Chernobyl Zone May 2009 HD Part 1 of 5

[sharpshooterCTS]

Its like the entire world just stopped here

[TheDoctorMozart]

Lots of anomalies, u need to be careful if monolith or military comes.

[mrzanduz]

@0:59 i think i see some stalkers

[MrMaralisa]

It's kinda stupid and arrogant to think we could destroy mother earth.

All we can do is shifting life parameters in a way that humanity can't live here anymore and will finally be extinct.

"Nature" isn't that easy to be killed. There will always be "survivors" of any kind. Anywhere, anyhow.

Humans depend on the most delicate and complicate ecosystem. A (not even so) major change and we're doomed...

[martinenn]

svaka ti dala za muziku brate

[Kutko23]

get out of here Stalker! I said get out of here or monolith will get you!

[Arachnikadia]

ugh whats with the ominous song...talk or something...it gets too scary walking through a ghost town like that.

[TS1225X]

I can't believe people thing this is not as bad as Fukushima REALY no it's not this is the WORST!!!!! Nuclear disaster in the history of mankind

[bluemotion1905]

i am watching this on 2012

[DECICIVETOAST]

I need to go here before i die

[amerizilian]

@DECICIVETOAST you might just accomplish both at the same time...

[Tiberiumfreek]

Why did they call it the Bridge of Death. Was that the bridge that people use to evacuate?

[grendel2012]

@Tiberiumfreek It was called the bridge of death because numerous citizens from the town stood on the bridge watching the radiation leak into the sky on the night of the explosion, the radiation lit up the sky like the northern lights, most of these people died later from radiation exposure

[Tiberiumfreek]

@grendel2012 Is that so? Alright cool, thanks for the info man most appreciated. :)

[timoulete76]

I very beautiful place and very invisible dirty, nature keep lives here. it's pervert thing . Maybe one day II'll go here

[JillmanVideo]

Wow! you can see the Duga 3 gigantic antennas at 9:18

"The russian woodpecker" old over the horizon radar site.

[mjndblain]

just think,if the reactor dident blow no one would give a dam about Pripyat most people wouldn't even know what that is

[Dogsarecool40]

I wash my vaginas out from the inside with sea water before I use them

[Samyaza69]

man you have no filming skills whatsoever!

[TAMOSELIS]

i from lithuania,i was 10 old,remember this day,like today.

[MasterTrollAlot]

i have to take a really large dump

[TheBananaburrito]

@RockstarGamesHD russian quality :P

[RockstarGamesHD]

This train... at 2:33 , looks like in good status.

[Monster130697]

i had a house there :( !!!

[Xdetr3kxX]

@Monster130697 "i had a house there :( !!!" suuuuuuure you did....

[RayDandy]

amazing to see trees and other nature growing there,comforting to know that the planet is resilient and can recover from our brutality and stupidity.

[blindedby2monkeys]

7 people made a trip to this place but tragically, they were smashed by a gaus rifle from the rooftops

[nophobia123]

the snake turns back sprouts legs and walks away

[rolandjager]

Love the fact how nature seems to work there. Does anyone know why in the shots of living areas not affected by any blasts are all torn apart - like furniture everywhere?

[thedorkfilms]

@rolandjager When the people left they left everything they owned behind, so after the government left Pripyat raiders started looking for valuable items they could take tearing through boxs and furniture etc.

[ap327145]

@rolandjager Nature works there because there are no more people around for miles since the "accident", If there were more nuclear accidents their would be alot more large nature reserves thats for sure.

[AeroPolice]

You went there like there's no radiation....is it safe?

[SloveintzWend]

@AeroPolice Radiation is everywhere around you.

[AeroPolice]

@SloveintzWend I know that i meant the high level ones...duh.

[SloveintzWend]

@AeroPolice it' won't kill you if you take one stroll around the place that's for sure. I mean people still go to work each day there to control the remaining reactors.

[Flightkid9]

@SloveintzWend The remaining reactors have been inactive for years.

[SloveintzWend]

@Flightkid9 Yes, rectors have been shut down, yet they are still monitoring then until complete decommission.

[YukoAsho]

@AeroPolice The radiation from the plant was spread out in an uneven pattern in the disaster. Think of a camouflage pattern. Some spots are light and some dark. Much the same way, some spots are safe and some spots are suicide to be in, especially close to the Shelter. It's part of why tour guides are MANDATORY in the Zone.

