Chernobyl & Pripyat 2007

[Sturm580]

its funny (i dont mean the disaster, that was scary,wierd and unfortunate) because once COD gets a lot of things accurate ...... which makes the COD4 missions pretty scary

[xPray2die2dayx]

the abandonment of that massive city was one of the reasons the USSR collapsed

[dalton35100]

50,000 people used to live here now its a ghost town

[vchora1]

this city is fuckin full of radiation , only cod 4 guys can go there without get a sickness who that will kill u in 2 minutes and half

[sanjar12345]

@vchora1 You idiot Look at the reading its safe there as long as you dont touch doors etc...

[vchora1]

@sanjar12345 u whant to life here or what?

[sanjar12345]

@vchora1 no but i wont to visit there in the future and help fix the place up

[Tiberiumfreek]

Very accurate and detailed information! good job with the video! :D

[discotheminecrafter]

i've seen this in COD4. Just wanted to see it in real life.

[ckd5098]

is there any Blood Sucker ?

[thedragonb0y]

This along with Centralia, there are many places I would love to visit.

Some people like to go to nice places to "escape", I love to go to HORRIBLE places to pay my respects.

[Ratiug163]

Thumps up if you watched this for playing Call of Duty 4 "All ghillied up"

[666Shinedown]

@Ratiug163 I have played this but I'm here from Top10's chanell

[BlueJayz2465]

I will definitely be making a trip there when time permits.

[Darius123737]

This teaches people to be more careful with nuclear and also I think nuclear power plants can be good but stupid,because of this type of accidents that happen,I would like to go to pripyat but because of the radiation I would not go anywhere near it, even with the safety materials, but this is a good video showing of pripyat and chernobyl!

[Darius123737]

This teaches people that they need to be more careful but also means that really nuclear power plant destroy and are sometimes pretty stupid! I would like to go to pripyat but because of radiation I would not go anywhere near it, but this is a good video of showing what is like!

[rockangel1967]

i remember very well the days when this happened. i was 19 and there where soon restrictions on food. scary...

[Arashieatssweets]

seems great for a fallout or stalker film except that it seems like the soil is irradiated so i guess the people would have to pop some potassium iodine, but still i dont see any actors agreeing to do this

[SSHPCS2]

Why is it called the Chernobyl accident if it happened in Pripyat

[HDRaptorzzUK]

@SSHPCS2 The accident was the explosion of Reactor 4 at Chernobyl Power Plant in 1986. It did not happen IN Pripyat but the town had to be evacuated anyway because of the radiation.

[SSHPCS2]

@HDRaptorzzUK Oh I see. I was confused because if you look on the map it looks like the plant is by Chernobyl. What's odd is Chernobyl the building are sort of being rebuilt and the pipes are being put above ground. In Pripyat it's totally destoryed.

[HDRaptorzzUK]

@SSHPCS2 yeah I know. I have heard somewhere that Ukranian Government are thinking of lifting the illegality/the border around Pripyat and Chernobyl sometime in 2012 so u can go in legally! but I would still take some kind of radiation monitoring kit. Even in 25 years some spots like deep soil and on rubber are highly irradiated still...Also read up on the topic. It always interests me!

[SSHPCS2]

@HDRaptorzzUK Wow I never knew it was illegal to go there. Chernobyl seemed like a semi florishing town (with the memorial and all). Do you know by chance if the roads are blocked off?

[rockangel1967]

@SSHPCS2 because pripyat was 2 miles away from the nuclear power plant called chernobyl.

[thamastachief]

Welcome to the zone, S.T.A.L.K.E.R!

[nascar88218]

MY FREAKING REESE'S MELTED IN MY POCKET!!!!!

[anthonisaac]

i just saw a "nature" program on pbs about this exclusion area. lots of wild life. beautiful surroundings. sad it takes a disaster to create a nature preserve these days. it looked very lonely and peaceful. the wolves and raptors were happy campers and thriving.

