by Andriy Pryymachenko, it is not actual footage from Chernobyl.
It appears HBO recreated the graphic for the show, Andriy says, without permission. More info: / 1137766607038664704

Those soviet cameras had better quality than some smart phones nowdays
Those miners, divers, firefighters etc. are real life heroes...
That sound of radiation meter through out the Series is enough to equal 100 thriller suspense horror movies
My uncle is one of those people who was cleaning the roof. He told that they werent told how dangerous it was. Now he is one of few people from that crew that are still alive.
My grandfather was one of the people cleaning the rooftop of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor...
everybody gangsta till the control rods start jumping up and down
Great show. I lived in Kiev when Chernobyl happened. Kiev is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) away. I was only 13 at the time. They didn't tell us about Chernobyl on April 26th. On May 1st there was a parade in Kiev and still we had no idea. Then finally they decided to let us know but they downplayed the whole thing and people were not aware about how dangerous it was. God knows how much radiation we got. We moved to US in 1990. My mother had a thyroid cancer but she is still alive. I was watching this show knowing that my whole family was only 62 miles away from this hell. The interesting fact was that we found out about Chernobyl from my mother's sister who lives in US. She called my mother and told her about the disaster.
From what I've heard, one thing HBO portrayed incorrectly was the sheer incompetence of Soviet medics, while in reality all of them were trained to deal with radiation poisoning. There were special radiology brigades in local hospitals.
It’s freaky to think that picking up just a tiny stone of graphite for even a second, you’d be dead within a week.

Man I had no idea there’s actual footage of that helicopter falling apart. This whole series is so haunting
I've been to the Ukraine in the 90's, working as an service engineer of CT scanners in hospitals.
The scene with the three volunteers going into the reactor basement, wading through the water with just the sound of the dosimeters going off the scale, with no dialogue, just sheer panic, is one of the most humbling, aniexty inducing and inspiring scenes I have seen. I felt so many emotions I needed a day or two just to process it. Masterful film making.
after watching this miniseries I think cleaning any room now looks easy.
Seeing how mundane that roof clearing was at the start is truly terrifying. It scares me that radiation is invisible so you could be walking to a death sentence and not even know it.
Hi, I was there. I was a kid at the time.
I was surprised to see the real footage of the helicopter falling apart in the air. I though they did that to make the series more dramatic and interesting
"Don't let them suffer."
This is one of the beste mini series ever created. Period.
it's my country , it's my pain, it's my unhealed wound. I was 6 when it happened, but I remember everything. I was live in Kiev and was on May 27 at the children's playground with my friend. It was beautiful warm morning. I remember the green juicy grass and the smell of cherry blossoms.
