My guess is that they didn‘t burn their bodies because it could have spread the radioactive particles through the smoke.
That is correct
they had to bury everyone who died at the site in lead coffins.
@@FatGouf Zink coffins. They were welded shut.
@Yankis The caskets were nevertheless made of solid zinc, which is also quite resistant to radiation, welded shut, and buried under concrete in a private cematery in Moscow. Just months later, the remains of Lyudmilla and Vasily's child would be buried at the foot of his grave, also in a tiny zinc box.
@Yankis Zink coffin - is a standart Soviet Army coffin.
The leader of the miners is a straight up Boss. Cares about his men. Ain't taking crap from anyone.
I kinda want to be him when I grow up.
Unfortunately hundred of them would die from this!
@@clarencemerritt5003 Even more unfortunate is thay the core never melted through the concrete pad, so they died to stop something that never happened
@@Loafed_Beans It's more the thought that they risked their lives to stop something that may have been devastating to millions of people.
@@Loafed_Beans It melted more than halfway though though. What they did is securing underground waters for millennia. Half melted basement isn't going to hold itself forever
1:10 Dyatlov died in 1995
18:38 Radiation dont burn in oven. Radioactive elements are already inside the body. Even if the body is destroyed, radioactive elements will remain
It's amazing he lived that long though. Especially considering he was exposed to a lifetime dose previously while working on submarine reactors
1:10 I think she actually read about Fomin and not Dyatlov. Fomin is the one that tried to commit suicide and was eventually released for mental health reasons. I believe he's still alive today
Alex F, well... russian is my first language so... thanks...
Katie Sword ...
Can't say i've ever seen another reactor who went and did outside historical research between eps. You're awesome! Keep up the great vids
LOL, I had to reread your post many times to understand that by reactor you meant someone reacting to videos. In this context I assumed "nuclear reactor"
@@alicaljungberg3742 lolololol
Here here. Makes it all the more interesting and enjoyable because unlike most reactors she's actually making an effort to fully understand what the show is depicting and the people involved.
I'll never be able to unsee the way his skin was at the end...deadass the scariest thing I ever seen bruh, scarier than any of that shit in horror movies
Dude what you saw was the toned down TV version of what happened to those firefighters,
In reality that husband was spitting up his own organs and his wife was desperately trying to put them back in by hand.
Real Talk. That's something I can't unsee..
Toned down for tv
Reality is worse
There's one plant worker, Akimov, who they decided not to show because it would've been too much. So you think of how bad Vasily looked... how much that bothers you... think of how much worse Akimov must have looked for them to decide to cut it so that he's not shown. And yes the make up work is based on real photos... toned down for TV even. Horrifying.
They toned it down, bones were exposed, coughing up his own organs, blood from every part of his skin seeping out.
The miners were my favorite characters. I loved how they were just so 100% honest and in people's faces. And they still did the job that needed to be done, knowing what it might do to them, even though you could tell they didn't seem to like anyone else.
My husband and I have been watching "Chernobyl". When each episode ends we are both silent for a few seconds. It's so much to wrap your brain around. When we saw the scene where the wife goes into the plastic I gasped, whispered "oh my God" and covered my face for a moment. That firefighter was the most horrific sight I've ever seen. I truly mean it. And it was based on eyewitness statements. Those poor men! I'm glad they put the naked miners in this episode just to give the audience a laugh after something so horrifying. And like everyone says , it really happened. I grew up with the cold war so I knew the Soviet Union didn't tell the truth but I didn't think they would go so far as to endanger people's lives. I'm glad they made this series so we can see what really happened, appreciate those who risked their lives, and see the devastation that happens when politicians ignore scientists.
The naked miners did not make me laugh, they made me sad. They reminded me of how inadequate I am in the length and girth department.
@@peterk.rosenthal1417 is funny cuz' they're doing what they want and no one could say anything, they've balls!
