The helicopter’s blades didn’t “melt off”, they contacted the vertical wire hanging from the crane, and broke up while simultaneously severing the wire.
That's true, but it still conveys the danger of even going over that area
@@Nay-kp6uu
Yeah but no.
The physical impact would not be felt until minutes later at least.
Part of the danger of radiation poisoning is that it is invisible and does not present immediately, so you lacking the right equipment to sense radiation levels you would not even realise that you were around people who were catastrophically irradiated, thus irradiating yourself from the mere proximity to them.
@mnomadvfx I'm not saying it was the radiation. The blades hit wires from one of the cranes. I'm just saying the scene is meant to show it was dangerous to fly over that area radiation or not.
this is one of the few scenes that are very disappointingly misleading. the average viewer who knows little to nothing about chernobyl instantly concludes that the radiation killed them. the crane wire is a detail only people who've dug into the disaster know about.
@@Nay-kp6uu Correct. The screenplay/script clarifies one detail that is difficult to tell in the scene. And that is that the winds changed direction blowing the smoke directly at the cockpit, negating visability. As a result the helicopter drifted over the core, causing the comms to malfunction and the collision with the cable. -- That being said, I wouldn't have been able to tell that, and I'm not certain if that's what caused the actual helo crash 6 months later.
This show is getting more intense. Episodes 3 and 4 are the most horrifying!
Ep 4 is a really tough watch
Valery Khodemchuk was in the pump room when the core explosion happened he was vaporized instantly and was the first victim of Chernobyl
pretty cool way to go tbh, not dying just alive-vaporised-back to the real self just like that
For the record, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of about 16 kilotons. The most powerful nuclear bomb ever created had a yield of 50 megatons.
funny (using that term ironically) thing about Tsar Bomba is that it was supposed to be 100 megatons but the deploying aircraft wouldn't have had enough time to escape so the Russians lowered the yield to 50. As it was the Tu-95 that dropped it almost didn't make it out of the blast zone anyway.
Heroes everywhere. The firemen were real heroes throughout the event. The plant workers. The General who truely understood leadership by doing for his men, knowing full well what the risks were.
After a day we got the alarm here in Stockholm Sweden about the accident in Ukrain but didn't really understand how serious it was but when our nuclear power plants issued a statement after a few hours after the news and warned of high levels of becerell we understood that it was serious but still it was it an invisible danger that could not be seen , smelled or noticed in any way so people did not take it seriously. Aweek after the accident emergency slaughter took place , all fresh produce was destroyed and and a ban on picking berries , fruit and mushrooms out in nature , bottle water was recommended. Don't remember how long this went on but today almost forty years later it is forbidden to pick berries and fruit in certain areas out in the Stockholm archipelago. In sweden we have a law that allows all citizens to stay , not on someone's house plot but everywher in forest and land .
"That scene was horrific!"
Oh... get ready... it gets worse.
It's disappointing that you talked over when the general said "It's not 3 roentgen, it's 15,000" Probably the most important line in the series.
and they cut out their reaction to the 4 million x-rays in his hand part
Another note, now that you've seen this episode: The explosion of "between 2 and 4 megatons" would only have been possible if basically the entire remains of the reactor dropped straight into the water. So "between 2 and 4 megatons" is plausible, but VERY unlikely. At this point they were just worried about ANY explosion scattering more radioactive material around. I could say more, but I'm avoiding spoilers until _after_ you've seen more episodes. I was going to mention the helicopter accident that happened 6 months later than depicted, but other commenters have beaten me to it.
Also, as I have understood it, the estimate of the maximum possible explosion also included the force of reactor number 3 exploding in a similar fashion at the same time...but there is no reason to believe that would happen automatically. The producers definitely exaggerated that part for dramatic purposes.
Exactly.
The explosion would have been nothing to the effect of the radioactive material fallout on the area which would have made a cleanup thousands of times harder and longer to accomplish, while likely having rendered a huge swath of eastern Europe unusable for growing crops or live stock.

While I enjoyed the series greatly at the time it should be noted that most of the modern Russian govmt were strangely supportive of it.
By which I mean they had great reason to like it, as it repopularised the notion of nuclear power as inherently dangerous which works great for the fossil fuel export dependent economy of Russia.
The original event of Chernobyl put a death notice on the already shaky nuclear industry in Germany, and many other countries further development of nuclear power on hold thereafter, despite western designs being much safer to operate.
