I would like to THANK YOU very much for showing on YouTube this richful job of yours, with plenty of things we dont see in ordinary documentaries. It is interesting to observ that despite the effects of time and wild environment, things should not be so destroyed as they are. This, I believe, is an evidence of hard vandalism throught times, which proves some humans have absolute no respect for structures and things. Its sad things arent close of how they were left at.
|...2 || I then enjoy the oportunity to ask you how is the visiting system. I mean, you were allowed to visit the places being followed by a guide. But before the visits were open(back in time), when the whole area was abandoned, vandalism took place, huh? Real sad. To see the things near of how they were left would cause an impression much more realistic. About the rest, I wonder what you felt there.
|...3|| I mean, to see with your own eyes the entire devastation humankind can cause to themselves and the planet. Ghost towns(I've seen one in USA, once) are something that make us think about the actions that could lead us to our own extinction. I've read around internet and books this whole area will remain contaminated for over 70 to 100 years still(if not more), which will make of Chernobyl a time capsule and a memory for future generations. Once again, THANK YOU very much for sharing! ;)
@vassatiny went up to 13 micro sieverts, still relatively low but you don't hang around for long. if its in millli-sieverts 1msv = 1000 micro sv then you need to really worry.
@thomm030 Thanks, appreciate it :) we couldnt get the zone administration to agree to Duga 3, its supposedly still guarded by a private security firm so its a lot tougher to get in there, although ive seen others on the net who have, We did get to see Yanov station and reactors 5 and 6 which we had to get permission to visit, theyre not part of the normal bus tour.
ur awsome mate, did u get tio see the labs? there was a factry where i live and when that got shut down they left everything including a lab, me and my friends broke in a few months after and everything was still there was a cool time in my life...
Beside the terrible architecture, the whole case of Chernobyl also is a good example of human naivity and irrationality. We build huge power plants based on technology and procedures which are critical to handle and rather dangerous. And for what price? Well, the answer lies in Prypiat and its environs.
98% of electricity in Norway is comming from hydropower. Only Norway could replace 60 European nuclear power reactors by hydropower. But again, men are still foolish. There is only little hope.
To be honest: Prypiat of course does not look beautiful these days but it also never did before. It's a characteristical Eastern bloc city with an architecture of terrible concrete block construction, built overnight only for a nuclear power reactor. You could find such terrible architecture also in Berlin when eastern Germany, i.e. the German Democratic Republic was under Russian leadership until 1990. I always wonder why people like to live at such disgusting concrete block places.
@AirSimming I think that you're from USA. In Poland, you must wait up to 7 years to get a flat in such an ugly cocrete block, when everyone wanted them back in PRL. Hard times. If you don't like it you could live in even worse conditions. Not much choice. My grandfather have had 150 square meter suburban home built in 1960s and a blue Volga GAZ M24, a luxurious one back then, but he was mid-ranking communist PZPR party member, a "somebody". If there was a line in the shop, he would be first.
I have that dosimeter just to let you know, if you set the threshold to 0.00 then it alarm at 1000 micro. However the dosimeter wont shut of periodically with that threshold.
@dikkefuck123456789 All of the metal things (Tanks, Choppers, Trucks) have absorbed a lot of radiation and are highly dangerous to be around. No one would want to be near those tanks let alone inside one or use the metal for anything.
@dikkefuck123456789: some people have stolen parts of the vehicles - but i am pretty sure anyone who did that was only able to do it it once... (-;
Because how much radiation you recieve depends on how long you are exposed to it. If you just go there to look around and then leave - it's not so bad, but if you where to steal something and take it with you, you would be taking the radiation with you and if you are exposed to it long enough...
Otherworldly to see everything just left, just stopped in time - like everyone simply vanished.
Very good filming and editing, very good music. You should consider a career in films, hollywood needs some creative blood - this was more interesting to watch than most films out now. Thank you.
This is the best shot footage of the Chernobyl zone so far, great job !! I absolutely want to go there sometime. Its exiting and chilling at the same time...thanks for posting.
Many boats were used to bring in the massive amounts of sand used to drop on the reactor. They would have been too radioactive to be taken away to be used again. Like the many trucks, fire engines, bulldozers, the boats simply couldn't ever be saved.
Absolutely a great video series!!! There's something magical about Prypiat, and these videos capture that well. Please post any additional footage from your trips.
@paullypaully18 It was fully evacuated back in 86 however a month or two later a lot of the residents crept back into the zone and back to their old homes, they are know as samosely.
well thx for sharing this with us :) this was really awesome to watch .. and think abaut the history of the place. this is so sad that noone was warned in time abaut what really happend. i live in hungary and hungary was only warned from these thinks abat 2-3 weaks later :( (hungary is next to Ukraine)
actually, lots of fish are in the river pripyat, and there is a larger concentration of russian wild boar and red deer in chernobyl/pripyat then there are in the surronding areas
amazing video footage. This is truely a modern day ghost city and quite a tragety at the same time...lets pray we've learned from our mistakes and never let this happen again.
Yes some people crept back into the zone and back to their homes a few months after the accident. Before the explosion there were 4000 people in the village of illintsi, now there are only a handful.
Hi m8 that's 1 touching piece of footage..It bring back some worrying memories for sure..Luckily the wind blew N/E before it got to England....Not saying i didn't feel for the rest of Europe...1 thing I will add is that it should be a reminder for all man kind,,,,that if wee get things wrong it can cost us dearly........On the up side,, I could hear animals(BIRDS)..coming back into the area...So are great planet has her way of fixing thing.....( Mother Nature )Good Job An all....
