My friend`s father was the liquidator on CNPP (Chernobyl). Their crew in protective suits collected radiaktivny graphite by shovels. One young guy from their team told: Radiation is not dangerous and I will prove it to you! guy took off his glove and took graphite with hand (without any protection). Speaks - Look! With me everything is all right! I only feel how colitis a hand. ( What power there was radiation! If the guy felt it!). Other liquidators shouted to him - throw it! In an hour liquidators saw at this guy blood flows from a nose and a mouth in an hour. his was brought to hospital and he died there in several hours. He died at hospital in several hours. I lived in Belarusia in Chernobyl area in my childhood. I liked to collect flowers and beautiful pebbles on the street. I brought it home and put it in a box with my toys. Once my father brought home the dosimeter. He wanted to learn radiation level inside of our house. All our neigbours did it. The radiation level was high, my father could not find a source. Then he found. It was my box with toys. Father told me to throw out my box. But it was my treasure. There were my favorite dolls and doll furniture an my radiactivny pebbles)))). I hid a box, it grieved me to throw out it. When we left Belarus I took away this box with myself. When we moved to the clean city this toybox lay under my bed many years. Only when I graduated from school I understood what poison I stored many years. We threw out this box and I was afraid that nobody picked up this box. Then all laughed over me as I brought radiaktivny things and stored them many years. My father was a military pilot. In a month after accident they flew over Chernobyl at the height of 4 kilometers. Devices onboard showed high radiation level. Height was 4 kilometers. my father told: guys, under us Chernobyl. This movie caused in me many memories. sorry for my English
Btw, the clothes thrown in the basement are still "hot" to this day, as in still dangerously radioactive. Those men in theory got hit with 20,000 roentgen if not more depending on where they stood.
@@Strider91 The radiation wouldn't have impacted them that seriously yet. The event depicted there did actually happen, but not at the time shown in the show. It was weeks later.
With that level of radiation they would have already started to feel light headed possibly even slightly I'll. That combined with the fact that it surely fried or even scrambled their electronics and instruments. I assure you, it was effecting them, they were not in a sound state to operate that aircraft. This surely lead to operator error. Never underestimate the effects of radiation on the human body
@@Strider91 You can speculate on what they were intending with the scene, but when it came to the actual event, radiation exposure wasn't the issue. It was accidental rotor collision with the crane cable.
Caused by technical issues and human error that resulted from operating under unsafe conditions. Believe me when I tell you, under normal operating procedures. . . . Pilots tend not to hit cranes . . .
yeah you gonna get the answer about pets in 4th episode. This is a rough series man. It gets people educated as well. Excellent cast. Jarred Harris is awesome.
You've got to finish the series. Only 5 episodes. It gets fucking tougher and tougher with each episode, but it's truly worth it. Especially the very end of the show.
My mother has been pregnant with me in northern Germany when this happened and she did not go outside at all for a few weeks when Germany was alarmed what happened.
In Sweden they forbid people for example to collect mushrooms in the forest to eat. And they kept track on which way it would go, the radioactive cloud. I remember this. It was really scary. But it most have been even scarier for people in the east of Europe.
I was a baby at that time in Poland and the cloud got really near the location, still the doctors served me a portion of the lugola liquid just in case the cloud turns. Close call.
At least they told you. I was 5. There were stories about May 1st parade and a rain and all the people on the streets here... Nobody was told anything. Only thing was later the doctors offered abortions to the pregnant women. I think they were told about a problem at the Chernobyl power plant, but that everything is fine. The whole truth was told after the regime changed in 89. So apparently now they say we were on 8th place of radiation levels from all the contaminated countries, but first in Europe in therms of effective radiation that people got. Most people here have parents or grandparens in the villages, every house grows vegetables,fruits and has domestic animals. People thought they eat fresh food - clean and good. Healthy... The lettuces grow at that time... Now... well, in 20 years cancer numbers has doubled, and the population is 2 mil down due to low birth rates and emigration sinse then. One forth of the people have problems with their thyroid gland. So that part about the cost of lies....hits home. I am from Bulgaria
My Dad told me, that at that time all food from the fields had been forbidden to eat, but in switzerland only a few km away from here, it was oerfectly fine to eat crops and other stuff from fields lol
@@tacitus5665 No it was just another freak accident. The footage of the real event shows the helicopter pilot just strayed too close and the rotors clipped the steel cable holding up the hook of the crane. It was another tragedy atop of the horrific tragedy already playing out.
