Chernobyl disaster (Ukraine 1986) part 3 of 10

[150bloods]

MY GOD WHAT KIND OF FACTORIES ARET WE ALLOWING TO EXIST!!!!!

[blackwolfhannah15]

i find it amusing that the soviet union had done less about the explosion than the surrounding countries

[DannyBruiz]

I don't understand...Why are any people or country or government, corporations screwing around with this deadly chemical? How many more experiences, or death does it take to realize, we have no idea what this shit actually does?

[Gaysluuut]

i wish they wouldnt have shown the burns i trew up in my mouth...

[hiusze]

The way of handling of situation was different between Chernobyl and Fukushima also, I think Fukushima is bad, but can't compare with Chernobyl. IAEA's scale 1 to 7 came up after the Chernobyl's accident and the standard is more for engineer to follow up the incident.

Chernobyl informed the citizens after 3 days of explosion, and happened massive radiation exposure without protection. However, Fukushima city was mostly being vacuum and the reactors are water pressure than graphite.

[deaconredwhiteandblu]

"No more chernobyl!" "Go to hell" *Throws thing at heckler*

[autentyk]

the name of the newspaper "pravda" means "truth"..

[sadieblooming]

I agree with a huge pyramid of concrete to cover the entire powerplant. Pyramids generate a positive energy in its center. Radiation is a negative energy from the underworld. Some power plants are even named "Diablo" or devil.

[digimaks]

@sadieblooming Are you the one to risk your life to go there to that death zone and build pyramid?

[sadieblooming]

@digimaks Yes, maybe, if they allow me. Since the radiation is pretty low now, people can be right next to that thing. But the current structure will eventually become contaminated, a new one will have to be put on top of that.

[analyzingfunny]

@sadieblooming No radiation is not "pretty low" now. Go there, live, then die, you stupid fucker.

[sadieblooming]

@analyzingfunny I'd rather die saving something. People can be exposed to a certain amount and still live.

[analyzingfunny]

@sadieblooming So you would rather die saving something we dont need? Google "free geet plans"; engines/power generators run on 80% water.

[partyongarth420]

we should try and conserve electricity the best we can. that will help a bit.. its tough because other methods of making electricity such as coal are dirty.. thats mostly where we get our energy from is coal and that puts out a lot of muck

[Tommiclio]

Every government in the world should watch this.....

The get rid of the nukes!

Why does any world...any country.....any one...need nukes! Its just crazy!!

[KayBeeEee1983]

@Tommiclio "Why does any world...any country.....any one...need nukes! Its just crazy!!"

If everyone has nukes, that ensures that nukes are never used. The only time nukes were ever used was at the end of WW2, at a time when no one had them except the USA. If the UN makes everyone give up their nukes, you can be sure that the one psychopathic nation that keeps some secretly hidden away will use them.

But, if by "nukes" you mean "nuclear power plants" well then you're just an idiot. Good day.

[Tommiclio]

@KayBeeEee1983 Yes i mean Nukes as in the ones Japan was hit by.

[tt247jer]

god help us in Japan

[chi3i]

@tt247jer The problems in Japan aren't remotely similar - pressure vessels are intact as are containment buildings (Chernobyl had no containment building). Chernobyl was an exposed core (still fissioning), and graphite fires spreading radiation.

[digimaks]

@chi3i you know nothing about nuclear reactors and each situations overall. please research and then say. Stop trying to say that Japan disaster is not that bad. It's VERY BAD!

[chi3i]

@digimaks Japan Score: >10,000 dead and >15,000 missing from 2 natural disasters. 0 dead from radiation (admittedly several very expensive reactors are trashed, but they were nearing the end of their lives). People living in Cornwall have been exposed to more radiation than people outside the Japanese plant.

Meanwhile since the quake/tsunami hundreds have died in mining accidents and thousands have died prematurely from respiratory diseases link to fossil fuel particulates.

[kiu124]

do u mean if any one of the nuclear plan in japan explode,the radiation will spread over 30km within 6 days??!...omg..i'm dying;_;

i hope the japanese gov don't cover the truth just because they don't want to make their people in panic..