[Quex01]

Scary, how people's perception of reality has been deteriorated by the computer games.

[zombieX111222333]

i want to go there. i really like abandoned places.

[republicano19]

Soviet Time Capsule

[vboxeca]

Get out of here, stalker!

[denivanov4]

I've been there.

[xsdi22]

I would like to visit that place of course with protection and especially want to see the empty swimming pool and the abandoned kids playground along with the empty buildings and all the soviet union abandoned war machines.

[pleiadecca]

The 1986 catastrophe sent 49,300-plus residents packing in less than two days, leaving behind ... everything. The reactor explosion released an estimated three percent of the reactor core materials, now a churning, radioactive lava soup beneath the concrete sarcophagus. The cement tomb today is cracked and deteriorating. If something happens to release significantly more fallout, the world, especially all of Europe, will be in horrible peril.

[m2mihulja]

Too bad. Those stupid Soviets don't know how to keep anything.

Chernobyl - It was the most powerful nuclear-power station in Europe, with 4 very strong reactors, and two additional that were supposed to build in 1987.

Pripyat - Excellent example of what a modern city should look like. New, small and practical...

West had luck that Chernobyl blew up - it was the most influential and powerful set of domination in Europe.

[WayneBourdon]

I would love to there. I'm fascinated by it.

Have always wanted to go there.

[vixenius]

@WayneBourdon Me too bro, me too!

[klimzo]

20 years later and people may consider to live there again. /:

[badturkali]

@klimzo yeah, its a quiet place. imagine going up on top floor on the balcony watching the view, its so beautiful

[ThislsFreakingWar]

woot woot!!!

[KrayzieBone222]

wow i have played the STALKER series so much that i feel i've been there. GSC did a great job recreating the area.

[freindlyapache101]

@CaKeBSiKK Don't cry homegirl!

[freindlyapache101]

@CaKeBSiKK Oh yeah! You're just a little faggot! lol

[RevAndroid]

I think it would be really neat to live there as-is. It's very interesting.

[freindlyapache101]

50000 People used to live here.................and now it's a ghost town.

[Bignition]

@freindlyapache101 why u copy

[freindlyapache101]

@Bignition Dude. It's a thing that captain mcmillan says in CoD 4

[Bignition]

@freindlyapache101 i know that obviously but the top comment is the exact same

[marcivanable]

the whole Zone must live again! that's not good....

[SaintEbba]

Wow.

[crazySara1997]

Wow ... Make me wanna go there

[sisterbrothers]

@GeorgiBancov well said

[nitroboost8765]

That old ferris wheel really creeps me out...

[babieejesse]

they were quite fond of the ugly green color, wernt they.

[MaeXXXerine]

sorry ukraine

[Doodorz]

It's insane how this place has been completely abandoned, and nobody is able to go inside. I wonder what it'll look like 100 years completely untouched.

Probably scary as FUCK.

[kapsi]

@Doodorz In 100 years all the buildings will break down...there's already trees everywhere. In 100 years there will be a forest with some ruins and rubble.

[MangledMaggie]

@kapsi it'll take alot more then 100 years probably. Ecspecially with how cold russia is all the time.

[gunzt3rkenfu92]

@Doodorz

You wanna see a scary abadoned city you can just head on over to Detroit.

Last I went there part of he downtown and a large part of the suburbs are abandoned. It's as if a nuke fell and everyone was evactuated and never returned. All the houses and skyscapers were abadoned, it looked kind of like a Fallout game. You could tell people lived there though since there were needles everywhere.

But still, you should check it out if this type of stuff interest you.

[xSFU420x]

@gunzt3rkenfu92 no shit, all around mexico town, in det. its bad.

[Muzitasticno]

I couldn't find any photos/videos from inside the HOUSES in Chernobyl (e.g the rooms, furniture). I suppose nobody has ever been in.

[Gencturk92]

i would love to go in those buildings and live there all my life.