[XxsilentninjaxX]

Ha! Sexy snake. I'd like to think if it could talk it would be like "Radiation feels rearry gewd on ma skin" All in all though this is a very interesting video... I'm focusing right now on post-socialism eastern Europe and Eurasian anthropology in university. I'm obsessed with Urban Exploration and derelict places so this would be an orgasmic experience for me.

[usukker]

imagine you are at this place at night.........wow

[00Andreas00]

@usukker It doesn't glow.

[TheTuta6170Xx]

1:28 yo me puse a buscar mi celular como un boludo xD

[meganowen100]

wat kinda snake was that?

[ssrabits]

@meganowen100 a radiation snake

[007foppe]

why cant i watch part 2 lol its saying it blocked for my countery -____-

[007foppe]

to me its a zone that has been frozen in time

[Kvokki]

since when is 720p HD? JUSTKIDDING

[doncicio54]

Check at 6:35 -> the football cages are in the hall of the culture house.

Check at 7:19 and 7:13 -> these cages are not in the sport hall

But if you check my pictures which have been taken the 18 August 2011 (2 years after your video)it seems that they have been placing the cages back to their original places in the sport hall , Why ??

[badturkali]

8:55 what an amazing view, imagine going up top floor on the balconey and watching the view up there

[1983joelzy]

I would love to visit there, the solitude, the quiet yet the knowledge of what turmoil has take place there...

[PureN3WZ3ALAND]

its so creepy, it use to be full of life nows its just dormant

[EnthronedInIsolation]

Go there at night :O

[extondude]

i bet its so peacefull there

[mortemdrummer]

wat tha fa it sounds like gunfire is going offf

[AusNav09]

@mortemdrummer

its the stalkers fighting bro

[mortemdrummer]

@AusNav09

gnar

[jirikivaari]

The thing at 9 minutes is Soviet radar, anti-ICBM iirc.

[algy24]

Very good video, would love to see it with my own eyes.

[imJoblo]

Now I know you don't care, but I found this pretty cool. If you pause at 4:37, you'll notice that this is the building that you snipe Zakhaev from and repel from when they notice you from Call of Duty 4. Thought I'd let you guys know

[Codrwtz2011]

I wonder if there are anomalies & zombies like in Stalker =))

[Crisgo3d]

i would love to check this all out. Many of my friends think I am nuts. But I am just very interested by all this. I would love to go to Pripyat.

[blackopsvideos5000]

@Crisgo3d hey me to LOL

[xXGSgamingXx]

@Crisgo3d I'm right there with you, i want to be a scientist just so i can go see this shit, it is honestly one of the most interesting things to me.

[amerizilian]

@Crisgo3d I am planning on going this year with my girlfriend and her brother. I can't wait. I live in Poland, so it will be easy.

[One3teen]

The radiation is still there, in small doses it isnt enough to kill you, it would take a couple of days, depending on where you are. But if it hadnt been contained it had the potential to wipe out half of Europe.

[bernaziim]

aaaah.... the zone... very good place

i kill alot of mutats there... good times...

[tresorXXXXXX]

i can't play part 2 it says you stul from EMI

[linx4355]

@dazhibernian they actualy say it wil be habitabl in more like 10,000 years, sorry but 975 years is too soon :(

[shamooafg]

Its a good place for drift and racing lol

[8Eriquo8]

7:40 COD4 Bloc

[DeeLeYYz]

@8Eriquo8 nah its not every small detail on cod 4 is there in real life

[8Eriquo8]

@DeeLeYYz im not sure what you tried to say

[DeeLeYYz]

@8Eriquo8 doesnt matter

[8Eriquo8]

@DeeLeYYz um ok..

[mjndblain]

why would you go in there?!? its still radio active

[pongboy1100]

@mjndblain not evverywhere! there are parts that are ''safe''

[shanaqbaimuru]

Great work.

[mrleamonruss]

At 3.02, Was that gunfire?

