[Kamoda9753]

They are heroes....Слава героям...

[DSVetDad]

@Kamoda9753 Agreed...well said my friend

[Risberrrg]

The radiation leves there were far beyond what anyone here can imagine. They couldn't send robots because their engines would melt, so they had to send humans. As far as i can understand the helicopter hit a cloud of extreme radiation immidiately causing the helicopter engine to malfunction and the pilot couldn't stop the chopper from hitting the wires. The helicopter itself was also severly weakened which explains the tail of the helicopter suddenly bending.

The Liquidators, Saviours of Europe

[NickSpeakz]

@Risberrrg it wasn't that the engines would melt, the robots just DONT work in radiation that high, the electronic components cease to function as if they never even worked in the first place.

[Amzer352]

@Risberrrg Radiation cannot actually weaken metal, and has no effect on engines. However, it pretty much breaks electrical circuits as if they were made of insulators instead of conductors, like what that other guy said. The tail bending was from the rear propeller's force, and the sudden stop of the larger.

[thequeen161]

This is such a tragedy. So sad in so many ways ... R.I.P. Heroes

[Ofotherworlds]

May the pilot and all aboard abide with God forever.

[Azishome]

I think the crewmen knew they were eventually going to die from the radiation before they undertook this mission. They were trying to do something to help save others' lives. Brave men serving with honor in horrible circumstances.

[sannhill1]

Most of you are heartless jerks! What does it matter if it was due to the radiation cloud or whether they hit some cables? ! Neither opinion changes the outcome and neither of which should cause any less respect given to the lives lost.

[mathp1993]

désintégré par les iradiation ?? ô.O

[astalavisitor]

In rest of the world you cut the cable .

In SOVIET RUSSIA cable cuts you!

[philipsthebest]

@astalavisitor inappropriet in this case, in wasn't in russia neither

[FamGuy15]

it wasnt radiation that caused the hind to crash, the rotor hit a construction cable

[Rocketdroid111]

@FamGuy15 it wasnt a hind it was a HIP (MI-8)

[RobbieWalther]

@Rocketdroid111 Mil Mi--8 :)

[Righter99]

I KNEW THE WERE FEELING SO BAD AND THEY CRASHED

[drbobvs]

The chopper flew into a "Radiation cloud" that's what destroyed it. The chopper pilots were told to dump clay, sand and water into the reactor to help cool it and cover it but they were never told about the radiation clouds that existed above a reactor.

[SteveLondonSky]

@drbobvs Actually you can clearly see that it hits the cables and the blades fall off... whether the pilot was effected by sickness is another matter, but its clear to say that most people who liquidated did not know and were not told of the dangers before they went there and were under orders and had little choice.

[Terrathrax]

@drbobvs I hope you're being sarcastic.

[RobbieWalther]

@drbobvs Look at the cable, man.

[cannonski]

RIP my Russian friends.

They are heroes... true heroes.!

[l0dgey]

@SuperBalabak what did they do crash a helicopter? well done well done

[XxTestProfilxX]

@l0dgey

they lost their lives trying to stop the catastrophe. they have done something worthy. what are you doing? typing stupid comments on youtube acting like a troll ... at the age of 30. well done well done

[XxTestProfilxX]

@Hobbitchoker

well respect to you. but then I don't understand why you have a problem with the fact that I was pissed about l0dgeys (or whatever his name was) comment.

[Hobbitchoker]

@XxTestProfilxX He's Probably Thinking What I'm Thinking. Crashin A Copter Isnt Being "Heroic" Or Whatever. Hero's Are People Who Do Things Without Question Or Orders. These People Were Mere Workers Who Actually Had Balls, Or No Balls To Tell Their Country (Risk Of Death) No. Either Way, This Event Left Many People, In More Than Just One Way, Screwed.

[sebassucc]

@XxTestProfilxX I've killed a man. I cancel you out.

[SuperBalabak]

@l0dgey they wanted to help there in chernobyl!!! but they had an accident...i think you would not went there and help... but they did !!!

[l0dgey]

@SuperBalabak no shit i wasnt even born lol and im not ukrainian/ soviet so why would i of gone to help if i was alive? lol some people should take an iq test before using the itnernet... and flying helicopters from the look of things

[eretromicin]

@l0dgey what an embarrassment to our race you are...IQ? seriously, read up on criticality accidents...sure this was not that specific problem, but the radiation levels above the reactor were high enough to impair their judgment... and i can assure you that all of the iq points in your household combined would not match up to even one these guys'...i'm from Ukraine and know what type of people were chosen to be pilots there =)

[MultiMarhal]

@eretromicin Спасибо тебе ДОРОГОЙ, что не даешь в обиду наших смелых, отважных и далеко не глупых соотечественников! Молодчага!!!

