My reaction to Season 1 Episode 3 of Chernobyl. A showcase once more of the fragility of human life. I couldn't even feel terrified by the sight of the power plant operators in the hospital, rather I only felt a great deal of respect. The same can definitely be said for the miners who sure took over the spotlight in this episode.

Go and check it out! Thanks for watching :)
Dyatlov earlier in his real life career ran a smaller nuclear radiation lab that suffered from nuclear radiation leak accident with him in charge and ironically he is in charge of this reactor that night when the core exploded as well. Is that a coincidence?
Something the makers of the show changed for entertainment purposes in this episode is the way the coal minister and coal miners interacted. The Deputy Minister of Mining met with the miners, and basically gave them 24 hours to be ready to go to Chernobyl...there was no humorous coal dust on the suit moment. The meeting between the Minster and miners is covered in the History vs Hollywood article I recommended...as is the fact that the miners did not work in the nude.💯✌
Stop recommending this crap "article".
6:00 Yes it is very bad to be near those people. They absorbed the radioactive material when they were putting out those fires - mostly via breathing the radioactive dust. So there is plenty of radioactive molecules still decaying inside their bodies. Of course it depends how much they were exposed.
...Well that's what was believed at the time, but now we know better. The majority of their exposure was just from being near radioactive material, and most of the dust would have settled on their clothes, skin and hair. That's why the first priority for the doctor who knew what she was doing was to get the uniforms as far away from people as possible. But once the firefighters themselves had changed clothes and gotten scrubbed down, they were fine; the problem wasn't that they were still full of radiation, it was the radiation they had been exposed to already - gamma particles shredded their DNA like swiss cheese, and their bodies slowly fell apart as a result, since it no longer knew how to replace the cells that were dying. Trust me, the Chernobyl victims really weren't the worst cases of ARS that the world has ever seen - that dubious honor goes to Hisashi Ouichi. Don't look that up if you want to sleep tonight. It's horrifying. He was exposed to about three times the dose the Chernobyl firefighters and plant workers recieved, and his experience was definitely more horrifying than theirs, if only for how long it was dragged out. Anyways he wasn't dangerous. Neither were the victims of Chernobyl.
But radiation is scary, and people tend to assume anything exposed to radiation is immediately fucked. Ironically, most of that fear comes from Chernobyl scaring the shit out of literally everyone - only a year after this disaster, the Goiana contamination incident occurred in Brazil, which only killed a few people, but caused a furious mob of two thousand terrified people to violently protest one of the victims being allowed to have a funeral... with the victim in question being a six year old girl. She was being given a Chernobyl style funeral of lead coffin and concrete, but the rioters were certain her body would kill them all anyways... somehow. She was buried anyways, and guess what, nothing happened. ...Also don't look up the Goiana contamination incident if you want to sleep tonight, it's really fucking depressing.
That being said, the doctors treating the Chernobyl victims were still following the correct protocol for ARS patients - one of the main problems is that their immune system is completely fucked, so if literally anything else goes wrong, they're dead. So yes, ARS patients need extremely limited visitors, and the few who are allowed in should not approach the patients... because if they've got even a simple cold incubating, the patient will die. Basically, Lyudmilla breaking quarantine was considerable more dangerous for Vasily than it was for her. ...Not that it mattered much in his case, but still.
Im so happy you're reacting to this. One of the most captivating shows imo
Finally!!
In all the reactions I've seen so far, finally someone who isn't on that high horse and boasting about not touching her husband...
Absolutely nobody would just go home and let their partner die and in pain, without any explanation and just because someone says it's dangerous.
Thank you!! I'm glad that someone understands her position .
It really annoys me that many commentators react in such an insensitive and arrogant way, even though they wouldn't do it any differently themselves.
People didn't know any better then, there was no internet, the effects of radiation were not known, and the accident was kept silent. She thought he had burns, no one explained more... Of course she stayed.
Also, radiation sickness is not contagious. Once the outer skin has been washed, the radiation cannot spread to other people, even through touch. Even though the show seems to be, falsely, alluding to that. The fact that Lyudmilla's unborn child died was not because of her touching her husband. The child probably died because of excessive stress and low exposure to radiation from the blast.
This is something I can't understand.
I know quite some russion people who saw this series said something like "This series is made to make the russians look as bad as possible".
What I see is certainly a series that shows real depths of cowardise and stupidity, but also probably the most dedication and heroism I have ever seen in a desaster series.
yes, i feel that every single who participated in cleanup and containment of this disaster is a hero and incredibly brave. while there was incompetence, it's not like there's not incompetence and stupidity at high levels all over the world in all kinds of governments.