[MaeXXXerine]

@Gencturk92 then go i guess u dont need to pay rent

[Gencturk92]

@MaeXXXerine yeah, i wonder if they do tours. would be great to visit. think about it, if you was living in those buildings, your in your own world.

[MaeXXXerine]

@Gencturk92 im in my own world bro i dont need to go to abandoned and radiated areas where i would live 10 years less then i would do where im at atm and its russia think of it

[Gencturk92]

@MaeXXXerine i was asking if they do tours, i dont care where you live

[panka42]

@thapsykotic1 Yes, but today nuclear power plants work differently than the one did in Prypiat. A catastrophe like that is simply impossible to happen today. Do you think people didn't learn anything from that?

[MaeXXXerine]

@panka42 u think they did??think they´ll ever do?think squirrels have a 2meter long dick?

[king433hj]

@panka42 haha remember fukushima

[MrHolabogalog]

well. that was an unespected little treat for my sub lol.

@Strpure4ewerVideos Do us a favor and fuck yourself.

[Arashieatssweets]

@Strpure4ewerVideos ah feck ther's the cod quotes

[Watchmaker312]

Great video.

[EFFANDJEFF]

The poetic allegory of the motionless ferris wheel is quite haunting.

[stefaan10111992]

Too sad that when people hear 'chernobyl', they immediatly start thinking about games. I too have played CoD mw and all of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, but the still ongoing tragedy comes closer to my mind then the games...

[drummit222]

@stefaan10111992 i know what u mean...

[xBenzi]

@stefaan10111992 Well, really these games taught some people about the disaster. I myself knew very little about it but the games made me want to do more research into the disaster.

[stefaan10111992]

@xBenzi Positive thing surely, but that's just what makes it so sad, if it wasn't for the games, there would nobody left who cares about it

[dkthg]

@stefaan10111992 MW3 coming soon!!

[stefaan10111992]

@dkthg got no idea, does it also have a level in Chernobyl?

[porkyminch01]

@stefaan10111992

>Implying that this does not makes men incredibly tall

[IceOnFlames12]

@stefaan10111992 my aunt was from pripyat she was sixteen when she had to evacuate.

[stefaan10111992]

@IceOnFlames12 sad to hear. Where was she moved to after the evacuation?

[HLimmen]

@stefaan10111992 that's what's supposed to happen. That's what the game-devs intended.

[snorhrfbgv]

2:46 sniper hotel in cod 4 modern warfare

[thepicops]

2:46 It's the same hotel where Lft. Price and Cpt. MacMillan go to the top and snipe Zakhaev in Call of Duty 4.

[mikicgorijan]

yes that woul be so cool stalker shadow of fukushima

[harajukumoon]

how come somebody not know when you talk about Chernobyl or Pripyat?

[iRishhuntZboosters]

has the guy who filmed this been affected even a little by filming this? and was he not a bit nervous about filming there?

[NastyKittie]

@iRishhuntZboosters its safe to pass a day there while moving but staying for more is dangerous

[jonathan401]

So a certain "ecology minister" has declared "now is an indecent time to debate nuclear energy," yet it's a-OK for many online news outlets to post Breaking News about how the Fukushima meltdown is affecting world stock prices. Funny how that works..

[xxltms]

Is it the same thing that's going to happen at Fukushima? Hope not! Maybe they developed some new technology that allows them to contain a lot better the radiations resulted from the damaged nuclear plant ...

[TheFree33333]

@xxltms It isn't about whether they have the technology , Japan has been devastated and left in ruin .

They don't have the resources to deal with imminent risk of worldwide fallout - I would advise building yourself a nuclear bunker or knowing where one is. Just in case.

[MultiAREE]

@thapsykotic1 People will always pay the price for misuse of something so powerful. On the other hand, the air will be much cleaner in the rest of the world

[caridadk]

the landscape reminds me of call of duty 4

[XultimativX]

@caridadk lol.

