Chernobyl: Life in the Dead Zone (part 2)

[Dogsarecool40]

I wash my vaginas out with seawater before I use them to create that ocean freshness

[TheCaptainLulz]

The part I love the most is that there wont be people there to fuck it up for atleast 100000 years.

[MicrowavableJo]

@TheCaptainLulz What? That's not true at all. Even if you stayed in Chernobyl, right now, for 4 years. The Radioactivity in your body is still nowhere near lethal.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@MicrowavableJo really? go ask the old folks who snuck back in. Ive seen pictures of womens legs there after going to forage food, its not pretty. And Youre only going by lethgal dose standards, which are too low like you say, but the chances of birth defects, cancers, and other malignant diseases as a result of living there are astronomically higher than for those outside the zone.

[NEONKUSH]

they actually run tours of Chernobyl if you got the ballz to go in there

[breadmenv]

Yeah, the bear was trying to eat the cat.

[NurseJhonnaMS]

Wait a second. The house with the kittens is the same as the one the bears broke into in part one. Notice the door.

[jackobob619]

primary succession or secondary succession?

[scottydesthegooner]

It actually makes me laugh how so many of you seem to think you know all about it. Obviously it is habitable or life would not be carrying on there, in fact as this video points out, life is thriving there. Have you ever thought that maybe the power of life and mother nature are far more powerful than we think? And that maybe the cycle of life is driven by a force far greater than any atomic bomb us backward thinking humans could ever build?

[molligemozes]

use the mushrooms luke

[JJJJZ]

humanity should leave more zones like this that we just don't touch. the korean DMZ for instance, is similar.

[CelticKraut]

They're trying so hard to make this sad. It's just not.

[godkingRoss]

these animals will have a much shorter lifespan than their radiation free cousins X amount of miles away, especially the apex predators that are exclusionary carnivorous, like that raptor and cat... and maybe the lone wolf bbut he'll be more omnivorous than most wolves

[bluefenix211]

wow... the animals didn't mutate... I find that weird... Humans however has side effects from it

[paulosio]

@bluefenix211

Well.. you say they didn't mutate but there was a recent study that found that many of the birds in the area have shrunken brains. Was reading about it a few months ago on the BBC news website. There are also likely to be other side affects that aren't visually obvious. Also remember that the radiation levels in the area are far lower now than they were around the time of the accident and many of these animals may not be direct descendants of animals in the area at the time.

[tfbogdan]

this should happen so much often

[HQO106]

this seems right humans cause the issue animals put up with it

[OphelieLiv]

I wonder if radioactivity is addictive.

[CloudLV2]

People should leave Chernobyl as it is. Its like a preserve for the animals with no limits and none to disturb them.

[benhongh]

We think we are the master of nature, oh how arrogant and wrong we are

[MrAndersohn]

no people no evil

[danbennerdotcom]

Life thrives where there's no people... Imagine that.

[slardapelle]

How did they film this?

[MalchikBlue]

@slardapelle Cameras

[gokdede]

@MalchikBlue He might ment how they could like come into the zone and film all the animals.

[alexzhu1]

so basically everything can live in radiation except us? wow we fail...

[paulosio]

@alexzhu1

Humans could easily live in that environment too. We choose not to because of the health risks and that's all they are... risks. There are health risks and side effects on the animals too but they just aren't as obvious as having 3 heads or whatever.

[TheQwetyu]

@paulosio haha. not quite. the animals are showing deformities and such; as would be expected... the biggest issue would be cancer in humans, not extra heads etc.

We could live there however water and food would not be easy to come by for humans due to irradiation.

Often mutations caused by this low ionising (gamma) radiation are superficial or minor. Things like mutated wings etc. are wiped out by predators (natural selection) usually.

Correct me if im wrong or mislead. xo

[3picsandwich]

it could almost be a nice place to live

[Drago19930713]

OMG i have exact same fluffy kitteh like in 02:15 ^^

[MAairsofter]

at 7:00 is that a rabbit

[Slyptid]

I really like this video. The music, landscape shots and all the animals remind me from the starting town in Guild Wars

[eggsalad774]

DONT PLAY WITH YOUR FUCKING FOOD lol

[hotpinkbunny27]

the animals look fine. here i thought the radiation would keep out all life.

[wert478]

@hotpinkbunny27 the radiation is more safe for animals than people plus there would be less radiation now then 1986.

[hotpinkbunny27]

@wert478 thats really amazing.

[Kozzy06]

OMG the little kittens are SO damm cute!

ME WANT.

[timmytyphoon]

Many times the animals short life spans dont allow enough time for the sever cancers to develop befor they die as a result of nature. Humans arent so lucky.In a couple decades the effects are nasty.

[wert478]

@timmytyphoon not exactly, almost all of the population that lived there died once they moved.

[calexrose]

the mushrooms as a filter for the radioactivity. the wild boar are still alive

[TheTwoHunters]

wonderful

[CanadianAlbertan]

I like teh kitty

[TofuEatingZombie]

I wish the narrator would mention some of the effects of living in this radioactive zone, like mutations and cancer.

[EmptyNutShells]

Anyone else realise how the narrator says the same thing over and over, but in about 100 different ways? Still an interesting watch anyhow.

[mastaODI56]

worm sex!!!

[996Chris]

6:00 where's the other ktity?

[ixonixas]

Died

[eggsalad774]

@996Chris i think he fell maybe hes sleeping

[anatepa]

at 2:33 the little kitty falls.

[bronzeonion]

how come the animals arnt mutatated and can live without getting cancer but us people can? doesnt make sense

[killerinstinct1337]

Who says they aren't mutated ? Mutations are most of the time not visible by the naked eye , however some creatures are less likely to suffer effects from radiation than others , we're simply not resistant enough to radioactivity.