[holy1337]

@kiu124 You have scientists, journalists, boats army from other countries monitoring the situation. Good luck!

[KayBeeEee1983]

@kiu124 If any nuclear plant on earth EXPLODES, then the area is screwed, but there's no risk of explosion. Try to stay calm. An above-average Japanese High School Physics student in 2011 probably knows more about nuclear energy than the entire Russian government in 1986. Go look up the "International Nuclear Event Scale". This documentary is just for people who want to laugh at the ineptitude of the USSR (And it does a first rate job of that, in my opinion)

"It was Sweden that alerted us!"

[kiu124]

i am so scared..will japan or even the asian countries become like this??

i wanna cry...my god;_;

[qwertyu14361]

@kiu124 ...No. Chernobyl was a level 7 nuclear disaster, the worst in history. The recent events in Japan are a level 3. In Chernobyl's case, it is a major hazard to everyone in the region for years to come, while in the second case, it's mostly the workers in the plant who are in danger, with only relatively minor effects to the general public other than things. Negative effects, yes, but not nearly on the same scale.

[Airs8tronic]

@qwertyu14361 its been declared a level 6 by multiple countries, japan considers it a level 4.

partial meltdown and release of radioactive material and gases into the environment.

[KayBeeEee1983]

@Airs8tronic @qwertyu14361 @kiu124 According to BBC News, as of March 18 "Japan's nuclear safety agency has uprated its assessment of the Fukushima power station incident from a level four to a level five."

"Radiation levels would then be very high around the plant, which is not to say they'd reach the general public...And we're definitely not in the situation where we're going to see another Chernobyl - that possibility has long gone."

Google - "Fukushima - disaster or distraction?"

[digimaks]

@qwertyu14361 - Now its level 7. And surely was, just media and authorities tried to cover up stuff trying to play safety game.

[AccordionManiac]

very depressing

[lalbruiz]

Damn. My respect to the helicopter pilots who were here...but something the narrator said impressed me..."top pilots are being rushed back from the afghan front..." I had forgotten the afghan conflict was happening during this, so these pilots came back from attacking people (maybe, I don´t know) to trying to save their people. Interesting.

[SCE2AUX]

Absolutely disgusting behavior by the Soviet government in failing to tell their citizens.

Absolutely heroic behavior by the Soviet military to cap that thing and save the lives of millions.

[miked9372]

@loeghat yes Ukraine continued to operate the remaining reactors at Chernobyl for many years. The last reactor at the site was closed down in 2000, 14 years after the accident.

[MrHumerousify]

i think they should have accidents like this all over the world,nuclear mass radiation exposed to contamination all everywhere,humanly impossible to stop it.2012 comes early.

[StalkingRainbow]

@MrHumerousify As they say, some men just want to watch the world burn. Thats you.

[kzam717]

@loeghat not exactly.They did in 87(!!)b/c they deemed it "safe for personal";block 2 got closed b/c of a fire in the turbines in'91.Block 1 in '96, Block 3 in 2000,b/c of pressure from the EU.The reactor was entombed,but apparently it's still not safe,b/c a new project was started in 2007:They build the new "coffin" next to the plant,then they want to set it on top first,before removing the old roof...sorry,if it doesn't sound much safer.

[GivenchyParisFr]

thats why there is a term called ''accident'' ... no blame to ukrainean ppl

[MrFenton1998]

fallout 5 for xbox360

[collegeman1988]

Leave it to a country's leader that he "had no idea what was going on".

[dayglo98]

just finished this game today ! and that's why i'm here too

[MediumLargeFries]

The unknown heroes against a silent killer...

[PanzerFrog]

Marked one still alive?

[cakemaster10]

@PanzerFrog Lol, I were actually lead to this documentary from some STALKER gameplay videos. However, I did know a lot about the chernobyl accident before that.

[SouthZooProductions]

thumbs up if those men r the bravest men in the world and if it wornt 4 them the radiation would have killed millions of people. :'( we all pray to you, out fallen heros.

[patrikasLTL]

Sunny day, not a single cloud, heat, green grass, a swarm of crickets create a haze of sound, there are no birds in the sky, the trees are blooming, a gust of wind blows, the trees make noise. Not a single man around. Invisible death in the air.

