Chernobyl ( Evacuation and "repairs" )

[timeniazaipal]

My uncle (a doctor) was there - two trips. He said that immediately after the accident there was a feeling that the earth is burning under their feet - the temperature felt even through the rubber suit Radiological Protection

[zypherax]

Most of the 100,000 men who went in there to clear out the debris are dead. The same thing is happening in Japan right now.

[WillWorksCZ]

Godspeed You Black Emperor - East Hastings

[ClappedWolf]

Hele jak se prosím jmenuje ten song?

[mrti3]

Can somebody explain 3:00??? Is it because of radiation or what?

[SchranzPortal]

50.000 people

[paganarh]

4742 estonian soldiers were sent there, including two of my relatives. respect to them and respect to all the soldiers who shoveled radiated stuff in conditions where even machines didn't work.

[ElChileGrande]

At 3:03 did the chopper collapse from heat or hit the wires?

[ClappedWolf]

@ElChileGrande I think he hit those wires

[ultralooter]

its so sad to see those people that repaired it, being happy , while they maybe dont know they are dieng a week later. RIP all Heroes, legends!!!

[skyfallpurple]

You see thous remote control machines ?? thous things were send on that roof to do the dirty work but all of them broke down form radiation level after few hovers!!!!!! So the supervisors send simple workers on a sueside mission thous guys were told that its safe to work under less than 1min that was the time to get one peace of that radioactive graphite and trow it down from the roof and some even got medals for trowing 2 peaces at one time ........everyone died Sad story

[TaltosGirl]

Most of those workers must be dead by now!! Exposed to soooo much radiation just after it exploded. Since then the levels have died down a 'tiny' bit but then it was fresh and spilling like crazy!!

[xoxoJGWS]

@TaltosGirl People that have worked there on the roof say they can still taste the lead in their mouth.. yuck.. poor people(they used lead to try to seal the gaps but it didnt work, it got too hot and some of the lead vaporized in the sky)

[kingklutsklan]

only if i could speak russian

[subcomandantetroncos]

who's the band playng? very cool music! thnx for posting, rip to those heroes.

[Renew3D]

I just wonder one thing... the cooling security system was shut off for the experiment. Who gave the orders to do that, and why?

[RawSteelUT]

I imagine it was part of the experiment as they were trying to see how everythign performed in a low power environment. Problem is that when they told the plant workers to turn it all on again, they forgot to turn that particular piece of equipment back on.

[tschubb1992]

They turned off the cooling system to test the backup one but they started the test at too lower power and pulled to many control rods out to stop the reactor from dieing. Then they drop all the rods in to shut it down when it started to cook but this led to the reactor to go out of control.

[PHARRAOH]

i was 18 & @ work here in ca right after 1st break when the news hit this story. now more than 20 yrs later, I went to see it with my own eyes. worse than any vid can show. very sad.

[lawse294]

im so moved by this im crying im sorry

[underdog315]

excelent vid, with no doubt it all this was the worst accident in the human history... its a lame with all those people..

[vevericka2]

AWESOME VIDEO, this is EPIC

GREAT WORK

5*

[urban22s]

You can talk you misspelled more words wrong than in the video =/

[Pjove4]

At 3:00 all of the sudden the heli goes down. first thing i thought of was high rads killed the pilot? or just shitty commie engineering.

[vanbeukenmans]

no the pilot lost his bearings, and smashed the rotor blades in the crane

[C1u3z]

@vanbeukenmans Supposedly he was flying all day, and was exposed to too much Radiation, he was really sick and it caused him to "Lose his bearings" and crash the Heli.

[vanbeukenmans]

lolz thats what i said XD

[marenmarcochris]

It scares me to watch this. nobody knows the exact numbers of people who died or are ill due to this desaster. You did a great job with the video. I don't understand why the people do not learn of this!

Rest in peace brave men who tried to clean up the radioactive mess

[Todicarpe]

Rest in peace Great Biorobots!

[japopall]

A čo by ste povedali na to tý, čo tam chceme ísť, aby sme sa nejak dohodli a išli tam? Hoci vlakom z Užhorodu? čo vy na to?

[nanogear]

Great Great video!