@@SetchDreskar Yes, I never doubted that. I just said that the electronics might have been scrambeled therefor making navigation more difficult leading to the pilot flying into the crane cable.
nope its never do to radiation....its lot of smoke in real fotage and pilot cannot clearly see the crane and crash to cables.....in lots of documents and interview pople told it.....
Like you said, we know the divers made it through and managed to do what they set out to do (or else right now Europe would be uninhabitable and half the continent would be dead), but here's something absolutely amazing: All three men, who were said to not likely live longer than a week after, survived. Two of them are *still* alive, and Boris Baranov didn't die until 2005, at the age of 65.
Yep! Between the concrete around them and their dry suits, they absorbed less radiation than expected. Some estimate the folks outside got more radiation than the divers. However, in their telling of the story one of the guys apparently saw a glow through a crack in a wall. They imply that they were already looking at the liquid corium that would soon after be called the Elephant's Foot. The showwriter thought it'd come across as too hollywood, so they went with that bubbling water imagery.
I have watched 5 different peoples reaction videos on this show and I must say that you guys have done the best editing job I have seen by far! There are scenes here that are make or break for the show. Great work man, it caused me to subscribe to see your reactions to other great shows.
please keep reacting to this series! please! you're my favorite reactor out there and I just KNOW you will be able to appreciate Chernobyl for the masterpiece it is once you've finished it. It only gets better and better. Thank you again for another awesome video!!
I vividly remember this happening as a teenager in England. I remember sheep resting positive for radiation, I believe we could only buy imported New Zealand lamb because of the risks and I seem to remember falling ash being reported in certain places over UK and Ireland up to Scandinavia. Absolutely terrified as we were also constantly terrified of a nuclear war - we used to have practice at diving under our desks in case of a nuclear explosion. Great childhood memories.
so far, from all the reaction channel, your editing for 10 mnts fair use are amazing! you have great choice of which important part of the film, keep it up!
I'm so glad that we have doctors and nurses that cared so much for the people who got sick to the point that they didn't even care for their own safety. Their job is to save people, and that is what they tried to do.
As mentioned, at the Forsmark power plant in Sweden, alarms went off. Intrigued, they looked for leaks, but radiation levels turned out to be higher outdoors than in the plant. For a while, employees had to change boots to not drag radiation into the facility and confuse the meters.
It's really boggling me the more I look at comments on here and other people reacting to the series that they didn't have any idea of this whole situation at all except from things like modern warfare. I was born in the 80s. I ws too young to really know anything or pay close attention when it was reported on the tv on something like CNN. However, I do remember hearing about it from the tv at the time, if only just the name associated as something bad happened. When I was growing up, I swear we had a brief mention in class regarding the Soviet Union. However, I definitely remember my teacher rolling in a tv and showing us a documentary on chernobyl and the aftermath when I was in middle school in the mid 90s. It has literally fascinated me most of my life and getting more information on it has been a fun journey as it comes out.
I remember that helicopter crashing at the time. Western TV got that somehow. The helicopter got too close to the abandoned crane, and the rotors hit the crane cables.

Don't think for a single second that a single elite is on the side of the people, and don't think for a moment that they aren't all secretly on the same side. Sure, the climate is changing, and I'd bet that humans have some impact on it, but the doomsday predictions are just more carrot-and-stick. Chemical dumping in the oceans, plastic pollution, rainforest deforestation, poaching, and overfishing are all far, far, FAR bigger issues than climate change. The climate has changed a thousand times in Earth's history and life has persisted. Don't be fooled! Our holy mother nature will die because everybody is looking in the wrong direction.
Just noticed a detail in the helicopter explosion. There's a crane wire that the rotors hit with a small explosion, and you can see the lifting hook fall away below the helicopter as it starts to fall.
What’s up Sithfurion, your channel is great. Love the content. You should watch the movie called “ The Battle of Chernobyl” it was released on the 20th anniversary and it goes into detail what exactly took to prevent the disaster from destroying half of Europe. I highly recommend. Maybe you can react to the documentary on your cannel. Keep up the good work.
