Chernobyl....

[Vakuzal]

What a sin, that's sad for the Russian's to have their world burnt to ashes, what memories are lost here, it used to be a beautiful place, now it's all rusted, burnt, and falling apart. What has happened to us in the world?

[tinytoes409]

Great video!!! Best picture of The Red Forrest! I have been on EVERY site and I have never seen most of these pictures...Excellent!

[Linkinkarcsi]

The largest catastrophe in the modern history. :(

[cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx]

i thought they sealed off the blown reactor with concrete

[TheBlackMessenger]

Concrete can't stop the radiation, yes a little but it doesnt make much difference...

[cmjmkcapbpjhdsatjx]

it wat hiroshima and nagasaki and three mile island are built on but every year it corrodes more and more

[iPodGuyDK]

They did, but it's not helping that much!

[SectorSos]

they did. And now they are building new sarcophagus over the old one. I visited Pripyat and chernobyl last spring. Its a site to see indeed. Scary, very very scary

[tinytoes409]

@SectorSos Since you were there in the Spring did you hear any Birds??? I hear it's very eerie and quiet. Seems that most people go in the winter months because it is soo overgrown.

[SectorSos]

@tinytoes409 , no you can hear birds. Alot of them! Wild life is booming over there. I was there in early april, so it was not to overgrown. It was a great experiance, very erie place indeed.

[tinytoes409]

@SectorSos Thanks for your reply!! (and for serving our country!!) I have talked to many people that have visited Chernobyl...never an American! When I talk of Chernobyl most Americans really know nothing about it and think I'm messing with them when I tell them that you can tour the area. So, do they give you a clean vehicle everytime you go in the city? I would think it would absorb radioactive particles.

[mi124]

@SectorSos Good for you. Only thing i had, are are promises... How about the new sarcophagus ? If i right, they are building a new disposal facility there too.

[games4u2ube]

chernobyl now the ghost town :((

[mindenkisenki]

Name of Song?

[limatedman]

sorry wrong 1

[mindenkisenki]

pls, send to me in mail the name of song. tnx

[limatedman]

i cant remenber the name but if you type in (on utube) 28 days later soundtrack it should be there.

[mi124]

In the house - In a Heartbeat

[meshkis666]

fucking reactor

[tbeni92]

Hát nem semmi ez az egész... :(

[ReinisReinisReinis]

well, they wanted to send my father to measure the radioactive contamination and to design maps showing the critical areas. He evaded this

[kukufuka]

I think so this is very horrible

[projectdarkgrey]

OMFG where do you people get your information from Get some studying done before you start dabbling in debate you're not informed in!!

[WojciechSz]

I agree with you. And this comment from ricardorsilva just made me laugh... expedition from Brasilia to Chernobyl lol :P

[moicest]

it is so sad

watch this

but it is real

i think this

worls drive crazy

every day

really no ane knows

what`s happened throug the me`s mind

right?

[CrudeDude]

Apparently they lugged it, sucked a sleeve and it threw a rod. Shoulda downshifted.

[ricardorsilva]

My uncle whas from an expediction to chernobyl,the group had 20 men, none of them came back,they died in the red forest,in a litte house,my uncle`s corpse whas never found.

[fraiadyemanja]

OMG.....Radiation....kill so many i sorry about your uncle.

[projectdarkgrey]

An authoritative UN report in 2000 concluded that there is no scientific evidence of any significant radiation-related health effects to most people exposed. This was confirmed in a very thorough 2005-06 study.

[Ying120485]

then how could these people die,if that really proven,ask that scientist to expose himself with radiation to prove his fact

[projectdarkgrey]

The Chernobyl disaster caused a few tens of immediate deaths due to radiation poisoning; a few thousand premature deaths are predicted over the coming decades. Since it is often not possible to prove the origin of the cancer which causes a person's death, it is difficult to estimate Chernobyl's long-term death toll, which is still a hotly-debated issue.

[projectdarkgrey]

According to the IAEA only 4000 deaths were related to the disaster, but new studies challenge this report and say that up to 90,000 deaths and casulties CAN BE attributed to radiation fallout from Chernobyl.