[ryama86]

looks like a modern mt vesuvious

[spiderlily21]

okay people this was in 2009 its now 2011 they recently opened it up for public acess not that long ago kay and the radiation has been gone for years they ran tests

[izaccy]

@spiderlily21 take a Geiger counter with you.. I promise you there is still some radiation,

it will last 100 years... and the children born there turned out to be freaks

as expected

[TheGAHman]

For some reason I wan't to check that place out. But I'm cautious of the radiation

[TheAdam4472]

@johnnyblack1974 why the radiation levels are not significant enough to harm you anymore

[metallicarocks911]

is the radiation still deadly?

[Kimpa445]

Is there some kind of fence around Chernobyl or can you just walk inside and live there?

[TheSteanator94]

Does anyone know the song from 0:00 to 1:17?

[choosymoosy]

I imagine when im looking this vid how the world would look like if all the humans where gone.. so sad.. all that broken stuff.. I hope to visit it once.. R.I.P for the people who died there.

[musguelha14]

@choosymoosy Doing the maths backwards, of course...

[Strap1205]

Phantastic good video!!! My most favourite about Pripyat! Thanks for posting!! Nice music too!!

[izedawidka]

chernobyl makes me nerveous, depressed and scared...

[AdrianDotis]

was that machine gun fire around 3:00?

[Carathio]

@AdrianDotis Yeah it was actually, dang...

[Riemigis]

How can they be there ? Isn't it dangerous ?.. they aren't using any masks... i can't get it

[vacuumlover1]

4:43 Alien sound from close encounters of the third kind

[kiwilaka]

9.19 Brain Scorcher ^^

[azzzzyyy]

@kiwilaka ahaha no this is radio loctaion station which was stand in Limansk in clear sky

[firesuite]

@TheEvilution666 Do it!! its not impossible..

[BrokenTVink]

how many people go in there on average, do u know?

[firesuite]

@BrokenTVink not sure but its getting more popular.

[BrokenTVink]

@firesuite ive noticed the increase in videos about it, its one of my favorite places.

[mustange550]

I wonder how many times the city has been ransacked before the government closed its boarders.

[firesuite]

@mustange550 It was ransacked after, most of the looting is said to have started around the turn of the century. Our guide Maxim has been working in there since 97.

[granskare]

ah, the looters, got a bit more than they expected I wager...

[firesuite]

@granskare heh! im betting they did too, serves them right!!

[PrcMarina]

without the permission of the supreme commander of Gorbachev this did not happen.

Today 80th birthday celebrated in the U.S. and enjoys the protection of 52 states and the amnesty of the judicial process, from Russia and Europe

[jejeroy]

all the cable and wire seem to be cut like if some got loot the copper

[firesuite]

@jejeroy thats what they did!

[cadwaele]

Why do they call it the bridge of death?

[firesuite]

@cadwaele A lot of people ran to that bridge the day after the accident to watch what was going on in at the plant (most of the trees you see didnt exist 25 years ago) thus they got a pretty bad dose of rads as that bridge was in the wind path blowing away from the reactor that day.t.

[sonic4sale]

Did you guys looks through the abandoned trains and stuff?

[firesuite]

@sonic4sale Didn't feel comfortable going in the trains, very rusted, didn't look like they would hold any weight

[sonic4sale]

Unless at the beginning it was just images of them driving to chernobyl past other towns, there were lots of people and cars around the abandoned houses in chernobyl, and stuff wasn't that unkempt like all the weeds you see in pictures... :S

[jarlRiess]

Name of the incidental music??

[dazhibernian]

Why does radiation take so long to go away?

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

@dazhibernian well, actually it depends on what kind of radiation you're dealing with how long it'll take to disappear completely. It has got everything to do with the so called half life, which is the period of time it takes for a substance to decrease by half. There are substances that have a half life of 1 second or 1 day or something, but in Chernobyl, they're still dealing with Caesium-137 (half life: 30 years) and Strontium-90 (half life: 29 years).

[dazhibernian]

@SeizeTheDayTomorrow So it's gonna be ok there in 100 years?

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

@dazhibernian nope, more like 975 years, because there is such a big amount of all the substances in there, it'll take that long. It's really hard to imagine, yes.

(Sorry if you don't understand it at all, haha, but I did my best to explain it in English which turned out to be pretty difficult.)

[dazhibernian]

@SeizeTheDayTomorrow Your english is fine! i just don't have a clue lol we need some new energy source can't be playing with this stuff if this is what happens!