One quarter of the miners eventually got cancer.
And not even the worst was shown about the firefighter's condition. Sepsis and cell death of the skin and blood vessels is one thing... Him excreting his internal organs is another. Your guts peel off, basically, and you expel that in bloody diarrhea (and this is a source for sepsis). On the last few days that man was literally vomiting pieces of his internal organs.
The only reason he lived to that point is that generally the nervous system and the heart aren't meant to go through cell replacement. That's the primary thing ionizing radiation does: either it stops your cells from dividing or it kicks cell division into overdrive.
@@Tounushi I read about this too. I just can't remember where. I'm grateful they spared us the worst of it. The firefighter was more horrifying than anything I could I could ever imagine.
I haven't read about the miners yet but I will. Those men were so brave and did what they were told to do but it ended up not being necessary.
I've been watching a lot of documentaries about Chernobyl and reading a lot too. I remember when this happened and of course, we didn't have access to information like we do now so I didn't follow up with what happened. But I feel like I should have when the information became available.
@@Tounushi I'm very glad as well that they had the respect not to show him choking out chunks of necrotic lung and liver. And Lyudmilla actually cleaned that crud from his mouth and throat to keep him alive for that little bit longer... Also horrifying is that I've seen some of the pictures that they based that silicone full-body prosthesis on. They did a fairly accurate job recreating the various stages of extremely severe radiation poisoning. Parts of some of the photos of the firefighters I've seen are even worse.
She didn't know. None of them knew that radiation did this to people. They were NEVER educated by their government on the effects and the ways radiation destroys a person. Vitaly's wife never knew that it was essentially contagious. Also, she did live, but I won't give you any spoilers. EDIT: Well you already seem to know the baby died. She did live. The baby absorbed all the radiation. 2nd EDIT: My favorite line in any You Tube video ever. "Dicks is swingin', dicks is out, dicks is out!" LOLOLOL.
It's a fundamental human instinct to want to stay with and touch our sick and dying loved ones. It's difficult to get people to completely override that instinct, even educated people, but of course especially those living in traditional communities. This is a real problem in contemporary Ebola outbreaks, for instance.
you are really right, but firefigher is vasiliy (vasya) not vitaliy. similar names
@@YuliyaHorobets wow. I can't believe I messed that up. Thanks for the correction.
She was 23 and they just married not that long ago. At least she was there for him to provide a modicum of respite when no-one else would... and paid for it dearly.
I don’t think any one in the world were educated until it happened
50 degrees Celsius is like 120-130+ degrees Fahrenheit
The sustained summer time temperature of India and Pakistan this year and last year.
Omg! My dumbass was thinking 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I was wondering why they were so hot. That is hot as shit!
50 degrees is 122 fahrenheit to be precise.
@@robinhood5627 No wonder my downstairs neighbors never turn on their AC
@@robinhood5627 Nope. It's in the 30s. 30-33 degrees this summer. No way in hell average temperature per summer was 50 degrees in India
If you read the book Voices of Chernobyl you can read her full account she was 23 still newlyweds its heartbreaking to read she mentions making soup for her husband and other firefighters getting tootpaste and sheets for all of them she says alot of the nurses didnt even want to touch them and soldiers changed sheets etc but she cared for her husband they did a bone marrow transplant from Vaslys sister which didnt work and caused the sister to become disabled. She is seen holding his shoes at the graveside as they couldn't fit onto her husbands feet after he died and didnt have any large enough to fit so he was buried barefoot. She mentions that in her dreams he is barefoot and goes to a preist and explains this the preist says place the shoes in a coffin with a note to say to pass the shoes to her husband she says she did this We look at her actions knowing the about the effects the wifes were told it was a gas explosion for a few days. I think they were never told of real danger of radation She still calls him my love in the 2006 interview.
thank you for this information, it changes my perspective of her story
Do you have any idea where I can find this book online? I have tried to find it in audiobook form, even Audible and Scribd do not have it...at this point I would be happy just to be able to read it.