You guys need to listen to the Podcast. It's on RUclips and they discuss the details that go on in the show/how they shot scenes/what events they decided to cut. It follows each episode and is a great insight to the ordinary people affected by it all. Nice react tho guys!
even though the brunette lady is fictional, she is a very important character, she represents all the real life scientists investigating the accident. The nurses are some of the true hero's , especially the first nurse we see who only had the info she gets from looking at the patient, began to help him , using bare hands not knowing the dangers she and her fellow nurses were in, she sadly only realized it, when she saw her hand burned but it looked like she told no one and went back to work.
"No idea how they stopped it..." They bodged a big shed out of breezeblock and magnesium/aluminum panels around it. The first shed has been replaced now. Thank goodness.
When compared to my own single life, saving sixty odd million lives and the livelihoods of millions more makes me hope I would be brave enough to volunteer
Everyone glosses over this but imagine the IMPORTANCE of these lines.... ( 11:00 ) “At least evacuate Pripyat. It’s 3km away...” “That’s my decision to make” “Then MAKE it” “...I’ve been TOLD NOT TO” I mean come on man... do you not see how insane that is? Do you hear the repercussions of that? How many thousands of lives hang in the balance? “Make that decision.” “I’ve been told not to.” Fuuuuuuuuu-...
The three men that went into the basement, originally the reward was 400 rubles, a car, and a summer dacha (home) aswell as Hero of the Soviet Union. They only had one flashlight and it burned out
If you’ve not watched it, there is a Sky documentary called The Real Chernobyl. It goes into some of the survivors stories and at least 1 of the 3 guys that went down into the water. Really worth it dude 👍
The concept of self-sacrifice for the greater good is very old with slavic peoples, plus they were under Soviet rule and that's like "do what you're told, or else"
Many people volunteered by themselves. I know a man who went for cleanup in Chernobyl and the reason was: "i already have wife and children and they're sending such young boys there! Better me than them!". So yes, there was this "sacrifice for greater good" present, and in this case it was not forced.
The three men who drained the water were eventually nicknamed the “Suicide Squad.” But if you search their names they actually survived and 2 are even still alive today
There's a surprising number of people who were in the control room (including operators) who survived and are still alive. That includes Stolyarchuk, whos interview really clears up a lot of questions.
The helicopter wasn’t affected by the radiation, that’s not the reason they crashed. It crashed because it hits the cable from the crane that you see on the left. You can actually see the propeller from the helicopter hit the cable, and you can see the cable fall with the Chopper
The scene in the helicopter with Sherbina and Legasov is also complete fiction. Legasov in his audio recordings reports that Sherbina was a reasonable man who listened to what experts said to him.
Most of the People that diet trying to stop the Radiation in chernobyl were named Heros of the Soviet Union there ist an munument build in chernobyl for the Falen Heroes
Yeah, the helicopter hit the crane wire and broke. I thought for the longest time after seeing the real footage that the helicopter broke from the heat, but it hit the crane above the core.
They did not in fact asked for volunteers. The three men were the ones on shift at the time so they had to do it. I will give no spoilers but there are many answers given at the end of the series. I doubt it is taught in Russian schools. Remember, this happened in the Ukraine not Russia. The Russians intend making their own series and the Director has confirmed that their version will blame the accident on a CIA agent penetrating the Nuclear Plant. How's that for rewriting history!
Hmmm. Although I wouldn't put virtually anything passed the CIA, this conspiracy theory will be laughable to the majority of sane people. There are still living survivors of Chernobyl, who know what caused it. I'd like to see Putin's approved version, though. I wonder if they'll make it easy for the West to find & watch. Also, I wonder if they'll supply subtitles or make a dubbed version.
Unfortunately, in fact nobody in Soviet Union was considered as a hero in this situation, you just had to do what you were told to do and the authorities never really cared about the number of people to sacrifice in such circumstances. You can find out more from the interviews of those who survived or from Aleksievich's book "Voices from Chernobyl", for example.