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

@dazhibernian ah okay. Yes we sure do. This whole Chernobyl-accident could have turned out even worse, which would've meant that there would've been even more space infected with all this radiation. If you want to know how, just search for it on google or something, but it's even more impressive if you know that it could've been worse.

[Carathio]

@dazhibernian It's uranium I beleive and it won't be okay in like 2,5billion years. We recently had this in Physics.

[dazhibernian]

@Carathio Hold me im scared.

[Carathio]

@dazhibernian My bad it's halvation time is 2,5b years and it will be completely gone in about 5b ^^

[musguelha14]

@Carathio Nope, you've got to always halve the number. In 5b years it will be at 75%, 7,5b years it's at 87,5% and so on...

[TheSeinama]

What snake is that?

[0wexfaron]

wow call of duty 4 and this just is weird to me scary place really want to make a documentary movie there 1 day

[JessFromMead]

Chernobyl is probably the one place that terrifies me, but mystifies me the most.

[firesuite]

@JessFromMead Same here!! thats why I had to visit.

[JessFromMead]

@firesuite What did you have to do to get in?

[firesuite]

@JessFromMead tourkiev dot com arranged it all for us :)

[JessFromMead]

@firesuite At the moment I am a poor college student. But Sometime down the road I would really like to go there. I enjoy these sort of Remote places of the world. I went to Iceland about a year ago with my father and we did a two week trip around the island with a jeep we rented. Beautiful country, so much so that I wish I had enough money to go again. If you haven't already, you should look into it.

[Aceofthedaysdawn]

@JessFromMead Some day...I hope I can go on an expedition (after I attempt to strike a job in hazmat and bio-chemical study) into the center of chernobyl, like really really irradiated...i mean it'd probobly kill me but...idk whats the point of not knowing the radiation is still there.

[fannon00]

can people just drive into the city, or do they need special access or something?

[firesuite]

@fannon00 need written permission from the government, which isn't hard to get.

[andsimona]

@firesuite

Does anyone check it? The written permission and how do you get it?

[extondude]

@firesuite did you use the old autograph trick? xD

[VIL388]

are these guys sick now??

[firesuite]

@VIL388 Im not sick thanks, been there twice, its not as bad as people make out.

[coryt991399]

ive been there before......in cod4

[MrFunk47]

Does anyone know the song at 4:44 ?

[firesuite]

@MrFunk47 google - "The dusted variations" ;)

[jasincl]

@firesuite are their Dangerous areas or is chernobly safe again

[FatBlackFrancis]

@jasincl Some areas will be radioactive for 100,000 years or more, mainly machinery in and around the plant or any steel structures/vehicles, these actively radiate harmful radiation. The land in general though does not radiate anything, but has been irradiated itself, this means you can't eat or drink anything and you wouldn't want to touch anything without gloves.

Basically, you can visit there but you can't live there, the air is ok but everything else is covered in poisonous 'dust'.

[djrimenica]

:'(

[mega408]

less music; more narrating... i.e. what are you doing, where are you at, whats going on?

[MicrosoftVistahasser]

Once again we can see the coffin from Tschernobyl, and once again there is nobody who is working there!

I never saw any picture when somebody worked there!

They are just getting their money from the west and they get their money and they get their money... But there is almost nothing done.

[Videomakera]

Reactor 5 and 6 are not finished they are ruins..

[xthomaz1]

@agtheking thanks for the answer. actually really interesting :)

[20PhantoM07]

wow it really was a city... I realise now how little i know

[slbdevil]

The only people you'll see beyond the control points are the people that work in the plant or tourists and tour guides. Creepy...

[maxy410]

hope that dont happen in japan after the earthquakes

[V904T]

just a question you get GSM (or even 3G) coverage in chernobyl? I saw a Nokia phone going off at the begining.

[torjusb]

Where do you order a place for those toures? It looks really interesting:-)

[lDrgn]

Was watching the vid and when the phone started ringing there (1:30) it started here too!

[ohgoditsjames94]

@frrrrrrunkisdotcom Haha you're pathetic, assuming I'm a thick twat. Newsflash, I'm anything but thick.

