There were safety warnings you cant turn them off i should know seeing as i work at sellafield and they werent using "residual spin down" they had backup diesel generators which kick in after 45-50 seconds but were seeing if thy could keep the power level consistent in between that time like i said it was a conspiracy why do you think they turned down iodide tabs the americans offered them? And left it so late to evac pripyat? Theres plenty of info out there just look for it and read it....
Who ever was filming this video must have died shortly afterwords, they were directly exposed to the core's radiation. Our eyes work when light comes off an object into them, so if you are seeing the light, you are also being exposed directly to radiation.
It was a conspiracy the russians wanted to test their capabilities for nuclear evacuation why do you think it was built so poorly and why the techniian carried on regardless of safety warnings?
@30006714 It was not safety warnings, they actually disabled all of the safety features. The complex didnt run off of its own nuclear power, it still ran off of power lines. They were trying to see if they could use the residual turbine "spin-down" to power the plant incase the power went out. However, in order to do this, they had to disable the automatic control rod drop when the power goes out.
B4 no one really cared bout power plants then an enployee didn't do his job and exploded the nuclear plant and now ever since then people have been more careful of power and nuclear and energy plants if that guy didn't mess up this wouldn't of happened and Chernobyl us getting korinteend for the next 200 years!!!!!

@5150gamer i think from documentries iv seen most of helicopter pilots died aswell as one of the techiques used to reduce the radioactive fallout was to hover above the rector and throw sand, cement etc on the top of it. Watched k19 the widow maker the other day alot of poor guys died unfortunatley in that accident aswell
is that the molen glowing reactor you can see!?!?! If im not mistaken I read somewhere that one of the first planes to go over it and photograph it recieved so much radiation that all the men aboard fell ill shortly after landing and died the next day. Illinois has the most nuclear plants then anyother state and things like this make me nervous to live there. But the progression twords green energy is moving fast so that is good atleast. We need to convert faster though
@Duncan7599 From what I know, they didn't forget to do anything, they were testing the safety of the reactor by cutting off coolant to it or something, and obviously it didn't go over too well.

And you should be giving that attention to those who lost their lives in Chernobyl.

@HeffernanProductions they all died in next 2-3 days cuz at that moment when the shit blowed up and they came some hours later there was so much radiation they just died very very fast!!! they payed with their lives for thoes pictures!
The man in the chopper: "What you see is a plant #2 chimney. To the right is a control center of the power unit #4. Turn it on! Higher! There! Hold it steady there! Keep it where the smoke rises! Where the smoke is! Keep it there! Hold it like this." Voice behind the camera: "What you see is a very rare footage. These red-hot spots is a graphite stacking. Its high temperature caused a powerfull updarft that carried radioctive particles from the well of the reactor."
That plume look familiar? anybody? X 4 in Japan.... and that scream of ionization events at the end on the geiger... wow... sounds just like the crickets and frogs in my backyard.
Being ignorant is an American trait.....last time I was over the pond I lost count of how many times I was asked if I knew the prince, lived in a castle and whereabouts in London Manchester was....they are stupid cretins.
Anybody wanna blame the crooked russians? This did occur during the fall of the iron curtain. Even modern history suggests they are still crooked. Feel bad for the many good Russians and the obvious victims.

They knew there was radiation but nobody was sure how bad it was at the beginning, what had initially happened. The Soviets didn't even admit it until six days later when European countries began to detect that radiation from the accident and were freaking out. If this guy is still alive, it's extraordinary, because the amount of radiation escaping from that reactor core was enormous.
@TheCrabMan02 No, that is the core burning. Notice the lid is laying sideways over the reactor. At an angle going from top right to bottom left. The glowing material is the radioactive core.
@PineapplePwincess you need to remember that one of the prominent soviet scientists, academic legasov, who's voise you hear in this video, was not stupid PineapplePwincess - even so very "long ago". also, he would die from hanging himself, not from "poisoning". fully yours, C.O.
Well hope they kept the door closed... At least they werent at the area where " after 40 minutes of unprotected exposure your flesh would start to fall of"
Igor Kostin, who made this video, opened the door. He said, it was like flying in the universe, when he turned out for some seconds.
He didn't know how danger it was.
But 2006 he was still alive though he was a reporter who made more pictures from the catastrophe and helped during the clean-up. Three other reporters were already dead.
Man who would fly over a reactor?? Especially one pouring out radiation. At leat the werent at the place where people had to wear special clothing to protect them from the millions(or thousands if im wrong) where after 40 min of unprotected exposure ur body would start to fall to pieces
@fuzzywzhe Why is it that everyone keeps thinking that all americans are so ignorant, especially considering that we are one of the most technologically advanced and overall educated countries in the world, the first to even attempt to educate all of its citizens.
@rehsa2194 "Why is it that everyone keeps thinking that all americans are so ignorant, especially considering that we are one of the most technologically advanced and overall educated countries in the world"
We may have remarkable scientists, but not the best.
I am commenting on the general education of the general American populace. 1986 isn't "long ago" with respect to knowledge of radiation exposure.
Americans ARE stunningly ignorant, it's just a plain basic fact.
@fuzzywzhe and limeys ARE STUNNINGLY gay, it's just a proven scientific fact. So fuck off motherfucker cause Americans new radiation was dangerous in '86 . Stay in your heard sheep and dont try to use one of the most IGNORANT forms of human behavior patterns known as STEREOTYPING to define an entire group of people based on the dumb ass comments of one or two individuals.