Menacing...

[rrraawwwkk50]

there's a very special place in hell for those high-up officials that let that happen.

[SWolvenProductions]

Those poor bastards...

They are heros.

[SWolvenProductions]

Those poor bastards...

They are heros.

[GoddessAlexiel]

Einstein must of been hella rolling around in his grave when this happened.

[gedviuxxx]

i cant balieve what sintoms they had!

[patrikasLTL]

i think they should just make a huge pyramid of concrete and cover the entire powerplant.

"there... good for another 5000 years!"

[thezuke]

we should all jack off onto it

[TORSOPHUCK]

5000 years?, thats half of the half-life of the radiation

[antho836]

when the pyramid gonna get down with time , wind , elements .... gonna come back . just think before talking

[patrikasLTL]

give me a better plan genius. the radiation is going to stay there virtually for ever. REBUILD the pyramind!

[MrMintox]

@patrikasLTL I think they did, they made a metal and concrete sarcophigus around the site now.

[analyzingfunny]

@patrikasLTL That is not a bad idea. Really the pyramid can do wonders to radiation.

[JonasClark]

@patrikasLTL That's similar to the current plan to build a sliding cover, which will be built beside the plant and then slid down rails to cover and completed in place.

[Nebulagirl]

@patrikasLTL the core could still move down toward the aquafer

[habbadou]

Very sad... These men are heroes.

[imicoi]

@habbadou tsk

[arbitar222]

they need boric acid and lead or lead pellets

[X3freako]

the expected people to be mutated into horrible mutants

[juniormyrick]

chernobyl, holocaust, 911, all beautiful....why....because without them....it would be in our future....rather than the past..sorry to all who it affected....but you are heros in history now we cant be lied to...thank you

[f14tomcatfreak]

WTF the cloud was so radioactive that they could pick it up with IR CAMS?Jesus fucking christ!

[thegirl44]

There was the byproducts of partially processed plutonium in that cloud, and the partially processed plutonium that it came from still sits in the Chernobyl sarcophagus.

[alphadot]

why didn't the usa offer to help?

no they only want to invade other countries for their own benefit and profit from that lands resource , and while the country struggles with poverty. clearly ignorance, and the ussr was not good with the us,

[makaveli087]

What the fuck would the USA do? Send the Marines to fight invisible radiation? That would've really helped.

[paulbigmac75]

why don't you offer to help now! why don't you move the fuck out of the US and go over there and help. Put your money where your liberal kool aid drinking mouth is you socialist idiot!

[paulbigmac75]

Why didn't Canada, Your country, offer to help? why don't you go over there and help now? Move there now you liberal Kool-Aid drinking idiot. God, Your asshole is hanging out all over the place. What a mind numb socialist moron.

[burnyourhonda]

you have to remember, at that time, ukraine wasnt "uklraine," it was part of Russia (USSR). so if we decided to walk into russia with equipment to fight radioactivity, and half of the russian goverment doesnt know whats going on, they might think we're declaring nuclear war!

[FELIKS2121]

most idiotic idea, keep it to yourself

[burnyourhonda]

no, i was explaining why America didnt get involved in cleaning up Chernobyl.

[nickpaulie]

No one tells why they didn't ask for help for example for USA. Why????

[Baronstone]

Because it was the USSR. They didn't trust the US.

[nickpaulie]

Yes remember the "Cold war" but dawn it this was radiation....I think that not to ask for help in such kind of disaster is kind of a murder

[Baronstone]

It was a mistake, but looking back we can see that. I feel sorry for the people that are still living with the fallout.

Thank goodness the new high heat liquid metal salt cooled reactors don't suffer from the same types of problems.

[thegirl44]

It was a seriously fucked up political time, nick, and we were fucked up along with it. I wish that I could send you the fear mongering propaganda that my mother in law kept from the cold war era. Every single bit of it carries the same message: USSR bad, us good.

If they had asked the States for help I'm not sure how North America would have rationalized to it's people that we were going to help.  We were made that ignorant, even to the fact that "those people" were human, same as us..

[axelivanhernandez]

TRUE...
