Best Chernobyl Documentary 2006 The Battle of Chernobyl (HQ) 1hr 32min 1 clip

THE BATTLE OF CHERNOBYL dramatically chronicles the series of harrowing efforts to stop the nuclear chain reaction and prevent a second explosion, to "liquidate" the radioactivity, and to seal off the ruined reactor under a mammoth "sarcophagus." These nerve-racking events are recounted through newly available films, videos and photos taken in and around the plant, computer animation, and interviews with participants and eyewitnesses, many of whom were exposed to radiation, including government and military leaders, scientists, workers, journalists, doctors, and Pripyat refugees.

The consequences of this catastrophe continue today, with thousands of disabled survivors suffering from the "Chernobyl syndrome" of radiation-related illnesses, and the urgent need to replace the hastily-constructed and now crumbling sarcophagus over the still-contaminated reactor. As this remarkable film makes clear, THE BATTLE OF CHERNOBYL is far from over.

I believe these people; the miners, the soldiers, the scientists, these "liquidators" are the first true heroes. Even though they might not have had the choice, even though they might have did what they did because they had too... They saved the world, saved humanity, yet again, from it's own stupidity... They deserve even more respect, and acknowledgement for that alone.

Because of your selfless efforts, this disaster was contained, and the lives of thousands others saved. Rest in peace...

Absolutely MIND BLOWING. They had to use robotic machines to build a sarcophagus around the reactor. And the machines themselves broke down because of the radiation. Any human couldn't work for more than 15 minutes in the area at a time. There was enough graphite material to kill a man in less than an hour. Sometimes I wonder if mankind would have been better off not discovering nuclear power.

you are a very ignorant person

It was part of the USSR that was essentialy dominated by russia

[MrDemon562]

after i saw the chrenobyl trailer i wasnt inforemed about this insident soi did some research and this is absolutely mind blowing

Another delusional walking abortion talkin shit..was it true that molotov liked to dress up like a bitch and stalin stuck it up his ass? If it wasn't for America you cumstains would've been wiped off the planet by the nazis....Cuntunism is dead much like the corpse you raped only moments ago....Too bad you fuktards didn't all fucking die at chernobyl...fuckin scumbags

@ ron jacoby Get over yourself pussy if u think USA is perfect. Communism is Still Around there, if ww3 would of happened USSR would of won

[whitejapan126]

PEOPLE ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID??? THIS IS UKRAINE NOT RUSSIA!!

[Ron Jacoby]

Typical russian incompetence. They have never really gave a shit about their own people..no sacrifice to great for the motherland.The only thing Reagan did wrong was not launch a full spread on these pricks in the 80's. It would be a pretty safe assumption to say that their missiles probably wouldn't fire anyway. the only good russian is a VAPORIZED russian.

why does this video seem so fast

[Laughinggas42]

Could i ask y though

"Let's build a reactor at sea level next to an ocean in a notoriously geologically unstable location!"

Makes perfect sense. You know, the fact that Fukushima One was able to withstand a staggering earthquake -- and near its epicenter, mind you -- testifies to the robust safety that many modern reactors boast. It was a completely preventable disaster, and yet, it fuels fires against nuclear energy simply because most of humanity is too ignorant to see "cause" and instead only sees "effect."