Kristin Wood I found it on iBooks, it is already translated
@@bigums21 Thank you very much.
I will have to get this book thanks for the information I was wondering why she was holding his shoes at the end
9:12 "How are they supposed to keep themselves cool".....you'll see... :P
I thought the exact same thing, at the exact same time
THEY GOT NEKKIT
Those bodies were so irradiated that they would contaminate a large area if they were burned. Burying them in lead coffins and concrete was the safest option.The reason they didn't show Akimov when they were being questioned is because by that point he had no face. It was all exposed tissue and bone, like Red Skull bot horribly worse. He was a fairly handsome man
More like the security guy from The Fly 2...
This wasn't actually realistic. Only one person was buried like that and it was because they had little pieces of radioactive metal inside their body. The concrete was also put under the coffin, not all around it, to prevent it from contaminating any ground water that might have been below the site. There was enough dirt, combined with the coffin, to prevent it from contaminating anything above ground. That body will be radioactive for years because of those little metal pieces though. Once gamma radiation passes through a human body, that body is no longer irradiated. Any non-living material like clothes, however, were irradiated.
@@noconaroubideaux9423 You're gonna have to alert the Moscow authorities then, because everyone involved stated the firemen were buried in lead caskets
@@panzerwolf494 I've never seen one statement from anyone claiming there were mass graves of of lead covered coffins buried in cement other than the individual one I talked about so show me some of these statements. I wouldn't be surprised if they did do this even though it wasn't dangerous to just bury them normally.
@@noconaroubideaux9423 Well, aside from everything stating as much, i have the book from Gregori Medvedev that was one of the authorities/scientists that took part that talks about it. The original 15 firefighters were buried in lead caskets and covered with concrete slabs. Two graves were symbolic as one man had been buried in a village nearby because he had died that day. Another was buried near Kiev because he was evacuated there for medical help.
Info for you: the only fictialized character is the female scientist, an amalgamate of several scientists.
They explain that on the credits of the last episode too.
Had to inject a little FEMINISM
Lyudmilla Ignatenko (the firefighter's wife) tells her story in the Prologue: A Solitary Human Voice in "Voices From Chernobyl." Her baby daughter Natasha was born dead with cirrhosis of the liver and congestive heart failure. The doctors said that the baby absorbed 68 roentgens of radiation that the mother would have absorbed. Lyudmilla relocated to Kiev. She suffered strokes for the rest of her life. Online sources say either she's still alive or she died in 2011. In "Voices" she does say that she remarried and she had a son who was sickly.
BTW ManicMeeks, I enjoyed your reaction to the naked miners. This episode was so heavy we needed a bit of humor.
I thought she just met a dude and said "hey I just want a child" and he isn't living with her.
She gave birth to a son named Anatoliy.
It was in the 1 chapter... Are there more her chapters there and she married?
@@YuliyaHorobets She didn't remarry. Her son was also sickly and nearly died; by chance, he got treatment in Cuba and survived, but she's been living in extreme poverty, last I heard of her.
I'm not sure if you know, but there's also "The Chernobyl Podcast" by HBO for every episode of this series, where Peter Sagal and Craig Mazin (writer of the show) talk about each episode, stuff they left out and behind he scenes).
If you haven't heard it already, I recommended it - it's available on the HBO app, wherever you can get your podcasts and RUclips.
Anyhow, great reaction - glad to see you did your own investigation and... yeah, next episode... uff 😓
Most chilling comment I read about those bodies is they weren't burying the dead they were disposing of nuclear waste.
Jokerz 79 so you saw my comment then
'When people think they know better than doctors’. That’s totally not the case here.
That’s love. In reality, Lyudmila was (in the end) the only one taking care of her dying husband as no nurses wanted to touch him. To the very moment of his death, he was aware of his surroundings, calling for her.
