  • Why is there so many people getting mad at one another? Just chill out, and pray for those who documented and risked their lives to give you this footage!If someone here is being ignorant ignore them! They just want attention. And you should be giving that attention to those who lost their lives in Chernobyl.

  • the most fucked up part is that the soviet union hid this event from the world for a few days

    if it wasn't for the American satellites picking up the heat from the sight they would of kept it secret for a Lot longer, causing even more damage

    in those few days the radiation was circling the earth and innocent people bathed in it

    CCCP also took their time to evacuate people

    the last children were driven away from Chernobyl a few Months later

    the way Russia handled the situation was inhumane.

  • What that red at 0:43

  • this was one expensive sightseeing flight - all aboard received lethal dose of radiation and died soon afterwards

  • @UrbanVapo

    Actually, it wasn't American satellites, it was a Swedish nuclear power plant that detected excess radiation on it's workers.

  • B4 no one really cared bout power plants then an enployee didn't do his job and exploded the nuclear plant and now ever since then people have been more careful of power and nuclear and energy plants if that guy didn't mess up this wouldn't of happened and Chernobyl us getting korinteend for the next 200 years!!!!!

  • @UrbanVapo

    Yes, that is why USSR has collapsed. Lost too many lives? too much prestige and too much money.

  • @5150gamer i think from documentries iv seen most of helicopter pilots died aswell as one of the techiques used to reduce the radioactive fallout was to hover above the rector and throw sand, cement etc on the top of it. Watched k19 the widow maker the other day alot of poor guys died unfortunatley in that accident aswell

  • is that the molen glowing reactor you can see!?!?! If im not mistaken I read somewhere that one of the first planes to go over it and photograph it recieved so much radiation that all the men aboard fell ill shortly after landing and died the next day. Illinois has the most nuclear plants then anyother state and things like this make me nervous to live there. But the progression twords green energy is moving fast so that is good atleast. We need to convert faster though

  • @Duncan7599 From what I know, they didn't forget to do anything, they were testing the safety of the reactor by cutting off coolant to it or something, and obviously it didn't go over too well.

  • I don't speak Russian but I bet what this guy was trying was "who the hell left the stove on????"
