Surviving Disaster Chernobyl

The Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster from the BBC documentary series, Surviving Disaster. This episode follows the accident as told by Valeri Legasov (played by Adrian Edmondson, in one of his more serious roles), the Russian scientist who was a key member of the Soviet government commission formed to investigate the causes of the catastrophe and to plan the mitigation of its consequences. This is quite a chilling tale of events. Some of the documentary was filmed on location in the abandoned town of Pripyat and inside one of the remaining 3 (now closed) nuclear reactors located at Chernobyl.

@bangdaddy6913 "We need nuclear power!"

While I dont completely agree that we "NEED" it, nuclear power can be safe when done right.

That was a brilliant  drama...man, I didn't know Edmonson could act like that...

Very moving.

@yinyanggirl09 Hi Yinyanggirl09, The song is called "The Cliff on the Volga River" ("Utyos") here sung by Leonid Kharitonov. You can find the original song on Youtube, the best version is the one that is 7:15 minutes. it has subtitles. You can also look in my profile, i have it in my favorite list.

It is absolutely stunning!

One of the biggest crimes of all is inept ignorant self serving officials who have no idea what to do in any crisis and are always covering thier own rancid buttholes..

The corrupt system blended with a very specific type of ignorance which I say is typical for communist countries, made people cover up such things in a very stupid manner. Not that other systems don't cover up things, but they had a very stupid way of doing it.