She was also the only one allowed in the ward. The wives of other firefighters and workers weren’t let in to the hospital (her family had provided a lot of bribes, spending the majority of their own money for her to be in there), so she was the only one in the know who could inform the others about what was happening to their family members. She also cared for the other dying fire fighters, cooking for them, bringing towels, toothbrushes, presents from their families, letters, all they needed. She attended all of the funerals. She committed herself fully. She was not aware about the radiation affecting her baby. In interviews she says she was sure that the fact that baby is inside of her is logical that the fetus is protected. She was a common woman, only 23, who was insanely courageous to do what she did was right even upon being told that her husband is not human anymore, that he’s a 'reactor'. It’s also quite common for us to consider bravery insane. Or insanity brave. What she was doing may seem insane from our, more educated, better-informed point of view of an outsider.
I’m also not saying that if she didn’t do any of that it’d mean that she didn’t love him hard ‘enough’, nope. She loved him so she did it. She did it because she couldn’t imagine doing anything else, or nothing at all for that matter. Different people react differently upon different circumstances: the basics of psychology.
16:51 If you burn a body filled with radioactive particles you just create ash and smoke filled with radioactive particles. A radioactive substance can only be contained, not destroyed, so you contain it until it has decayed into a non radioactive substance by trapping it in cement or burying it somewhere where nothing can get at it and it can't get at anything.
IRL those people who went into the water only had one flashlight and no backups. They had to feel their way with the pipes.
The nurse missed saying one of the best lines they could've put in: "He's not a man anymore, he's a reactor."
"Gurl you ain't having shiiit" I'm dying yooooo
TheReivax27 it’s very uncaring, Lyudmilla was six months pregnant at the time and she was lied to about what happened to him. She still blames herself to this day for what happened to her baby. When it wasn’t her fault, she was the only one taking care of the firefighters because the staff refused to.
16:25 - Interesting fact: The place where this scene of Lagasov busting out Khomyuk from a KGB jail is now a government office in Lithuania, but 30+ years ago was an actual KGB jail where party opponents, political prisoners and other people deemed "a threat to the state" were temporarily kept.
I fully relate to Lyudmilla and her desire to stay by her husband side while he died. I don’t think anything could have drug me from my husband side when he died. I died with him. I felt as if my life ended and I couldn’t imagine going on without him, yet I did. Her actions fully make sense to me.
In the end, she did have a son.
Dyatlov is not alive. He died in 1995.
he survived that for far to long...
Gorbachev is still alive tho
Ragnarok
It’s true, she just mixed up Dyatlov and Fomin.
You're like the only person uploading reactions to Chernobyl. I don't get it, the show is awesome. Great reaction!
Give it time. This sucker will catch on. It's too good a series not to.
Yeah, try searching "Chernobyl reaction" next time instead of "Duh, I'm speshul"
@@panzerwolf494 Yeah I've done that, kinda how I found this reaction, dickhead
Yea I don’t get this either. Why do people, want to watch people, watch a show (that is a great show) with running commentary? What the hell am I in some fucked up time warp ?
That guy responding to you was a dick, try searching Chernobyl and then filter it to a week and as you find people check their channels, for other episodes. There are a few people doing reaction vids, reviews, etc... plus tons of informative videos.
Her's are my favorite so far.
Every episode leaves me with such a heavy heart when I think about how these people must have felt... but I can't stop watching, it's so well done!
Also, the miners gave me my ENTIRE life!
Wouldn't be HBO without some full frontal nudity! XD
In book Voices from Chernobyl, ludymila says that towards the end when she tried to change bedsheet for him (cuz nurses refused to get anywhere near firefighters) she picked up his hand and she could feel the bone bent and wobble.
Those 3 guys who went in there were some brave men. Holy shit.
"We're still wearing the fucking hats"
my favorite line from the show. That miner guy is my favorite character from this show. He takes no bullshit. He cares about his men. And honestly, it's admirable. Love it.