I'm an American, and I live in Silicon Valley, California.
@fuzzywzhe Furthermore many if not most of the super critical mass experiments that were conducted to learn about lethal doses and amounts of radioactive materila were where? america los alamos new mexico, the first nuclear reactor was built where? Chicago illinois, and yes these advancements and were done in the 30's and 40's so of course by the 80's they knew of the dangers of radiation. Only an idiot would believe that ignorance is an american trait, any more than any other nationalities.
I live in this country. I happen to live in Silicon Valley.
There is no question that Americans are the most scientifically illiterate people in the developed world. It's obviously clear this is true. There's no creationist movement in Europe, or Russia, or India, or China, or Australia, or New Zealand - but there is here.
@fuzzywzhe instead of living in this shit country then instead of bitching about it why dont you move to europe and have basiclly no freedom in some countries
@Blackhawk5656 "instead of living in this shit country then instead of bitching about it "
I'm not bitching about the country, you moron, I'm bitching about the morons that live in it.
I'll leave when the country collapses - in 2-10 years, after the dollar is decimated, and you idiots elect another moron president who, whether Republican or Democrat, will continue to do exactly the same thing the last moron did.
I pass the points test, and am in high tech, I've already got that in order.
@RashidDostum False. Ignorant people only preside in the USA , nowhere else on the planet. It's true cause I said it. I said it cause I'm told to hate America because stuff. Even though I live there.
@fuzzywzhe Records show that workers at the plant did know, roughly. So did the firefighters. But many liquidators were shipped in with little or no information, and those living in Pripyat were for the mostpart blissfully unaware of the dangers. Even being in the 'nuclear era', there'd never been this kind of accident before, and nobody truly understood its effects. Residents gathered to watch the events unfold, exposing themselves to lethal doses. Read about the Bridge of Death.
@thehousefox It's strange that people make these general statements and make themselves appear so dim witted. I'm betting he is from the UK. They seem hung up on hatred for the states via youtube.
@Godslayer1992 That sir would be hyperbole. While generalizations are important, applying an intellectual trait to an entire population based on geographical location would seem extremely ignorant. That's like me saying people from france are stuck up? Or english people are dumb, or mexicans are quick learners...
But what I say does not matter, because you are a troll :D
@fuzzywzhe Its true! Do you really think that they REALLY understood what the dangers was? An invisible force that just causes you to die? Please. Do explain for me how radiation works! (I do know, but it's hard to REALLY grasp it without deep knowlage in the stuff). The soldiers had no choice, no, but they didn't know aswell.
@MrComradeCommissar "Its true! Do you really think that they REALLY understood what the dangers was?"
Yes. They knew what a lethal dose was, back in the 50s. There have been accidents with attaining critical mass by dropping plutonium warheads - the compression causes it to reach criticality due to the shock of impact.
What happens is that it kills all you cells, they stop multiplying but they continue work mostly, as dead cells, and you die.
@fuzzywzhe what is this AMERICANS ARE stupid shit?? If I'm so fucking stupid, how come I'm 28yrs old, living in a $535,000 house, dont have to work, but I do..and my hobbie is rebuilding and racing air cooled Porsches? Rest of the world is so fukin smart huh? How come you live in your own filth? Sounds like you're the fukin stupid one!! HAHAHAH I LOVE BEING A RICH AMERICAN, I PISS ON YOU!
@whorebot325 "what is this AMERICANS ARE stupid shit?? If I'm so fucking stupid, how come I'm 28yrs old, living in a $535,000 house, dont have to work, but I do..and my hobbie is rebuilding and racing air cooled Porsches?"
Ummm, because you're a spenthrift of your family's money?
@fuzzywzhe got a problem with america? just shut up, no need to be stereotypical. everywhere you go, you find idiots. If you were saying things like he was a 12 year old angsty whatever or something like that then i don't give a shit but there was no reason to get stereotypical and insult america.
@fuzzywzhe Way to take shit out of context just so you can say something against me. Just goes to show how great your country must be. Now quit all this bullshit and own up to the fact that you are an asshole and you're sorry. After you've done that we can get this all behind us.
You bastards write here all garbage ... These people are heroes, they saved the world from nuclear disaster. Almost all of them died, in order that their descendants would have lived in the pure land. Anyway, I'll look like in another country will be competing with a similar problem. All of you bastards who call the liquidators - bio-robots.
@02Sibalex I know that I ment for the douche that is insulting america..... I know they saved many generations but with the fuckbag Fuzzywzhe Its not the country thats the problem its the countries GOVERNMENT!!!! I hate the FUCK out of it.....I think there will be a revolt....and if there is Im fighting against THE MAN!!!! Fuzzyfuck doesnt know that its The man thats the problem....
@fuzzywzhe The people sent in to clear it up werent aware of how much radiation there was. The detectors they had all went off the charts and the officials assumed they were all faulty *roll* it wasnt until more sophisticated equipment arrived days later that showed the real readings were insane. The russian government played it down and told the workers that it was safe so they would go in and stop the fires and seal up all the drainage. those men saved a lot of lives, if not their own.
@xoCrackAox Sorry, citizens don't control who our politicians decide to invade. Congress does that. And they flip-flop all the time on their stance on certain issues regarding invasions. So, please don't associate the normal citizens with the ignorant and the government. Most of us are actually quite nice.
@xoCrackAox Unfortunately in this day and age, the media portrays countries they want them to be perceived and the ignorant hear it and think they're the smartest cookies in America.
@cman7711 Okay... But I was a beast in AP Government and U.S. History. I know my shit. It just makes me angry that people who have never been here think they know everything about Americans. They don't, they're just slaves to the media and believe everything they see.
@cman7711 What? I'm American! Whoever this "fuzzy" person is wants to get his/her ass kicked! And if you'll see, I replied to fuzzy. Obviously, if you'd seen that you would have understood it. It was a type of humor...ugh never mind you don't get it. Sorry.