First Uhtred kills him for stealing and humping in his bed, then a nuclear physicist shames him for working in a shoe factory. That guy just can't catch a break.
the thing is, if they evacuated completely, they might of never really got to the point of a solution, imagine if he didnt get to that meeting, if he hadnt spoken up, they might of never really fixed it. and it might of went to extintion levels. continentally. and so on, who knows
yea the irony is that not evacuating meant they had the man power to sacrifice to stop the situation getting much worse but had they actually asked for help the Americans and Germans had stuff/expertise that could of helped. Soviet Russia and political tensions that was never gonna happen in that environment
@@vkdeen7570 the russian mantra is ure as strong as u make them believe. they would of NEVER ask for help. it was very convinient for them that they had all those bodies to use by closing the city. scary stuff really.
The scale of the disaster that the Chernobyl plant was and even now, still is, is not readily discussed in Russia among the general public. You just grow up knowing that something really bad has happened there. That many millions could have died, but no specifics. I mean, this all comes down to the whole point of the mini-series, which I will not state - cuz spoilers! But I do want to point out that all those men and women that staid behind to stop the explosion from killing off half the continent, people whom willingly sacrificed their lives because it had to be done, because there was no one ells who could do it. Most of them are not remembered, some were erased from history, their families at best were given platitudes and then forgotten by their government. I wouldn't be shocked if they were not permitted to speak of what their family members did.. ......On the brighter side of things, the sets of the series are scary accurate. The interiors design hasn't changed at all! It was really weird watching this the first time, hahaha, I felt like was back there for a few hours..... like, Russia not Chernobyl.
Not much, really. The danger with nuclear reactors is that uranium decays into long-living radioactive elements, which is what contaminates the environment. In a nuclear bomb, the plutonium core undergoes fission in microseconds, and most of the damage is from intense heat and the blastwave. There's some radioactive fallout, but it doesn't last for decades. In fact, the Tsar Bomba 50 megaton explosion was one of the "cleanest" thermonuclear tests, as it produced very little fallout.
if this type of event happened today i think the protective equiptment you would have even today would probably not make a difference get to close you likely die if not get cancer ect
This docu-series was mind blowing to say the least. The level of political ignorance was insane and the lives it cost. Some have even said because of this and the radiation that was spread around the globe is part of the reason why cancer rates increased since that day. Knowing it could take 100 years at least before the air clears out is mind blowing.

Sure, the climate is changing, and I'd bet that humans have some impact on it, but the doomsday predictions are just more carrot-and-stick. Chemical dumping in the oceans, plastic pollution, rainforest deforestation, poaching, and overfishing are all far, far, FAR bigger issues than climate change. The climate has changed a thousand times in Earth's history and life has persisted. Don't be fooled! Our holy mother nature will die because everybody is looking in the wrong direction.
The Ignalina Nuclear Power Station that is mentioned briefly at the start is where they actually filmed the series.
2 out of 3 "divers" are still alive. Fucking heroes!
Come on with ep 3 !!! It’s been 1 month now...
12:17 "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE HELICOPTERS?!" 😂
More reactions with him from now on Sith! Keep the good work
Make sure that you do a separate reaction to the info at the end of episode 5
Just noticed a detail in the helicopter explosion. There's a crane wire that the rotors hit with a small explosion, and you can see the lifting hook fall away below the helicopter as it starts to fall.
Sorry if I’ve missed a notification, but have you decided not to carry on with this series?🙂
What’s up Sithfurion, your channel is great. Love the content. You should watch the movie called “ The Battle of Chernobyl” it was released on the 20th anniversary and it goes into detail what exactly took to prevent the disaster from destroying half of Europe. I highly recommend. Maybe you can react to the documentary on your cannel. Keep up the good work.
You guys need to listen to the Podcast. It's on RUclips and they discuss the details that go on in the show/how they shot scenes/what events they decided to cut. It follows each episode and is a great insight to the ordinary people affected by it all. Nice react tho guys!
There is really no better reaction for this documentary than turning to someone else and saying "fuck".
even though the brunette lady is fictional, she is a very important character, she represents all the real life scientists investigating the accident. The nurses are some of the true hero's , especially the first nurse we see who only had the info she gets from looking at the patient, began to help him , using bare hands not knowing the dangers she and her fellow nurses were in, she sadly only realized it, when she saw her hand burned but it looked like she told no one and went back to work.
The incredible part is those three divers survived! Two of them are still alive today, even.