[linopoli1580]

not repair.... is only ilucion

for God, diet healt in the word

no hay reparacion , es solo una ilucion

por Dios mataron la salud en el mundo

nuestros hijos lo sentiran....

[johnnyknoxvillesvk]

Keby sa mi naskytla možnosť ísť tam,tak tam idem...aj keby som mal zomrieť...je to srašne zaujímavé...česť všetkým,ktorý zomreli!!!

[WillWorksCZ]

No tahne mne to taky dost, uz jenom kvuli te atmosfere, kterou ono misto musi mit...

[speakone]

HEROES OF THE HUMANITY¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[elRABcz]

hodně emotivní... :(

[marialuisagab]

Thanks thanks thanks

[tiffyme]

Amazing footage and heart-wrenching.

[kristyna1986]

Blahopřeji, moc hezky udělané video se skvělou hudbou. Můžu se jenom zeptat, navštívil si Černobyl?

[elRABcz]

já bych tam moc rád vyrazil...

[WillWorksCZ]

Nebyl jsem tam, ale mít tu možnost, tak o ní budu velice vážně přemýšlet :-)

[Omdullla]

Ive heard u die if you stand too close to the ractor... isnt that true?

[WillWorksCZ]

In this dokument workers found a piece of reactor on the roof when he explode. The piece was so radioaktive then he might kill you in few hours. So its possible.

[xoxoJGWS]

@Omdullla At chernobyl, one man died the same day from instant radiationsickness, others that were close also suffered from radiationsickness, they all received such lare doses that most of them died within 14 days, after a horrible sickbed.

[SwartzGunther]

Nice video, what music is that?

[Yoshiki03]

The music is Godspeak you Black Emperor... something like that... they're Quebec anarchist DJ's.

This track is on the 28 Days Later OST (not this version though) during the build-up scene of walking through the empty streets of London.

[SwartzGunther]

Many thanks!

[almustafa1]

[Thedutchjelle]

Wow, lots of material i haven't seen before in this vid.. where did you get it from?

[m0destm0useisg0d]

very spooky film, the music was good as well, nicely done

[jbw1294]

oh yea i was watching this implosion show on national geographic and they imploded the Sellafield cooling towers

[jbw1294]

i only know of 3 nuclear disasters CHERNOBYL

SELLEFIELD AND 3 MILE ISLAND

[Thedutchjelle]

Go to the list of nuclear accidents on wikipedia and be suprised

[jbw1294]

in midland michigan USA my moms cousin was stacking bricks in 86 and they had to stop building that because of chernobyl idk why

[ScottM2495]

bcz the spread of radiation was so big, it reached many other countries

[stephenkennedy08]

yeah the waste traveld in the clouds causing acid rain in many countries

[projectdarkgrey]

Wow! I've been told off by someone who can't find the shift key, can't compose an English sentence, and who apparently can't read very well.

No one is going to state the obvious? Then the shameful duty falls upon me.

It was easy to ascertain that you're a nigger after all. All you had to do was open your mouth and talk like a nigger.

I do speak Spanish, I can also read and write it.

You must have been home schooled because your reading comprehension is not good.

[krashdown102]

wow a chopper crashed

[Mar1achI]

Please, give me the name of de song of this video. please, i need it. thanks.

[WillWorksCZ]

GOD SPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR - song EAST HASTINGS.

[whody2]

Sellafield ,Harrisburg do you remember that????Pozdrowienia

[CandideOptimus]

Yes, I do, but Chernobyl was the worst

[68chevelleSS396]

how many busses were there? looks like a thousand.

[RovaniemiMan]

Song name? And good vid !

[neyann]

that is so sad.

and awesome video btw.

[projectdarkgrey]

English is without a doubt the actual universal language. It is the worlds 2nd largest native language, the official language in 70 countries. These nations total 2.13 billion people & and have a combined GDP of 18 trillion US dollars.

The concept of a Universal Language is more significant now, in the era of world mass communication.

English in an easy language to learn, understand and speak.

It is the world media language, and the language of cinema, TV, music & the computer world.

[neyann]

oh, mr. "i will talk like a wikipedia"...

then explain me, why is there youtube germany, youtube poland etc?

they are in their language, but videos are still the same, so why should these people not have a right to express themselves in their own language?

and if you really wanna know the statistics, chinese is spoken by way more people then english. if we would follow your theory, how about we'll all lern chinese?