[Umenyiora922]

@caridadk That's because Call of Duty 4 had a mission in Pripyat. Remember the sniper stealth mission? Does that Ferris wheel and pool look familiar to you?

[caridadk]

@Umenyiora922 omg your right thats why it rang a bell and yes i remember no wonder the city was a ghost town haha! and yes the sniper mission where no matter were u shoot u always rip off the mans arm!

[floopy312]

@Umenyiora922 When i see the pool i said OMG!! the pool of COD4!!! is identical!! LOL

[SilenceCoD]

@floopy312

Yes ! :)

[MultiAREE]

@thapsykotic1 You really think there is something better than nuclear power out there?

[IGetBETTERcriticals]

I love how people keep mentioning video games. This shit really happended and thousands upon thousands were affected. Way to show respect for the people that were there and experienced the horror this disaster. Assholes.

[gab1971]

This would be great for GTA

[shfbdfi1273]

Will I get radiation by watching this?

[caridadk]

@shfbdfi1273 lol love that

[AgentPunisher]

fifty thousand people lived in here.....Now it is a ghost town.....

[Mkeffer13]

So is the nuclear plant and it's surrounding areas like Pripyat still abandoned and trashed like it was in the video?

[Bernstein1917]

@Mkeffer13 Not sure, but if the warnings are any indicator, you wouldn't want to get close. The reactor sarcophagus is cracked and will continue leaking hazardous radiation for, well, nobody knows exactly how long. But essentially, don't go close. You will be irradiated, you may eventually die, and no amount of sightseeing is worth that.

[fishkicker84]

want to go there soooo bad

[SovetskyySoyuzah]

@fishkicker84 Weird cunt, why would anyone wanna go there..

[vigo894]

@SovetskyySoyuzah= Cause they're stupid, that's why.

[anyadatszopdle]

hunt for artifacts!!!

[GiveMeBass93]

Stalker an emission is about to hit! Get to cover.

[Earlythomas]

So very sad, thank you for sharing.

[Canadabob99]

If the radiation is so bad, why are you there looking around?? If you want to see an abandoned city, go to DETROIT

[paintballer9110]

50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town. ~ Captain MacMillan.

[spllen2]

I first found out about all of this from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare untill i found out that my granddad is was Ukrainian so i wanted to  look into it a bit more its remarkable what nuclear power can do this took me by shock one day i wish to go to pripyat to see it first hand.

[bcbk93]

To watch this.....is to have your very soul destroyed.....every human bieng should see this.....this is what nuclear power is capable of......it has destroyed this beautiful land....these beautiful people....thier life.....everything......and it still affects them......:(

[sleethertheslayer]

Aswell when this Vid was flimed that is (7th August) that is my B'day!!

[kkww8963]

04:12 where u do the last stand in COD4

[sleethertheslayer]

@kkww8963 At 2:37 is also the building where we snipe Zakhev it's the exact same buiding :D

[Halliday57]

I'd like to go to pripyat

[Balenza345]

Is Sharon Stone narrating this?

[boomwa2002]

@HologramDnB only lead and water and concrete really protect the body from radiation. the suits (PC's - protective clothing - in the nuclear world terminology) protect you from getting contaminated by radiated particles from getting on you and giving off radiation that way. people dont understand the difference from contamination and radiation...just goes to show the media confuses the people

[cvitko95]

like time stops in this town 

[ginny7676]

I'm not a doomsday theorist, just to be clear. It does, however, concern me that as the Soviet Union did *and does still to today* the Japanese are currently downplaying the levels of radiation being leaked. I don't worry for myself, but even if they magically got it fixed today the effects will stay with Japan for many...many years.

[TheDeadSplayer]

IF they would have trained ,those who worked there at the moment of the explosion ,better we possibly wouldn't had this accident at all. As far as i know the workers disabled the fourth reactor's safety system (or something like that) because they were suppose to do somekind of tests with it, but unfortunately they had some poorly trained nightworkers there who made a mistake and... well...here we are now.