My dad was a coal miner I was born 84 in Romania a few hundred miles away I am glad they did this show also why don't more people react to it? It's great!
It's actually the most watched show in the world right now.
Yes was waiting for this reaction....keep up the good work.
Lyudmilla wouldn't have known the effects of radiation, and how it would be transferred to her (and her baby). No one seemed to know, except the experts. And to be fair, if I was her, I'd want to be with my lad 24/7 if he was suffering like that.
Dxxks is swinging. LMAO I'm STILL laughing.
You seem like a good person, but you don't understand the system. And how people can be commited to the point of beyond death.
I'm russian and i neither can understand the system
They show is actually very accurate. My family is from Kiev and saw a lot firsthand. And the effects of the radiation were very realistically portrayed. I would recommend listening to the Podcast, a lot of additional info on how the writer got his info and how accurate the show really is.
Burning those initially super-irradiated bodies.....it would have only cast radioactive ash into the air, and the ashes left on the ground or in some oven would still be clicking-hot for 10,000 years. Burying them in lead coffins and encasing those in concrete is the only half-useful measure.
"I wonder why they didn't just burn the bodies". Because the radiation in the bodies would be released with the fumes.
As a Canadian I gotta admit, I get a kinda chuckle whenever I see the rest of the world using metric and an American goes "WTF is Metric?". Just kinda funny that it's like the only country to use Imperial for some damn reason.
Actually there's 2 other countries that use imperial,
1 in Africa and another in the middle East, I forget their names though.
@@FordyGames Libera in Africa and Burma in Asia.
@@thanderlin4058 ah thanks
@@FordyGames Okay but...that's Africa.
Let's keep this Western sir.
@@robert04872 fair enough 😂
This isn't about "ass coverage." It was always about worldwide perception about country and party. The Soviets have had a long, long history of treating their own people as expendable in order to maintain state secrets and keep control.
Lol yeah, just the Soviets. Of course.
@@MARYWTHER at no point does the comment say this applies to "just the Soviets."
Lyudmila isn't stupid... she just honestly does not understand what radiation does. The nurse just keeps telling her not to touch him, but she doesn't understand WHY. They never explained to her why the radiation is bad. All she saw was that he is burned. She thought she couldn't touch him because it would harm him, she really didn't understand that it could hurt her or her baby.
02:41 The batteries in the flashlights with the three men going into to turn the valves did go out and they had no way of turning them back on. They accomplished their task in total darkness. 04:05 Ludmilla (the wife) still refers to this man as "my love." Yes, she's still alive. 06:38 There was a just a moment there--the Minister of Coal looked pleased, even proud. The acting in this is soooooo good! 11:37 Knowledge of radiation and its dangers were not at all generally understood in the 1980s in the Soviet Union. Some people even thought vodka would "disinfect" you. 13:09 One quarter of the miners died young. 16:59 Burning the bodies doesn't destroy the radioactivity. It just breaks the radioactive body into tinier pieces harder to account for.
For those who don't know, the huge painting on the wall is Ivan the Terrible, cradling his son, whom he stuck and accidentally killed during an argument. It's a fitting metaphor as younger generations would see their lives cut short because of the secrecy and lies of the older generations of Soviets.
Yes,she is still alive,she lives currently in Kiev
She remarried, and had at least one healthy son. She also had at least one stroke, at far too young an age for it not to be related to her radiation exposure.
neuralmute She didn’t remarry, but she had a son. He’s not very healthy though, he was born with a slew of birth defects and had to go to Cuba to get treatment. He is very sickly and she has suffered many strokes throughout her life because of the radiation.
“They didn’t heed anything in the 80s” 😂
yeah that got me-that should be the tagline of thee series
Burning bodies in fire does not change anything. It would still be radioactive (just like smoke from burning reactor). So burning would require amazing filtration and filters would become radioactive and would have to buried as well, I bet the clothes and bed sheets were also hid somewhere beneath ground....