It’s because most Russians are still conditioned that they’re the best country, people, leadership structure in the world, with the best leaders who are completely infallible and the rest of the world are conspiratorial or lying or wrong.
The Soviets looked bad because they were NOTORIOUSLY flippant about the lives of their citizens. They had so many environmental/nuclear disasters that they tried to cover up. They simply didn’t care about their people dying as long as the USSR looked powerful.
At around 9:20 you wondered who was watching Legasov in the future? That was still the KGB...Legasov died in 1988, the USSR had not fallen yet, so it was still the Soviet Union that was watching him. Also, take note that the two people following them in this episode are the same two people that were at the bar with Legasov in episode 2...the ones he lied to when they asked him if they needed to be worried about Chernobyl...so the KGB was watching him AND testing him even then.
At 9:34 you comment that she knows even more than he does...but she doesn't, really. No spoilers...you will find out why at the end of the series.😉
At around 22:30, you picked up on Legasov maybe knowing more than he has been saying...most folks miss that, so you are quite observant...again, no spoilers, your guess is not quite right, but you are on to something. And yes...the reactor did explode after the operators activated the emergency shutdown system in real life.
The saddest part about the story of the miners is that the meltdown stopped well before the heat exchanger was needed.😢
To be fair, they always knew the heat exchanger might not be needed, it was just that the risk was serious enough they had to do it anyways. The miners who dug the tunnel were extremely proud of the work they did, as if it did end up being necessary, they really fucking needed to have it there. They decided they'd rather risk their own lives than gamble with the lives of millions. What's not to be proud of there?
@@dickbong3661 Nothing I said had anything to do with the miners' pride in doing the work they did. I just expressed sadness that their work did not end up being needed in the end. Of course they still had to do the work, and of course they are heroes for doing regardless of the end result, and nothing I said took anything away from that. Did you use a translator that turned my English word "saddest" into something other than an expression of the emotion of sadness, or something? Because you definitely read something that I did not write.
You might be the only person on RUclips who has a laughing reaction on your thumbnail for this show. 😅
Lmao, I'm sure I wasn't the only one laughing at that particular scene though. Pretty sure it's meant to be comedic ;)
@@RobinoyoReacts You're definitely not the only one. When your video popped up in my feed I said "that was the last face I expected." 😅
This show has really depressing tone intended and all the dark topics on it to be cuestioned by the audience so don't worry if that how your final discussion end up being 😂 great reaction mate and this definitely it's an amazing mini-serie
Beware mistaking stupidity for ill intent - the former is FAR more common, even within the framework of the USSR of that era.
Yeah I definitely agree. Ill intent is indeed often assumed, I'm very much aware of that, and even then I guess I was too eager to question it as well.
While the show will dramatize the hospital scenes and say its bad to be around those who have had exposure to high radiation. I believe that its not really possible to be in danger while around them. In the show its made to be more dramatic of course. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can't get like second hand radiation from people who had a high exposure to it.
Hi, Zuto
Yes, you are incorrect.
Second hand radiation poisoning is absolutely a thing. People who are externally contaminated with radioactive material can contaminate other people or surfaces that they touch bc of radioactive dust. People who are internally contaminated, such as by breathing in the dust, can expose people near them to radiation from the radioactive material inside their bodies. Like the body fluids (blood, sweat, urine) of an internally contaminated person.
In the case of the patients from Chernobyl they were both externally and internally contaminated at severely elevated levels.
Today even some forms of radiation therapy require the patient to limit exposure to others for a period of time. One such therapy is Oral or systemic radiation treatment, where unsealed radioactive substance goes through the whole body. The drugs are kept in special containers, patients are treated in a shielded room to contain the radiation and the healthcare provider wears protective clothing while administering the drugs. The patient then has to take precautions like washing laundry separately, flushing twice after the bathroom, use separate utensils/towels, no contact with others especially pregnant women, children, avoid pets, public transport, work etc.
I know this about the radiation therapy bc it was why I was kept from my mom for periods of time as a child.
I’m sorry for the long comment. I just thought it was important information ❤
@@Vanessa7831 Thanks a lot Vanessa for further clarifying! So fascinating to receive all these comments from people with first hand experience to the subject matter. I really appreciate it! Still hearted Zuto's comment too as I'm sure it was made in good faith nonetheless.
@@Vanessa7831 thank you for the clarification. Yea wasn't sure about the whole thing, just something I heard but guess it was wrong
❤
Since when Ukraine is a third world country? 😄😹
Since always?