So there was a possibility of evading this accident.

[o0traumahound0o]

The head engineer was running the test with less water than what was considered safe according to code. Plants often cut corners like this in order to save money. Also, the reactor had design flaws that were never explained to the engineers. These flaws were the result of lack of funding during the building process. Thus, even the engineers best decisions were poor because these decisions were based on ignorance. Many people had a hand in causing this accident. Lesson: Don't be too cheap!

[Psychedelia1969]

how did you guys get to go on to the grounds?

[CakeIsOssim]

It amazes me to think that an entire city of 50,000 people could be evacuated, then left as a ghost town for about 25 years. Nothing but a concrete jungle. Wow....just wow. That'd be perfect for War Games or Paintball :D lol but seriously. It just makes me go "Wow..."

[CRAZYASFUK1]

JAPAN

[MrErede]

you got some balls to do this when radiation is so high

[biddlybongbong]

i have to say... at 2:46... isn't that the building where you snipe zakhaev in CoD 4?

damn man it was a nice city fuck the people ho did these to the town

[eviltube1111]

awesome video. I didn't have to go read Wikipedia to find out what Pripyat was.

[DAROMSninja]

why would you go there when the levels of radiation are high?

[TheSnuggleBugg]

[PitbullNL]

so cool to see a town wich still looks like 1986!

[AnaloBrutalo92]

@PitbullNL hmm.........I think it doesn´t look like it looks back in 1986^^

It looks more like Fallout 3 or something else.

Scary, that something like this can be truth.

Hope Japan will fix their nuclear power station in Fukushima.

[lobsterface65]

It was about 18 years ago... I was a British Specials Forces Operator tasked with assassinating an Arms dealers trafficking in Nuclear Materials. I hit him but he survived and was chased down by Mercenaries until we made our stand by the Ferris Wheel. It took almost 15 min for Big Bird to extract us, under intense enemy fire.

Its almost like time its self is frozen in place leaving a rotting history. 

[JstHayleyM]

its just so weird how something so devastating and horrific can give an aftermath of something so beautiful. I like devastation and chaos in the form of photography. I hope some day I can go there.

[nickking98]

As seen in cod 4

[mrspivvy]

an excellent film. I remember this event very well. I'd like to visit one day

[yeshmayn]

damn did this city have a monorail, god dammit soviets. and im wondering if you happen to have tinfoil in your pocket will ur balls go retarted??? and why didnt they talk about the RED FOREST, going with in feet of it can kill you? and last has anyone seen hot tub time machine hahaha

[dudeofcows]

reaction@uraniummillings

i know what you mean the russians had a switch that can kill the safety features. and at tsjernobyl each fuel rod had a seperet cooler. in the western world there is one cooler this works better because ist simpel

[JasonJason210]

The design flaws of the RMBK reactor (high positive void coeffiecient) at Chernobyl is one of the factors that caused the disaster, but not the only one. Poor operation practice and maintenance were also to blame. Also, there are still 11 RMBK reactors in operation in Russia.

[UraniumMillings]

@JasonJason210

Certainly no one hear is saying the design flaws solely caused the disaster. The operation at Chernobyl broke several guidelines because they were implementing and aggressive plan to test the turbine. Though the operation began the disaster, the magnitude of the results was definitely the result of design flaws. Positive void coefficients are not acceptable in Western designs and the lack of containment permitted the release of radionuclides.

[UraniumMillings]

@JasonJason210

Additionally, when TMI had its meltdown, the design characteristics of the plant minimized the impact to the public. It just goes to show how proper design (even with the design failures that TMI had to get to meltdown stage) is so important...

[JasonJason210]

I've also noticed that many people under the age of 20 have never heard of this accident. I think this accident should be covered in school curriculums.

[EvilGamerofDeath]

I actually find the ghost quite amazing. I mean, sure, its a disaster but in a way really interesting how it was just abandoned.

[dikkefuck123456789]
