  • These "biorobots", who were they? Soldiers, prisoners? Their lives were sacrificed to clean up the place and I assume most, if not all, are dead by now.

  • I can't help but be fascinated by this disaster and the human race when it comes to both ignorance, and extreme bravery. It's such a shame. Had the actions in the control room played out differently, and those workers running the reactor had disregarded their direct order to run the test at those conditions, my gut instinct says this would of never happened. God bless them all. And let's all hope nothing as catastrophic happens again. I'm all for nuclear power, but not when it disregards safety.

  • 6:13 -is that a bird suddenly crashing or part of the roof falling off?

  • it's really incredible that the still intact reactor nr. 3 was operating until 2000. This is what humankind has learned after this tragedy... :(

  • good work

    

  • there are still people living in the buildings but they have been contaminated by the redioactivaty and therefor die in later years.

    the people who still live thare get there food by

  • NOBODY lives at the buildings of the Prypiat...Prypiat was abandoned after the reactor explosion and nobody returned.Nobody could live in the city after the accident.Some locals only live in some o f the vilages of the 30km area.They never left.Please be accurate of what you are posting.

  • It was a terrible tragedy :-(

    Was it taking so much to realize some things? I don't think so

  • you write "It was a terrible tragedy"

    It IS a terrible tragedy.

    In the Chernobyl area today employs thousands of people to the liquidation of accident

  • All because of some stupid tests.......

  • They NEEDED to be done though.. testing to see if the reactor could continue running in the event of a power failure or something if memory serves.

  • Yeah right! I know that some test have to be done but..

    Due to electrical failure the test were made by a nightshift, whom were not prepared/properly instructed.

    Eventually they over exceeded the generator it's max 10 times....

    Human flaw!

    About any life in the area..

    All contaminated/deformed..

    After 26-04-86 thousands of people refused to leave Tjernobyl, in 2006 only hundreds alive. Due to the extreme high fall-out, wich will remain for thousands, if not, millions of years..

    Peace!

  • Yea but the thing is that the reactor had huge flaws that the scientists were unaware of, so really it isn't their fault.

    BUT.. considering that the highest ranked engineer in there that night told them to run the reactor at a power level of 200(something) when the minimum recommended is 700(something) he may be the one to blame.

  • (Continued...)

    The question remains, if he had let the other engineers run it at 700(something) like they were supposed to, would the reactor have gotten through the 45 or so second wait for the diesel power generator to activate?

    If it would've worked fine.. then the blame is truly that engineer's fault who INSISTED to run it at 200.

    Sorry, damn 500 character limit stopped me from writing anymore.

  • Yeah.. you know the facts as well.

    I ain't got questions left.. It's all clear to me, human flaw with disastrous concequences, too many people had lost their lives since..As the fact of the matter, whole Europe had to face the cloud of disaster... Contaminate millions of people with small particles wich most likely lead to cancer.. Each is one to many but "They" all got it calculated... It's a true sad world... Salut from the Netherlands!

  • Terrible accident! Let's pray that something like that will never happen again

  • dead men walking.....

  • You said it. It is just mind blowing that everyone that you saw in this video is probably dead. Long dead. The radiation was so high and the care to protect the people from it so low, very little chance any of these people are still live today.

  • i heard about it that there are a lot kind of new plants and animimal which were havent seen before as a result of the disaster.. is intresting...

  • yes you are right it is interesting to go in one of this forests full of radiation and meet a strange hungry goose waiting for you to come closer to cut you in pieces with its sharp modified teeth and eat you

  • There is a black bacteria growing on the inner wall of reactor 4 discovered by a robot...Nature will win it just takes a long time

  • there are no words for this desaster

    the miners are the real heroes, they saved the world

  • man i feel for those people,we had war in Bosnia ,almost as bad and to those that didn't make it May God Rest Their Souls

  • is there ever gonna be life there?

  • not for 7 hundred years

  • Experts say it has gone so long without human care its basically fubar. They also said it will be around 300 years til the area around is safe, The reactor itself wont be safe for 700-900 years. I may be wrong so dont quote me on that.