The funeral scene, i think at the end of it they should of just pulled a sheet over the hole/grave and everybody leaves, THEN bring in the cement truck, they don't want those images of concrete covering their loved ones i thought.
And Ep4 is awesome! So realistic.
peteq1972 - They had already seen the people they loved essentially melt and get carried out in a plastic bag on a metal tray. Sure watching them get submerged in cement is the last straw but at that point it wouldn't have mattered. They're still dead and they still died in one of the most horrific and torturous ways possible; and they're loved ones could do little more than watch. Some, if not most, couldn't even do that
I love your commentary on the show! This has been a most surprising and intense miniseries.
It's interesting seeing (Stellan Skarsgård's character) Scherbina's answer to the crew chief's question on if the men would be taken care of. Back in episode 1, had he been asked then, he would've given some BS apparatchik line saying "Oh yes, the State will take care of them!"; now at episode 3, given what he's experienced, he at least gives it to them straight like a normal human being. It's neat seeing his journey from just being some dismissive bureaucrat to becoming a major advocate for Lagasov and the truth (though he still is walking that tightrope between exposing the truth and not upsetting the Soviet apple cart).
You missed a vital piece of information,
In the trailer he tell legasov not to bother lying to them because they'll see right through it.
OMG months back I saw another reaction and needed a break b/c it was difficult, I didn't see yours until after I saw theirs. Love this reaction!!! And now during this pandemic, some the arguments between the top officials in this series and your commentary about some wanting to know more than the doctors/scientists, girl!!!!! It is everything!!! Not so much the wife, b/c she may not care if she dies and she's not trying to contradict the experts. However, the top officials, this most certainly applies.
16:55 You don't burn the bodies because the radioactive particle would be dispersed by smoke. And you would still need to burry the ashes in concrete.
*Opaaahhhhh!* I was waiting for you to get to episode 3!
Also the firemen looked like they were doing fine at first because acute radiation sickness has a latency period of a day or so when you feel ok. Then all hell breaks lose
So much ass covering but those diggers are letting it all hang out. Not just a "joke" but relevant symbolism as well.
These miners were such BADASSES, I loved the chief, I mean, such a clever man.
Love your reactions. Wait until you get to episode 4. Very good show. Amazing acting. Thanks for your reaction keep them coming.
The US was and is not any worse. There have been so many small nuclear and chemical disasters in the US that have been swept under the Rug. The only time things comes to the surface is when things have gone out of control to an extent that it is no longer possible to keep it covered.
If you love animals.... Skip over some of the next episode. You'll thank me later.
I love animals too, but you just have to grin and bare it. It's part of the story, as sad as it is.....
Anatoly Dyatlov died 9 years after Chernobyl (1995) at 64 years old.
"I'm having your baby"
"Girl, you ain't havin shit!"
LOL!
I watched this and commented about all the smoking as well - then I realized they were literally tunneling into a busted ass nuclear reactor. Carry on, men. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em.
You can still get those dynamo crank flashlights as emergency lights. They're pretty cool. Not very bright, but they'll do in a pinch and will never run out of power like battery-powered lights.
Oh I really really like your commentary, it's so very on point.
Another great vid! Love your reactions! (The only ones who didn't "cover their asses" were the miners... literally.) :-)
Don’t be hard on Lyudmilla Ignatenko. She didn’t know and they did not explain why she couldn’t touch him. The loved ones were lied to in the beginning and told it was a gas poisoning not radiation. The story of Lyudmilla and Vasily is more tragic in real life.
She was Actually six months pregnant at the time. And she was the only one who is taking care of the fire fighter is in the hospital because the staff refused to touch them.
She is not stupid. She was misinformed. We have the power of hindsight and info they did not have. Don’t be hard on her, she didn’t know.
They were only dressed up like that for the protection of the men because they didn’t have an immune system anymore.