[NvikIngsN]

Either way, it seems to me this mission was going to give the same results. Death by radiation or the crash. I just wonder if they were informed about the radiation or not.

[ridder5152]

@NvikIngsN Not, nobody was, you had to be crazy to go there. The people of Pripyat were also informed 10 days after the explosion in reactor 4 in Chernobyl. Therefor many people died because they were exposed to radiation for a long time, if they evacuated the people earlier it would not have made so many victims. But the USSR government was embarassed for the fault they made.

[paproachluver]

I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything, i know they were all being heroic for their actions....but I thought the training you got as a helicopter pilot meant you should be able to judge your distance to objects and be able to avoid stuff like this =s

[keepadmiring]

Brave pplz r russians.

[SGTBizarro]

Fucking ignorant... if you're willing to research and learn, you will discover that the crews of these helicopters were exposed to absolutely horrendous amounts of radiation. The entire roof of the reactor had been blown off, and the wind was kicking up contaminated debris and particles all over the place. Some of these crews may have known the danger, but most of them did not. Shit-talkers need to swallow a spank sock and shut the hell up.

These people are heros =/ R.I.P

[ginomw]

i have read igor kostin's book.

it wxplained everything.

that photo was made just before the crash

[Purevil555]

These people will always be heroes in my eyes.

[tygersofpantang]

The men who crewed the helicopters to try to stop  radioactive escape were and in my wiew always will be heroes. Those guys knew they were goin to die as a result of their missions no if's or but's they knew ,but went ahead.

[Bluemars78]

To all the trolls and retards that have and will be posting shit about the people that died there in 1986 trying to save your good for nothing european arses, i have only one humble message:

FUCK OFF AND DIE!

[RustlingRagazza]

@Bluemars78 I'm with you. Fuck off and die, all of them. I am 1100 km away from the actual reactor, outside of the former Soviet Union... yet my dad had his lymph nodes swollen for about a week because he went fishing that day. 23 years later, he had a heart attack, 24 years later, he has something on his lungs. And the other month, a New Zealand friend said he's glad not to live in Europe. Huh, guess why? And then those trolls and retards belittle people who gave their life to keep us safe!!!

[MrAkimov]

song ?

[ThLautenbag]

How did that happen?

[FlYlF]

Just sad.

[ValueOfOurWorld]

The helicopter did crash because the rotors touched the crane. But more important is, what happened before(i dont think it was just a mistake).

Maybe the pilot worked too long in the radiated area and the radiation caused a circulatory collapse or electronics in the heli might have fallen out .

Or radiation over the reactor was so high that it caused a neural breakdown but therefore it takes at least about 50 Gy or more.

falling into the reactor = instant death :-(

[psyxerr]

@ValueOfOurWorld falling with a MI-8 helicopter from such height even at beach in copacabana = instant death

[puncheex]

@ValueOfOurWorld: You're reaching. Yes, the radiation was hard on the crews. If this wasn't their first flight into the mess then it could be that they were feeling effects. Even in severe poisoning the effects aren't immediate, but an 20, 30 minutes later they can start to take a toll. But you are just guessing about what condition they were in. The proximate cause of the accident was running into a crane wire. They were brave men doing a nasty job; military people are often that way.

[MrAkimov]

Song?????????????

[nicobec]

It looks like it struck one of the cables on one of the cranes. That is why the rotors and the tail snaps off.

[Pedlescal]

yeah, you can see a cable that jerks around a bit when the crash happend

[ginomw]

@nicobec the blacked out

[Nhzharuthopar]

@nicobec The helicopter literally crumbled. Theres no way any cable could do that.

[breathtakinglycrazy]

@Nhzharuthopar it hit one cable and then the second,

[Nhzharuthopar]

@breathtakinglycrazy Causing it to crumble?

[Terrathrax]

@nicobec ...and why the cables hanging down broke and fell...

[nicobec]

@Terrathrax The cables are under tension and that will make them snap. like if you have string that is holding up something heavy and you hit it from the side it will snap as well.

[Terrathrax]

@nicobec Yes, I was agreeing with you. The chopper blades hit those cables.

[MrAkimov]

sound?

[SPACET4RD]

i'm assuming the exposure to the radiation probably made the pilots disorientated.

[christoffNY]

@SPACET4RD you clearly know nothing.

[SPACET4RD]

@christoffNY Was a guess, Mr. Christ in New York.

[muslim4321]

They would have died anyhow from exposure don't you think.

[MrAkimov]

OMG R.I.P from Romania

[The61769]

dumb ass russians

[residentswat]

stupid bitch

[SheepJumpFish]

your a stupid prick

[wjp255]

Brave men.

[KokomoJ0]

yup right at the very top of the crane

[rockorsario]

it´s not a crash, i think the radiation literally disssolves the metal.