@RandomNinja267 Oh fuck you. For your information, I'm a girl. And I fucking hate video games. Duh! Of course America isn't invincible. Thank you Captain Obvious. Now why don't you go on to something more relevant. And it's called patriotism asshole!
@xoCrackAox lol well in that case your still an idiot. I never said you were a guy (Don't know where the whole girl thing came from). Who said an american trait is to start wars? Look at WWII, We were bombed first,Look at the War On Terror,that followed after 9/11. We don't start them, we end them.
@RandomNinja267 It was a friggin' joke! Where is your sense of humor? And you and I both know we're nowhere near ending this stupid fucking war. Looks like you contradicted yourself. You say America is not invincible, and yet can end wars. The last time we ended a war was like over 60 years ago! We can't even decide whether Obama was born here or not! This is why that idiot fuzzywzhe thinks Americans are ignorant!
@xoCrackAox I never said we ended that war,i was saying we don't start wars. We have done a good deal of damage to terrorism as it is. War shouldn't happen ever decade for a single country, that isn't very right. fuzzy was saying we are ignorant because we merely guess on everything rather than learn about the truth,and you are right about the Obama thing. I apologize if what you said was a joke, and i'm sure i would be able to pick up the humor if i could see more than blank text.
@RandomNinja267 Dude, do you really think they started this war? Do you honestly believe that the gov't and military couldn't find OBL for 10 freakin' years? They knew where he was. And now they've got our men and women in uniform running around the desert chasing people who "want" to do die and want to take as many people with them as they can believing in reward they'll get 72 virgins. This war has and will always be about oil and idealogical differences. It's never going to end.
@xoCrackAox Do you have any proof that this conflict is all about oil and idealogical differences? Have you seen it yourself and not off of wikipedia or from paranoid idiots? They actually do want to die,why do you think some use themselves as human bombs? You have no proof stating we knew where he was,besides an idiotic,and illogical thesis. People like you just want to blame our government for any reason you can find,without any evidence to prove your point.
@RandomNinja267 Take it straight from the military. We can track people with cell phones and find them. This guy was hiding in a city in Pakistan! And you don't have any proof either! Are you retarded? Then tell me, why are we over there? We found Hussein, we found Bin Laden. It's been 10 years? Our economy is shit, it's growing...at an astronomically slow rate compared to China. Wasting money and military... Let's just stop thinking about...it's fucking depressing dude.
@RandomNinja267 And the government is corrupt! You know it & I know it. I'm not blaming them for every fucking problem, I know people are responsible for their own shit, case and point people on welfare think they're entitled. But gov't is responsible for most shit indirectly. What I'm going to do is make my money. From the words of a Marine, that's all you CAN do. Like I said before, it's depressing. So noowwww....let's stop talking about it. This time for real.
@RandomNinja267 wow US is really full of ignorant brainwashed rednecks republicans who really think they are heroes and do the right thing and their government is so perfect... and i thought its just talks... seems like the dude u was arguing with is x10 times more logical with his information which u would probably consider propaganda rather than u having nothing to say, no arguments for wars or killings of innocent ones just "terrorism" right? yeah i know rednecks are dumb, no need to show it.
Is there an English transcription of the dialogue? Sounds like they suddenly realized the incredible danger and shouted at the pilot to get the hell out of there!
I'm sure these guys flying over probably knew there was radiation in the air and they were risking their lives going over it but at first I don't think they knew exactly how much radiation was present. When you are filming the molten uranium and can see it from the sky, that means you are probably in some serious trouble. These guys were heroes though, for the most part they knew what they were going into.
The guy below me; fail. It's been controlled in countless reactors powering nations all across the world for decades, and we've only had what, three major accidents, that's if you count Three Mile island, which had nearly no harmful effects. Chernobyl was an exception, where a combination of lazy design and political bias (due mainly to a poor management infrastructure) meant that a very serious disaster took place. The reactor there was below safety standards then, it looks like a deliberately
Excuse my directness but you are the definition of an idiot: uninformed, hasty and irresponsible. The list of accidents in (western!) nuclear facilities is long, and it's pretty likely that these reported incidents are nothing but the tip of the iceberg.
The longterm effects of radioactivity are widely unknown. No one can say for sure how it will influence our genetics and evironment over time. And then there's the waste. But I fear these things are beyond your mental capacity.
@TheFluktuationAcht okay, please dont verbally abuse me, because i didnt abuse you, only your logic. firstly, you dont know me, and trust me, im not stupid. im applying to oxford university to study physics, i dont want to brag but im judged by my school as very likely to succeed. in case you dont know, oxford is the best university in britain; basically, im not stupid, not by a long shot. i fully understand the risks and limitations of nuclear power; i know that radiation is dangerous, but...
@TheFluktuationAcht we actually have a good understanding of its effects. we know how to deal with certain levels of radiation contamination should they occur, and we know how these levels will affect human health, to a certain extent. what i was saying is that nuclear reactors aren't bombs, and that nuclear power is our best bet, what with climate change staring us in the face. the high level waste is an issue for sure, but that is not beyond my mental capacity, as you so kindly put it.
@TheFluktuationAcht fission power should be seen as a stop gap on the road to perfecting nuclear fusion technology, a goal we should reach before the storage of high level waste becomes an issue. if space underground does run out, then i suggest that we eject high level waste into space. costly yes, but necessary.
this long list of "accidents" that you refer to has clearly escaped my attention, but i suspect you might be referring to the spate of failures in testing of reactors during the 70s.