Please. Go to a library & do some real research.

Then, you can talk to the grown-ups.

[ricardorsilva]

Can you give me the exact name of the music please????

[GarlicToast]

It is from the 28 Days Later soundtrack. I can't remember which song this is, as there were many remixes of it on the cd...it's the main theme though.

[bindmall]

no the men of chernobl were not lied to. They knew exactly what was going to happen to them, and they went in anyway. genuine heros

[projectdarkgrey]

(bindmall) As a totalitarian government, the Soviet Union provided many young soldiers to assist with the cleanup of the Chernobyl accident, but did not provide many of them with adequate protective clothing...or with any explanation of the dangers involved. This is fact!!

[Kay20061986]

An die Gedenken der Opfer aus Chernobyl.

Wir trauern mit.

[klipsch21]

hey that guy on the left at 2:31 looks like saul of the mole men

[dherbak]

I think that the soldiers, firemen, liquidators didn't want to do this. They had to. Oh my God, the lies of communism... but a thing like this cannot be gainsaid. But they tried hard.

[klipsch21]

of course they had to, im pretty sure some of them were lied to as well, they were probably werent told about radiation until they reached the site

[grindingsilence]

hey, it´s the music from "28 weeks later". Great video!

[telestar1]

What now? Maybe there isn't any other solution, but to build another sarcophaghus...form who could they get the money for it, that's a better question.

[mi124]

maybe IT has a littlebit unusual radioactive level... Yes they solved the problem for a while, but what now ?

[telestar1]

I hope, that this beautiful owl isn't ill...

Yes, they made it quite well,even if many people don't understand. If they didn't made their job so quickly, the Iodid tablets couldn't help us that days.

God bless all the liquidators, especially the helicopter pilots, who must have been the healthiest men for their jobs, and died two days after their task...

[mi124]

I really thx for anybody who watch and rate this video and sits silent for a moment.

[StalkerDerwen]

I really like the music. It fits perfectly.

[Ilasi]

yeap they did a splendid work ariund chernobyl the firemans the soldiers and all who died there to save Europe do you think that the second sarcophagus will be finished?

[mi124]

nice thoughs....thx

[mi124]

they not fighting to get those jobs..They had orders TO DO THOSE JOBS. And if they were not "fix" the powerplant and clean the surrounding area (so die for their country and for some others) nobody do it, and we are in a big trouble right now.. but the price was too high..these pictures are dedicated to their sacrifice. Thx the ratings and the comments.

[Wafflepudding]

Indeed, but the Soviet government caused this accident in the first place with a flimsy reactor design, ordering a risky experiment and building the reactor so close to an inhabited area. Indeed they were brave and thanks to their sacrifice, most of the radioactive materials are still buried inside the sarcophagus, and Europe is safe, for the time being. The best way to honor them would be to finish that second sarcophagus so that their sacrifice has meaning.

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

Reactors are usually built round cities... the cities are for the people that work at the plant... theres another nuclear power plant that i saw near Kursk... it stands in a little town of Kurchatov but from a distance it looks like a small city with all its apartment buildings.

[klipsch21]

if you saw from google earth you would see that kursk npp looks alot like chernobyl

[Chips95]

Both smolensk and kursk npp looks the same

as chernobyl 3-4

[educatedguess1]

All they did was to encase the whole reactor in, I believe, 2 million yards of concrete. The workers were not told of the dangers associated with radiation poisoning. They were fighting to get those jobs, because of extra meat rations! The area is still hot, the half life is a long time, ask any physics major... My mom has always told me, "Be thankful you were born in America" I am, indeed.

[Wafflepudding]

You do realize, you could have been born on or around one of the hundreds of superfund sites in America and be exposed to so much carcinogenic chemicals it would make the exclusion zone look puny by comparison? need I remind you that until recently stuff like asbestos and PCB laden plastics were commonly used as building materials in schools? It's no better anywhere, profit (or cost reduction) always makes the common good take a backseat.

[gingafuzz]

Great soundtrack....anyone know what/who it is?

[SomethingTested]

The music is from the movie 28 Days Later - In the house/in a heartbeat.. Hope this helps.