[RICEYbfd]

wrong look closely it hits some crane wires

[rockorsario]

you are right, hehe

[dtfageet]

Yeah, very obvious. Then some freaks try and claim it's radiation.

[tombi160]

to be fair the tail of the helicopter bent quite badly, how could a wire of hit that if it was heading towards the hanging wires? the wire theory would explain the rotors snapping off, but not the tail bending like it did.

[RoyaleMcChicken]

the weight of the front end twisting and falling probably.

[RoyaleMcChicken]

big whoop wanna fight about it

[RoyaleMcChicken]

yer ginius

[tombi160]

thanks, glad you see things through my eye :D

[dtfageet]

Yes that does look odd, was it the heat from below perhaps?

[RoyaleMcChicken]

probably because he was a poorly trained mercenery from the uk flying a shoddy uk ripoff helicopter

[tombi160]

did you not see the "thanks for reiterating" it was a reply, not a comment on the video.

[RoyaleMcChicken]

big whoop wanna fight about it

[RedskinsMike87]

It was actually because the radiation was so incredibly high right about the reactor that within just a short amount of time it messed up his thinking and he wrecked

[GmanZombie]

@RoyaleMcChicken Mercenary? what the fuck are you talking about.

[puncheex]

@tombi160: Sure it could. There is a tail rotor back there; if it hit, the torque of the rear rotor could have easily bent the tail..

[tombi160]

@puncheex to be honest that comment was from so long ago i can't remember what happened.

[puncheex]

@rockorsario: No. Radiation isn't superman; it can't "dissolve metal". The reactor vessel itself has absorbed millions of times more radiation than anything outside it did, but remained whole. These people suffered a pilot error, perhaps caused by radiation illness (if this wasn't their first trip into the smoke), or perhaps because of simple fatigue, or perhaps because the pilot simply didn't see the wire. We'll never really know.

[bradman5052]

yup.. probably a good idea to be aware of hanging cables when youre in a helicopter.

[langelica69]

ohh hell no.....

[waajk202]

[adamra187]

ya...he does

[monakhovm]

Fuck off you wothless yank.

[Orthodoxus777]

It looks at life in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. They all worked on two shifts, very tired, and the very high levels of radiation. In such circumstances, the chances of accidents.

[Svijetleci]

jasong fuck you fucktard I wish you died there

the

flight!

[langelica69]

pendejos......what happen to parachutes?

[monakhovm]

Oh yeah, and where were they meant to jump? Into the burning nuclear power plant?

[Tooofast]

The radiation they absorbed from being above that was probably enough to kill them.. so either way being up there wasn't good.. but had to be done.

radiation ...

[djclueoldschool]

This is the video of a helicopter with crew of military pilots spreading anti-radiation solution across the blown-up reactor of Chernobyl nuclear plant.

This crew before was participating in Afghanistan war, so it was a team of military profesionals. Just before this final flight they asked a guy with a camera, a journalist from the local newspaper to make them a group photo, this photo you can see in the beginning of the video.

[Vilco656]

God knows how many times helicopter crews flew over reactor to spread it with AR content.

RIP for all liquidators bravely going into death to stop radiation spread.

Слава херојима.

[BushBlewUpTwinTowers]

lol, it wasnt an inside job

[prfctday]

lol, yes it was.

No, next you're going to say Bush did it?

[Airsteven123]

damn, those are some shitty helicopters. no wonder they got owned by the Taliban in Afghanistan

[a217799]

The funny thing is, an apache chopper wouldn't even be able to come near the reactor without crashing, since the radioactive partikles effect the circuits.

[McWaters12]

Pretty sure you made that up. In fact Hughes designed all the electrical systems on the helicopter to cope with high doses of radiation. It makes sense if you think about it. If an atomic bomb were dropped, would you want all Helicopters around to crash?

[Lukoilovich]

so you say that it was radiation which caused crash?

[McWaters12]

no, these helicopters were trying to drop "neutron absorbers" into the core supposedly to reduce the fall out, they failed and this one happened to hit a cable and crash.

[rasssianin]

after a nuclear explosion the emp blast would fuck up the circuits not the radiation.

[Lukoilovich]

they arent shit especially for those times

[JBisDtai]

My physics teacher was trying to explain what was happening to it. The electron cloud above the power plant was so thick that it basically turn the helicopter into a magnet, sucking itself into the center.

[bobdagangster]

then your teacher is a moron

[bunnjovi1988]

lol i love the assumption that the radiation gives off an EMP pulse , EMP is associated with nuclear explosions not radioactive elements, even if the heli was turned into a magnet it wouldnt implode seeing as the helicopter is made out of metal and would become charged as one and thus would be attracted to other oppositly charged objects and not itself . lol your teachers an idiot
