@cardinalfan524 No they didn't. The radiation level was so high at that time that just 2 hours around that thing was enough and that chopper was around there for a while. This was probably the last video the guy ever shot
@olvanish This was not the last film Vladimir Shevchenko shot...he continued to shoot in and around Chernobyl / Pripyat for several days including filming the liquidators as they shoveled the highly radioactive graphite debris from the roofs of the plant. He died in 1987. He claimed that when he stuck his head out of the chopper he got dizzy instantly and lost all sense of time and sound. I think however filming on the roof was where he got his highest doses.
Actually the video quality was WAY better then this.. the radiation was so powerfull that even the quality of filming reduced.. (This is not a joke.. Watch the documentary of it the man himself is telling this)
damn irresponsible people. do you realize they didn't say anything for at least a week. only when our satellites found out, they admitted there was an accident. bastards!!!!
@UL439 the people in Pripyat weren't notified for 36 hours after the accident... and that was only after radiation levels set off alarms in surrounding countries
@googlememaby It's not radio waves, it was high level gamma radiation, and it most certainly would destroy a camera, much less anything else that was unlucky enough to be that close at the time.
@googlememaby its not just Radio Waves dude. It is Electromagnetic Radiation. EM Radiation includes Radio Waves, Microwaves, Gamma Rays, X Rays, Infrared radiation, Ultraviolet radiation, and visible light. EM Radiation can certainly screw with Electrical equipment by causing current and voltage surges.
can somebody translate what the pilot/photographer talking?

At the end of the video, that noise is the radiation breaking the camera. Scary stuff!

No it's not. Radio waves (radiation) would not affect the camera in any way.
