those Russian guys are heroes, if the core would have reached the water table below the reactor , there would have been a bigger bang, and wide spread radiation of a disastrous magnitude across the whole of Europe.
Nearly 370 farms in Britain are still restricted in the way they use land and rear sheep because of radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident 23 years ago, the government has admitted.
Sad that most of peoples worked there and lived in sorounding towns and vilages died few years after tragedy even the guy who was working in that test and survived the blow died.God bless their familyes!
For that video the filmer got radiated very highly but as far as I know he´s still alive and fine. He didn´t know then how dangerous it would be to fly over the deadly reactor.
And I was living in Germany as an adult, no more mushroom hunting, no more wild berries. Then there was this issue with 5000 tons of contaminated milk that just disappeared, because the sheeple began demanding less depressing entertainment.
by the way... A few weeks before, Reagan bombed Libya.
@windson7 it was more like a linking bomb jus giving off the energy to everything, and it was a set up. ussr set the time on it an new the radiation would fall south
@windson7 It didn't go off like a Nuclear bomb, it almost did though, some brave men who went into the reactor itself to drain the water from below the Core fire stopped it from going thermal, which would have levelled 200 sq Km's around the site and made most of Russia an irradiated wasteland.
One reactor (Swedish standards) generates a yearly amount of energy equivalent to 18501120000lbs of charcoal a year.
That's about one thousand wind mills trapped in a constant raging unidirectional storm of Gods for a few generations.
So if we took down our power plants we'd need to cover the entire earth with wind mills and somehow get in touch with a wizard who would summon daemon winds (without turbulence of course) for all eternity.
Yeah I know what you mean. Well, they learned an invaluable lesson; don't leave giant flaws in the design nor hire people who aren't competent enough to spot them.
@orangie84: what does this reactor accident have to do with nuclear weapons? The reactor design was flawed, the staff in the control room were not informed of this. Ultimately the self serving Soviet bureaucracy is to blame for this disaster.
Ps.. This accident should be taught in every school to every child across the globe and it should be used to show why no one should ever rely or use nuclear weapons.. ever.. What ever enemy they are launch at the radiation would come back to the people who launch them as well as everyone else across the planet. This accident should be used as a learning tool. And the truth about the after math of nuclear radiation exposure how awful it truly is should be taught in detail to the fullest.
I agree with you completely. Anything nuclear should be phased out. we have all these forms of alternative energy...what's the use for Nuclear power now?
History states plainly the rational realisation of nuclear energy wasn't it's benefits to humanity, but it's potential uses for war yet good use of lobbying and propaganda painted a different image.
Technology & science must advance before we can properly harness and control nuclear materials, thus avoiding the need for proper maintence or as seen here, the apparent lack of.
With the social climate even today, we arent ready,science bit us in the arse and gifted us too soon.
I remember that the cloud of radiation actually just barely reached Pennsylvania and for about a month you couldn't drink any milk brought in from Pennsylvania farms because of a possibility of radiation contamination! (which at that time in my area most milk came from penn.) Yeah the radiation reached the states!!
@orangie84- maybe if they are the ones who actually had the accident but no it was chernobyl this time america gets to much atention its like they want everything to be about them.
@SociatalEffecta that's absolutely true.. like recently after the Chilean miners were rescued, I read a post from an American bitching and whining the the rescue capsule only had Chile's flag on it ??!?! "Americans helped build it so our flag should be on it too.." OMFG
@orangie84 its not that nobody remembers the states, but not drinking milk is nothing compared to what we europeans suffered. i'd trade not drinking milk with all of our deaths any day of the year.
@orangie84 What you are referring to was THREE MILE ISLAND, which actually IS in Pennsylvania. They happened in relatively close proximity to one another, but Chernobyl was so much worse...in PA the leak was relatively contained.
@orangie84 Nobody seems to remember even fukushima, like it's allright and nuclear mess is just cotton candy and rainbows right out of some cute angel's ass
@orangie84 pff radiation that came from chernobyl to usa was harmless, in my country i remember radioactive rain was falling , and we couldn t eat or drink anything, that was fucked up!
@orangie84 "And no one seems to remember that.." that is so true... i often hear people discussing hiroshima and nagasaki... but no one seems to have heard the slightest about Chernobyl... it's rather sad
See the white dots flashing up here and there? well thats not a normal occurance. thats actualy caused by the high radiation levels, even that far from the reactor even.
Very much so, marv. Is it also macabre that I've come back to Chernobyl videos two years in a row around the anniversary date without even realizing it? I was 11 when this disaster happened, it must have imprinted on me hugely, without my even realizing.

And now we can tell our youths today what it was like in 1986 - now that Japan is having trouble getting the Fukushima plants under control.
I was 9 in 1986 and barely remember Chernobyl. But recent events really hammer home the uncertainty that surely existed 25 years ago.