I’m sorry but I have to click away. A friend of mine is family friends with her and her life is in ruins.
That moment at the end with the lead coffins being covered in concert is the saddest moment for me in the Chernobyl story and the reason why they didn't burn the body's or the sheets they where on is because even after they died the radioactivity doesn't go away it stays in there forever that's why they rapped them in plastic and then put them in lead coffins welded shut then covered over in concert other wies there body's would contaminate the ground they are barred in
Ignatenko who is the husband had WAAAY worse effects than what's shown in the show...for example he coughed up his own lungs His wife LwedMilla (sorry for the misspelling) used to pull out the stuff Ignatenko coughed up..changed his diapers and cooked for him and the other firefighters....she stayed with him till the end..she loved him..even as the irradiated bloated mess that he was in his last moments..also once one of the doctors lifted up (Ignatenko's?) arm and just the bone came up while the muscles just plopped about like cooked meat
You should check the story of Hisashi Ouchi, that is the man who's was expose to the highest amount of radiation and kept alive for 83 days keep word "Kept Alive" the man who's DNA melted...
Both the melting (the lava) and the radiation effects are not only real, but they also ware much worse in real life. There are videos of the victims in the hospital, you can find them on RUclips (but they are hard to watch)
Pass. Total pass. Rip brave men.
the effects of radiation poisoning on the plant workers and some firemen is accurate though isn't it. i'm pretty sure i read that those are indeed the symptoms of acute radiation sickness. it just depends how long you are around it and how close and to what extent you've been poisoned.
"Baby when I say I am ready for episode three I am ready for episode three."
You're really, really not.
Subscribed! Enjoyed your commentary.
11:46
"We're having a baby"
"Girl you ain't having SHIT! "
I CAN'T BREATHE
They didn’t burn the bodies because it would put that radiation back in the air.
There is a documentary called, The Battle of Shernobyl that was made 20 years after the accident. I highly recommend it. It is told from the perspective of some of the people who were involved with dealing with the tragedy. The film also uses actual film that was shot in and around the disaster.
"Girl you ain't having shit"
LMAO.
thank you thank you thank you for reacting to this show!
I wish it was not true.... North Korea should watch this before starting any war...god save us all from any such thing in future
They even forced people from other countries(LATVIA, ESTONIA,LITHUANIA) to come do the "clean up",but didn't tell them what danger they were in. 6000 people went from Latvia, most of them got sick of radiation related illness and/or there kids got sick. They were given boots at the site and they were sent home in those same damn boots-full with radiation. Now,they are left to battle the health issues for themselves, with no money for the help/work they did there,horrific.
Thanks for fixing. I don't understand why they let those men suffer when they knew radiation was going to kill them.
they want to use them for scientific research
I was in Europe and Downwind of this when it happened. We couldn't eat
or drink any dairy or egg from the Economy. We drank a lot of powdered milk and
ate powdered eggs for a good four months. Chernobyl was not the only Soviet
Nuclear Accident and not the worst Soviet Nuclear Accident. Since 1950 the
Soviet Union had 57 land based Nuclear Accidents. The worst of which more than
doubled the release of Chernobyl. These, for the most part, were in desolate
places and closed cities in Siberia and Kazakhstan and not reported. One
accident was in Leningrad/ St. Petersburg! They had releases of weaponized
anthrax among other things that wiped out whole villages. Those villages are no
longer on the map. Welcome to Socialism.
Burning would just spread the radioactivity and it would be concentrated in their remains. Coal ash is radioactive and contains heavy metals for example.
"GIRL YOU AINT HAVING SHIT" lmao
The firefighters wife was literally outside after the accident happened. Any raditiation she could have gotten exposed to by touching her husband is nowhere near what she already got exposed to in Pripyat. She lost her baby because they didn't imediatly evacuate the city.