[Fight4Privacy]

That's a really good question. I don't understand it either.

[sandamanson]

@bronzeonion did you ever see the animals can suffer from cancer ? AIDS,pigg flu,or some kind HUMAN MADE sickness or desease ? People made the lot of deseases to manipulate the world,but not manipulate the animals,or nature.( this is also was made by mans hand )So,ppl just made mistake to HUMANS...not to anything else.WE MADE US SO WEAK !and remember : On earth only HUMAN CHILD cant live without help of grown. ( Sorry for my english )

[bronzeonion]

ahh right, lol we leant about why humans die so easily! in science, and teacher told us it was because we have medicines and stuff, without them we would all be strong. basically only the strong survive

[Grayfox354]

@sandamanson A baby bird would die without its mother, but I understand what you're saying. We are our greatest predator.

[996Chris]

WTH?! It's a very nice term. Have you ever seen an animal getting sick from cancer or any other deadly disease? Only humans can, and that's very strange...

[eRepair]

Yes of course other animals get cancer. Ask any veterinarian. Dogs, cats, nearly all animals get cancer.

[FlyingCows88]

@996Chris  dog and cats can get cancer too. as well as hamsters

[Gumbo550]

@bronzeonion humans are especially vulnerable to radiation, some animals arent

[docatomics]

@Gumbo550 ...all mamals are vulnerable to the long term genetic damage from such energy emission. Let the truth be found & dispersed from this tragidy, that we may proceed in a informed manner in all we contemplate.

[NaffiFIRE]

what a mistakeeeeeeee:'(,,,y the helllllllll couldnt they shut down the reactor:'(((((( looook what had happppend :@ :@ :@,, was a great loss,,for all mankind,,may god be with the ones who fought that day,,and who died.....ppl fucked up thier planet :@..sorrry got a little angry

[KillingStreak919]

it's not an accident that the stupid and gross ukrainians can't save there city. it was there fault for having reactors.... than they got preagnant over there and gave birth to freaks... thats more worse!

[sharples01]

perhaps the only way for endangered species to survive is for the land to become uninhabitable for man. it saddens me.

[spazchickens]

People are stupid.

[dkkght46]

I attended a lecture of the Battalion chief who commanded the firefighters at Chernobyl. This occurred some years ago at the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore MD. He talked about their response to the explosion. He watched as his firefighters died right there infront of him. They knew as they responded that they all would not survive, but they went in anway because thats what firefighters do. The chiefs cancer was in remission at the time when in Baltimore but within a year he joined the others.

[mrjustin5]

At 3:35 Those awesome, color video shots of the Chernobyl Reactor right after the explosion, from the helicopter? Do you guys like that, right?

Well those helicopter shots came at a HUGE COST, you can read for yourself the heroic story of how those guys wanted to get a clear view of what was down there, to find out what the REAL damage was and they all paid for it with their lives

That helicopter flyover exposed them to extremely intense radiation.

Chernobyl: A real life nightmare horror show

[ruupuruupu]

Hahahaha 5.15 I wonder what worm sex looks like :D

[spazchickens]

Nothing awesome I would imagine...

[matsmpmats]

Visited the zone on 15 november 2008, vid on my youtube

[4543563]

ROFL

FUCK THAT

[oxcoma]

im gathering people for trip to Pripyat

[silverdragonsfly]

how can the animals live there thats amaizing

[cdrcodys212th]

its weird, radioactivity scares me to hell, but however i have an obsession with it and i find it extremely interesting. something inside me really wants to go and visit chernobyl but another part of he says hell no, kinda weird, great vid

[SupHobagg]

cdr, I feel the same way. I don't know why, and I think maybe a good deal of people do. It's sort of become my dream ro work with Chernobyl children after I get my nursing degree, though. I think it would be such an amazing opportunity. But thanks for sharing that you feel the same way many others seem to.

[cdrcodys212th]

no problem and good luck getting your degree

[SupHobagg]

thank you much

[bosmaaieraapje]

it triggers something in me , its itresting but scary , i hope to visit it sometime , maybe even start a hotel there or something , for travvelers

[zur2122]

Yes it is extremly interesting and attractive. And jsut to let you know you wouldnt be able to set up a hotel its still extremly radioactive

[badthoughs]

@bosmaaieraapje I would surely visit that hotel. That would be a really thrilling trip!

[Aleksitusasd]

I'd like to visit there. Im not crazy, i am really interested about Chernobyl.

[Nightbreed24]

You're not the only one.

[kalastaja132]

@Aleksitusasd i would like to visit it too.

[Aleksitusasd]

@kalastaja132 Yea, it'd be awesome.

[sidekick9409]

@Aleksitusasd I'm going to try to go next year

[Aleksitusasd]

@sidekick9409 Awesome! If you succeed, remember to take pics and video!

[sidekick9409]

@Aleksitusasd I will and thanks.

[sidekick9409]

@Aleksitusasd I am working on a flight ticket

[Crosshairs95]

@Aleksitusasd as long as you bring own hazmat suit and a full head :)

[kaz707able]

@Aleksitusasd youll get over 300 rad if you go unprotected which is 70% lealthal

[KawaiiEthan]

@Aleksitusasd me 2!!!!!!

[godkingRoss]

@Aleksitusasd haha, i think they do tours, t'll probably cost a fair bit though

[InternetRevolution]

Sad and beautiful at once.

[FL0D0S]

@InternetRevolution all we can hope for, is that when the fallout has cleared enough for human inhabitance, we will respect this haven, and leave it alone...