They did this show so well. The real helicopter footage is so much like this. It's terrifying
Two of them are still alive to this day.
there is real footage from a camera crew in a helicopter, the most chilling part of it is the visible radiation on the film showing up as "film grain"
I was recently doing a research project on the Chernobyl Disaster and needless to say the whole incident disgusted me as it was avoidable.
"No idea how they stopped it..."
They bodged a big shed out of breezeblock and magnesium/aluminum panels around it. The first shed has been replaced now. Thank goodness.
The rotor on the helicopter hit the cable on the crane, not that it disintegrated upon exiting the smoke.
When compared to my own single life, saving sixty odd million lives and the livelihoods of millions more makes me hope I would be brave enough to volunteer
Where's the rest of the episodes?? :(
Everyone glosses over this but imagine the IMPORTANCE of these lines.... ( 11:00 )
“At least evacuate Pripyat. It’s 3km away...”
“That’s my decision to make”
“Then MAKE it”
“...I’ve been TOLD NOT TO”
I mean come on man... do you not see how insane that is? Do you hear the repercussions of that? How many thousands of lives hang in the balance?
“Make that decision.”
“I’ve been told not to.”
Fuuuuuuuuu-...
I love that Tom Hardy takes time of his days to give us these reactions.
I'm still not convinced you aren't Tom Hardy impersonating a RUclips personality
Great channel great reaction, just subscribed and liked.
The three men that went into the basement, originally the reward was 400 rubles, a car, and a summer dacha (home) aswell as Hero of the Soviet Union. They only had one flashlight and it burned out
If you’ve not watched it, there is a Sky documentary called The Real Chernobyl. It goes into some of the survivors stories and at least 1 of the 3 guys that went down into the water. Really worth it dude 👍
3 episodes in a roll? Jesus! xD
The men in the water lived. 2 of them are still alive and the other only died a few years ago
Still 3 more episodes to go, mate!
many people involved were celebrated and awarded. to date only one of the 3 men has died, I can guess it was because they were so young.
When are you reacting to the next ep? been so long
The concept of self-sacrifice for the greater good is very old with slavic peoples, plus they were under Soviet rule and that's like "do what you're told, or else"
Many people volunteered by themselves. I know a man who went for cleanup in Chernobyl and the reason was: "i already have wife and children and they're sending such young boys there! Better me than them!". So yes, there was this "sacrifice for greater good" present, and in this case it was not forced.
@@andriykhavro107 Same in Fukushima. Who could've thunk ethnic homogeneity would result in care for one another ;)
Btw 400 rub in 1986 was like 3-month salary, it's not today's 400 rub :))
The three men who drained the water were eventually nicknamed the “Suicide Squad.” But if you search their names they actually survived and 2 are even still alive today
There's a surprising number of people who were in the control room (including operators) who survived and are still alive. That includes Stolyarchuk, whos interview really clears up a lot of questions.
is the guy in the red shirt from whitechapel or something? Jeez what an accent.
Are you going to do episode 3? (and 4 & 5?)
The helicopter wasn’t affected by the radiation, that’s not the reason they crashed. It crashed because it hits the cable from the crane that you see on the left. You can actually see the propeller from the helicopter hit the cable, and you can see the cable fall with the Chopper
The scene in the helicopter with Sherbina and Legasov is also complete fiction. Legasov in his audio recordings reports that Sherbina was a reasonable man who listened to what experts said to him.
where is the last kingdom?
Most of the People that diet trying to stop the Radiation in chernobyl were named Heros of the Soviet Union there ist an munument build in chernobyl for the Falen Heroes
Im not sure a diet is gonna stop the radiation
Morrison64
LMAO. Your comment had me howling in the small hours of the night!
It's a shame you didn't continue this. You guys are having intelligent discussion during and after (and before) it, unlike most channels like this.
The helicopter hit a crane metal rope it wasn’t the radiation if you look close you can see it.
Is The Last Kingdom season 3 coming.
Yeah, the helicopter hit the crane wire and broke. I thought for the longest time after seeing the real footage that the helicopter broke from the heat, but it hit the crane above the core.
RIP Sons of Anarchy
?