[projectdarkgrey]

Yeah, Im going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there

China is the most populated country in the world

Obviously, speaking chinese is only useful when dealing with chinese people

It is very difficult to learn, because of the tonal system, and complex ideographic writing. In my opinion is the most difficult language to learn & I sincerely compliment those who manage to do it

I can speak English and Spanish. Who knows, maybe Ill learn Chinese as well in the future

[neyann]

i know that most people in america has no interest in other cultures what-so-ever.

that doesn't excuse them from getting on other people just for not speaking english...

you know, i could tell you right now "you idiot, why don't you learn czech, as this video was posted by a czech guy, so we should all speak chech in here!"...

you see what i'm saying?

it's just hypocritical...

[projectdarkgrey]

It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.

[lumpyrabbit]

@neyann true. just some dumbass people make some of us Americans look like super jackasses

[lumpyrabbit]

@neyann true. just some dumbass people make some of us Americans look like super jackasses

[UtahRaider]

@neyann I'm American and I agree 100% even though your comment is 2 years old it is completely true also, chernobly was in the Ukraine so I would imagine that a large bulk of documentaries about it are not in English.

[Elainiwen]

@neyann Especially when the video has titles in english...

[rickyleoadams]

@neyann Please dont stereotype all Americans as hypocritical obnoxious assholes. I for one take great interest in other cultures and personally think its cool seeing people speak other languages on here. Its not the fact that they're American that makes them arrogant. Its most likely the age, I bet they are just a bunch of ignorant 12 year old kids.

[Kbabykgirlk]

English is easy to learn!So what????Who cares

???

[SBelektronics]

best video, worst disaster

sarkofag completed then people died

[BOBODEKAT]

nice video

[pro7slim]

La historia de Chernobyl me tiene intrigado. He visto todos los videos hacerca de chernobyl pero ninguno mejor como este. Esta de a wevo....!!!!! puta..... de veras......al principio parece el trailer de una pelicula.

[projectdarkgrey]

Speak English Dam it!! This is America.. learn the language or go back to mexico

[neyann]

first of all, not only people from USA have youtube.

as far as i know, America is a free country and there's freedome of speech. youtube is an international thing, so they can write in any language they want and you can't do anything about it.

and what you said just proves how narrow your mind is, if you think everyone should speak english. i feel sorry for you, that you don't see the beauty of the world that comes from so many differences between people and cultures.

so back off.

[WillWorksCZ]

Přesně tak.Souhlasím s tebou. Něco podobného sem chtěl také napsat :-)

[mrpinksgirl]

wiesz co jest jeszcze piękne?

mimo tego, że ty mówisz po czesku, a ja po polsku, to i tak siebie rozumiemy!

czy ten świat nie jest super?

pozdrawiam

[neyann]

to byłam ja, ten poprzedni komentarz. po prostu zalogowany był ktoś inny, a ja z rozpędu napisalam coś, a nie sprawdziłam czy jestem zalogowana pod moim nickiem... :)

[projectdarkgrey]

Yawn. Another "you must be a troll because you have a different viewpoint than me" comment. Not very original.

Do you not see the hypocrisy in your statements.

In America we are also free to express are opinions, even if they differ from yours or the millions of Illegal aliens INVADING my country robbing the American people of jobs, lost wages and taxs, expenses that myself and the rest of the Americans are picking up... I think you are the narrown minded one... you racist pos.

[neyann]

dude, i'm not even american.

and just because you're one of those people that think that the whole world should speak english...oh well.

i'm not even gonna go there, because during my stay in usa this year i met too many people with a philosophy like yours.

i'm just tired of trying to change it.

conversation is over.

[projectdarkgrey]

Record numbers of non-English speaking immigrants threaten to overwhelm the assimilative process. And instead of encouraging new immigrants to acquire the English fluency needed to succeed in our society, the policy of our government is to promote "diversity" by operating in ever growing numbers of foreign languages.

Official English would reinforce America's historic message to new immigrants - that we expect them to learn English as the first step in their assimilation.

[EddieMorris3]

Wow, this is a damn good video. One of the best I have ever seen about Chernobyl or how is that damn thing called.