Its high temperature caused a powerfull updarft that carried radioctive particles from the well of the reactor."

They knew there was radiation but nobody was sure how bad it was at the beginning, what had initially happened. The Soviets didn't even admit it until six days later when European countries began to detect that radiation from the accident and were freaking out. If this guy is still alive, it's extraordinary, because the amount of radiation escaping from that reactor core was enormous.

Even being in the 'nuclear era', there'd never been this kind of accident before, and nobody truly understood its effects. Residents gathered to watch the events unfold, exposing themselves to lethal doses. Read about the Bridge of Death.

Yes. They knew what a lethal dose was, back in the 50s. There have been accidents with attaining critical mass by dropping plutonium warheads - the compression causes it to reach criticality due to the shock of impact.
What happens is that it kills all you cells, they stop multiplying but they continue work mostly, as dead cells, and you die.

Excuse my directness but you are the definition of an idiot: uninformed, hasty and irresponsible. The list of accidents in (western!) nuclear facilities is long, and it's pretty likely that these reported incidents are nothing but the tip of the iceberg.
The longterm effects of radioactivity are widely unknown. No one can say for sure how it will influence our genetics and evironment over time. And then there's the waste. But I fear these things are beyond your mental capacity.

@TheFluktuationAcht fission power should be seen as a stop gap on the road to perfecting nuclear fusion technology, a goal we should reach before the storage of high level waste becomes an issue. if space underground does run out, then i suggest that we eject high level waste into space. costly yes, but necessary.
this long list of "accidents" that you refer to has clearly escaped my attention, but i suspect you might be referring to the spate of failures in testing of reactors during the 70s.