They did not in fact asked for volunteers. The three men were the ones on shift at the time so they had to do it. I will give no spoilers but there are many answers given at the end of the series. I doubt it is taught in Russian schools. Remember, this happened in the Ukraine not Russia. The Russians intend making their own series and the Director has confirmed that their version will blame the accident on a CIA agent penetrating the Nuclear Plant. How's that for rewriting history!
Hmmm. Although I wouldn't put virtually anything passed the CIA, this conspiracy theory will be laughable to the majority of sane people. There are still living survivors of Chernobyl, who know what caused it. I'd like to see Putin's approved version, though. I wonder if they'll make it easy for the West to find & watch. Also, I wonder if they'll supply subtitles or make a dubbed version.
Unfortunately, in fact nobody in Soviet Union was considered as a hero in this situation, you just had to do what you were told to do and the authorities never really cared about the number of people to sacrifice in such circumstances.
You can find out more from the interviews of those who survived or from Aleksievich's book "Voices from Chernobyl", for example.
Why did you stop doing Cherbobyl?
This show is fucking amazing... will you react to amazons the boys?
First Uhtred kills him for stealing and humping in his bed, then a nuclear physicist shames him for working in a shoe factory. That guy just can't catch a break.
the thing is, if they evacuated completely, they might of never really got to the point of a solution, imagine if he didnt get to that meeting, if he hadnt spoken up, they might of never really fixed it. and it might of went to extintion levels. continentally. and so on, who knows
yea the irony is that not evacuating meant they had the man power to sacrifice to stop the situation getting much worse
but had they actually asked for help the Americans and Germans had stuff/expertise that could of helped. Soviet Russia and political tensions that was never gonna happen in that environment
@@vkdeen7570 the russian mantra is ure as strong as u make them believe. they would of NEVER ask for help. it was very convinient for them that they had all those bodies to use by closing the city. scary stuff really.
The scale of the disaster that the Chernobyl plant was and even now, still is, is not readily discussed in Russia among the general public. You just grow up knowing that something really bad has happened there. That many millions could have died, but no specifics. I mean, this all comes down to the whole point of the mini-series, which I will not state - cuz spoilers! But I do want to point out that all those men and women that staid behind to stop the explosion from killing off half the continent, people whom willingly sacrificed their lives because it had to be done, because there was no one ells who could do it. Most of them are not remembered, some were erased from history, their families at best were given platitudes and then forgotten by their government. I wouldn't be shocked if they were not permitted to speak of what their family members did..
......On the brighter side of things, the sets of the series are scary accurate. The interiors design hasn't changed at all! It was really weird watching this the first time, hahaha, I felt like was back there for a few hours..... like, Russia not Chernobyl.
Where is the next episode, I cant wait! :D
This kind of thing makes me wonder what kind of damage nuclear explosions have on the atmosphere and continue to have for years to come.
Not much, really. The danger with nuclear reactors is that uranium decays into long-living radioactive elements, which is what contaminates the environment. In a nuclear bomb, the plutonium core undergoes fission in microseconds, and most of the damage is from intense heat and the blastwave. There's some radioactive fallout, but it doesn't last for decades. In fact, the Tsar Bomba 50 megaton explosion was one of the "cleanest" thermonuclear tests, as it produced very little fallout.
The reactor didn't suffer from a nuclear explosion, but rather, an explosion like a ton of dynamite buried under the reactor.

What's all that shit on your arm? Is that Klingon?
You’ve spelt Chernobyl wrong 😴
Hi, Sithf what channel can I find this ?
Honeys.. Its in Ukraine, not Russia.
When the other episodes?
Oh my god where is episode 3, you cant give up on this show! Your reactions to Chernobyl are your best videos.
Sith c'mon... It's been one month!!
will you react to DARK?
Hope next ep reaction is up soon
Ayy!!
if this type of event happened today i think the protective equiptment you would have even today would probably not make a difference get to close you likely die if not get cancer ect
Correct. Even today the best protection is considered speed, distance, and something to cover your skin, hair and respiration from isotopes
Are we going to see “the last kingdom” season 3?
This docu-series was mind blowing to say the least. The level of political ignorance was insane and the lives it cost. Some have even said because of this and the radiation that was spread around the globe is part of the reason why cancer rates increased since that day. Knowing it could take 100 years at least before the air clears out is mind blowing.
cmonn man,what hapen with other seies