  • In a 100's of years

  • no, around 1000 years

  • For real

  • yes many thousands of years for the radioactive atoms to decay.

  • about 900

  • Animal life still exist in the area, some settlers still live in the exclusion zone, the returned to their homes after the accident.. I don't think anyone actually lives in or REALLY close to the city itself though.

  • I know a man who worked after acsident in Pripyat!he is alive but he can't have a kids with his wife!He is about 50 years!It so sad!!

  • This is really extreme...

  • did the helicopter colapsed just because of "nothing" ?????

  • It lost its bearing for some reason and crashed into that beam

  • It lost its bearing for some reason and crashed into that beam

  • no the helicopter flew in an inviseble radioactive plum and the pilot lost got to many raidiation and pased out and didnt see the cables so he flew into them.

    Srry for my english if its not so good

  • Ah ok.

  • Ah ok.

  • Your an idiot!! It was called pilot error, yes... its really that simple.. thats what caused the crash... don't try to make out to be more than it was. People make mistakes.. the pilot did... and it caused the death of 4 people.

  • This may be the likely cause and what I personally believe but who are you to say he wasn't surcome to some effect of the radiation and caused the crash?

    Unless you were in the cockpit next to him don't automatically assume you are right and cal others idiots..

  • Not sure about the pilot passing out, and probably no one wil but you cn clearly see the blades shattering as it hits a steel cable, probably from one of the cranes.

    This is a classical scene from the disaster There are better anlges on youtube.

  • i cant belive they onl sent in soldiers with masks to protect against chemicals! fools! did they not know you can stop radiation with a mere mask?!

  • Helps against radioactive dust.

  • Yes. But not against the equally deadly levels of background radiation.... :-)

  • not against radiation itself.

  • not against radiation itself.

  • One things for sure, that "cover" isn't going to last for long. It will either melt away, releasing radioactive gases into all of Europe, or blow up, doing the same, unless we build a new one!

  • Indeed, the "Sarcophagus" is currently in shambles. It was only designed to last about 20 years or so, and we have already reached that point.

    Scientists fear that it will soon collapse under it's own weight, and as a result, an enormous amount of highly radioactive dust will be dispersed (once again) across the region.

  • That's why there's a French company that received a ~$1.6billion (US) contract as the lead in a consortium to build a 'New Safe Confinement', which is already well underway. Google it. Though even THAT is only going to last a couple hundred years at best, and this site will be screwed for ~50k years...

  • All this time i've read up about this incident and I never knew someone crashed into it trying to dump the sand, rough.

    Sad video this one, every single person in it would have died within weeks of being there, sometimes days :(

  • all the firefighters did'nt have the clothes to pertect them from the radiation, so all of them worked until their death.

  • There is virtually no form of clothing that can protect humans from strong doses of radiation.

    Even in doctor's offices, the lead aprons that the place on patients prior to X-Rays are only capable of filtering out a small percentage of the ionizing rays that the patient is subject to while being x-rayed.

  • did liquidation work?

  • There really was no actual "liquidating" (or "liquifying') of anything. "Liquidators" was just the overall term applied to the entire effort of quickly removing all of the radioactive debris subsequent to the disaster.

  • i want to go there so bad and check it out and stuff

  • What happened In This Town??

  • This town is the village of Prypiat, which is located just north of the Chernobyl plant. Most of Prypiat's residents were employed at Chernobyl, and Prypiat served as a small town to house them and their families.

  • Unfortunately, when the reactor exploded, strong winds carried much of the highly radioactive debris northward, where it fell sliently over the Prypiat's sleeping residents. Because of this, a complete evacuation of the entire town was ordered two days later.

  • Wow first time I see this video :s too bad, all thoses peoples in the video died with lot of pain. They will stay in memory.

  • Indeed, and hopefully, the entire Chernobyl incident will never be forgotten by future generations of mankind. Those who do not learn from the mistakes of other's are doomed to repeat them. ;-)

  • well , I think some military leaders should have a nuclear reactor right down their office, just for the people's security...

  • Ta Elna to oszustka