Stereotypical American, much like your Country, who thinks their better than everyone else, and anyone who doesn't agree with you, is either stupid or an enemy, Grow up and stop whining about such trivial things, I cease to care about having a debate with such a waste of space, the ridiculous Amoeba that you are!

[ohgoditsjames94]

@frrrrrrunkisdotcom Don't call me dumb when you don't sodding understand what I mean, calm down, take some deep breathes and relax, no need to be all "It's my time of the month!" over the worst Human disasters.

[ohgoditsjames94]

@frrrrrrunkisdotcom What do you mean am I fucking dumb? By dead zone you could assume 2 things, that being the City or anywhere else within the 30km Radius, you don't need to get moody over it, god damn it.

[ohgoditsjames94]

@frrrrrrunkisdotcom The Dead zones being where exactly? The 30km Radius? Or In Pripyat? I can believe that people live near the 30km exclusion zone, but not in it, as most towns were pulled down.

[ohgoditsjames94]

@frrrrrrunkisdotcom No one is there.

[eifeijf]

9:18 never understanded what these tings are...

[ohgoditsjames94]

@eifeijf They're the Grids Russia used to detect American Nuclear missiles.

[eifeijf]

@ohgoditsjames94 thank you very much for your quik and helpfull answere!

[nelson3300]

I heard some team wnt around in Pripyat painting children on all the walls playing etc. . .

[firesuite]

@frrrrrrunkisdotcom we met a couple of samoseli yes.

[ginny7676]

First off there are areas there that could still be potentially lethal or at least dangerous if you stuck around long enough...or at least that's what an official documentary taped a few years ago said. Okay I digress, I wanted to say that the little chime tune that starts somewhere around 5 min in and keeps going tripped me out because it sounds like my old high school's bell. Eerie.

[cloudchaser07]

So how close were you to reactor 4 where the main explosion happened?

[firesuite]

@cloudchaser07 at closest about 200ft

[jp221073]

They leave out another detail and that the levels that you take in they say are "safe" are just levels that won't show instant signs of anything like acute radiation sickness.I mean all the scientist were claiming in the earlier documentaries they were working in a safe manner and did not need the west for breathing equipment or nothing and that is words they would later regret.They were probably made to say that shit but that area will be safe in 4.5 million years.half life of uranium 235-4.5

[jp221073]

I like how the dramanization is with "the bridge of death" lol everywhere you step or look is death its called a small town of death in general.12 to 20 miles in a circle of death and why anybody wants to go there is beyond me although I am glad I guess because they give us film that makes us dizzy but its still informing.I just hope your nobodies head looks like that snakes after awhile and even worse their kids because radiation fucks up your chromosomes and that is passed on to kids.

[jp221073]

That dang snake had a weird looking head man that is enough for me.I don'r see why so many people want to go there other than makin money on films I guess but whoever was doing the filming would have trouble selling this unstable video or maybe getting sued for people falling down and busting their head from being dizzy.All that camera movement will make you dizzy.Damn good HD picture though but radiation is just not romantic to me,they should shut down chernobyle and never return unless needed

[firesuite]

@jp221073 It is shutdown, the last reactor was decommissioned end of 1999. they just don't know what to do with the radioactive mess thats left in #4. the sarcophagus needs regular maintenance and even now has holes in where small amounts of radioactive dust can still escape. then new confinement structure is being built and should be finished around 2013, funds permitting.

[JlkJlk18000]

@firesuite funds permiting? FUCK THAT id donate a shit load of money to get that build... like hell am I turning out to have a tumor 2x the size of my head stuck to my neck...

[Irish8594]

@firesuite i heard like a month ago they are opening tours of the place not only the town but also the nuclear power plant and the reactors but i hardly doubt they will go into reactor 4

[stang46281]

@firesuite Well its already 2011 and they have not started the construction. Im guessing its going to be a little later that 2013. Right?

[firesuite]

@stang46281 yea there having trouble raising the money, its a disgrace more countries arent stepping in to help.

[DerAdventurer]

An absolutely remarkable job! Despite all the sadness in the environment and the whole story, it's awesome to see all these images.

[DerAdventurer]

... ||2|| Must add that Sarcophagus holds something so terrible inside and its iron/concrete structure looks so sinister that you could say its truly Devil's Graveyard.

[firesuite]

@DerAdventurer thank you