This a great show. Guy who worked on this worked on Last of Us too. HBO knows how to make shows
What’s your favorite episode of this series ?
Episodes 3 and 4
I agree definitely the best
Episode 3 is my favorite but the last episode was unbelievable as well, I can’t wait for your reaction to it.
5, just because it all comes together and you get to see what led up to the accident
3 is my favorite, followed closely by 2 and 5. But all episodes were amazing.
They're far from B actors. Jared Harris was in many movies, broadway, and tv shows, Mad Men to be one. Stellan Skarshard has been in several big movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, Goodwill hunting, Thor/Avengers, Dune
Harris also played Elizabeth II's father in The Crown. He also gets some of his acting genes from his dad, Richard Harris (Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator, etc.)
To continue my comments from Episode 1..... You now realize how serious the situation is and how the Soviet bureaucracy works.... The flashlights have self generating power they just have to pump the switch to turn them on.... Hold on it next episode only gets worse...
In real life, they actually didn't have windup lights; once their main lights went out, they had to complete their mission in total darkness by following the pipes in and out. Of course, there's no way to have a scene in ACTUAL complete darkness, so in the miniseries they have the backup windup lights.
No thats not turn. Research about light with self generating windup generators@@SpearM3064
"She was the first perso who outed me!!!" 😂
I watched this with my partner who, as soon as he saw Jared Harris, said "Oh, that is... the British Stellan Skarsgård" and 5min later he proclaimed "Oh, and there's the actual Stellan Skarsgård".
Awesome series, and very good reactions. This is scary, intense, and they capture that feeling so very perfectly.... thank you for watching!
Crazy Fact all 3 of the workers involved in the draining lived long lives.
True, but their exposure during their fast transit to and from the sluice gate control while significant was not nearly as lengthy as that of Toptunov and Akimov
Those 2 poor souls spent hours manually opening the valves in irradiated water - they were doomed, and what's worse is that it was both an action hopelessly in vain, and one that likely even contributed further to the irradiation of the area as most of that water likely just vaporised the moment it got anywhere near the exposed core, thus spreading radiation as it condensed on surfaces and later rained down.
Typical comment...copy/pasted here...
In this episode, there were a few things the makers of the show changed for various reasons. For one thing, the character who said that they should close off the city in the first episode and is evacuated in this one, did not exist...he was added for dramatic purposes.
As I mentioned in my comment to episode 1, once you are done with the series, the History vs Hollywood article on the show is a must read.
you'd actually need 125 combined hiroshima bombs to create a 2 megaton explosion.
The Little Boy Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons, 15 thousand tons of TNT equivalent. 2-4 megatons, 2-4 million tons of TNT equivalent, is hydrogen bomb size.
18:13 | 18:19 If that had been factually correct, 2-4 megatons would have been (however many times) the yield of a 1.2 megaton W56 warhead. Let along few hundred times the yield of the 15 kiloton Hiroshima bomb. Nuclear engineers on youtube and reddit stated that this is grossly innacurate.
What I wonder about though, is if the Soviet scientists believed this yield amount to be plausible in 1986, shortly after the disaster. Hindsight being 20/20 three decades after the fact with everything learned since then. Even if this number was fiction for 'dramatic effect', we know that 3 plant workers were sent to open the sluice gate valve to drain the tanks and prevent further catastrophe from the steam explosion.
The Soviet Union almost destroyed the world with this disaster if that thermal explosion occurred
They didn´t tell the world, since there was Cold War back then, until a week later. The cloud was already over half of europe. Inculding my place. I was 15 back then. I grew up in East Germany. We could not eat fruits, vegetables from the garten or drink Milk or eat meat . I had promblems with my tyroid and had to take iodine like many others.
scary thing is in Japan happened something similar
This show was amazing I watched it all in one night I couldn’t turn it off
I can imagine, if I wasn’t reacting to it I would have as well. -Rick
Teachers like that were terrible.
They ain’t “B” actors, they are great actors, just not very well known.
This series really is serile 💯
B actors?
Please don't slam down your shot glasses or clap right next to the mic. Liked your reaction but dang, my ears hurt like heck when you slammed the glass and clapped at the end lol. gotta also say that I love the fact that you don't have the show turned down extremely low like many others and that you get about 20min of the show in; that makes me very happy since a lot of reactors only put about half that in their videos.
'B' actors seems so insulting. I think 'character actors' or 'supporting actors' would be a much better term.
The kind of person you see in a movie or show and say "hey, its THAT guy!"
This show is full of them.