They made her look stupid in the show when in fact she was not. Radiation poisoning is not like some virus. In reality she was the only one who really gave a shit about the firefighters. The nurses were so scared to got near them that the woman take care of all of them, not just her husband.
Have you watched the docuseries on Netflix called “Athlete A”? I had heard a little about it but never to the extend of the series....very good and informative, also very tragic
They did not burn the bodies because radiation illnesses and radioactive molecules does not work like "walking dead" series Zombie bites or something. Radiation and molecules affected by that Can survive fire damage. Burrying them in lead and concrete was One of few smart ideas they did.
One thing I keep telling a lot of people who are outraged about her being close to him is this... a lot of the staff refused to care for the irradiated patients because they were scared of getting sick. The stopped changing their sheets and giving them medicine. It ended up falling on the families and the soldiers to care for them. There was also still a lot that wasn't known to the general public about radiation exposure. She thought that because the nurses touched him, it was okay for her.
Also, the victims of radiation sickness actually did die the way it was portrayed but it was much worse. They literally melted from the inside out. Read Voices of Chernobyl. There are witness accounts of what happened, even by Lydmilla, the firefighters wife.
One more thing, all the people portrayed except one are real. Ulana, the female scientist, is a culmination of all the scientists that helped work on the chernobyl disaster.
I couldn’t believe how a hospital would allow for so many rules to be broken.
nomedigaasi she bribed the medical personnel to get in. It was shown in the series. Corruption was the bane of the Soviet Union.
the lady was not stupid and didn't think she know better HBO on youtube got a amazing pod cast talking about each episode . First off all the average person didn't have a clue what radiation done to you or how it transferred and second The woman was asked "DO you have children " as the doc knew that the radiation could prevent her having kids in the future and she replayed yes as she I have kids . Thats why she was allowed in as she all ready had kids
👍🏼 looking forward to ep 2 and ep 4 Reactions
You know what the worst thing is...all the digging the miners did was ultimatly useless work cause it never melted like they predicted, it stopped before it...so they pretty much died for nothing...althought they couldn't take a chance...
11:12 “I don’t want him to die alone”
Honey, you’re gonna be joining him if you don’t leave
YESSS😂😂
The reason why she keeps touching him is the fact that most of the people weren't even aware what the ufckis a radiation before chernobyl and how it affects us through space and time.
Even in 2019 this RUclipsr doesn’t know enough about radiation and suggested burning irradiated bodies. I probably wouldn’t know much about radiation to save myself even after all the reading and watching.
Sorry but Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov is really dead, he died in december 1995. He recieved a dose of 3.9 Sieverts during the accident, usually that kills 50% of the people within 30 days, he survived and stood trial the next year together with Nikolai Fomin and Viktor Bryukhanov and found guilty. Dyatlov was sentenced to 10 years but was granted amnesty after five years. In 1995 he died of a heart failure.
About the people not wearing protection, they simply where never told nor teached in nuclear safety.
I regard this show not only as a great mini drama series, it is in my opinion the best documentary on Chernobyl to this date.
Chernobyl was not the only Soviet Nuclear Accident and not the worst Soviet Nuclear Accident. Since 1950 the Soviet Union had 57 land based Nuclear Accidents. The worst of which more than doubled the release of Chernobyl. These, for the most part, were in desolate places and closed cities in Siberia and Kazakhstan and not reported. One accident was in Leningrad/ St. Petersburg! They had releases of weaponized anthrax that wiped out whole villages among other things also. The Russians also have hundreds of Nuclear Batteries missing since the end of Communism. These batteries are huge and look like cast iron American footballs on a stand. Welcome to Socialism.
18:34 They didn't burn the bodies because whatever radioactive particles were left in their lungs and digestive systems and organs would have been sent up in the air by the smoke, even though it might not have been much, while the particles posed no threat inside the zinc coffins and the concrete. So the choice was easy.
Generally speaking there are three types of radiation (some subtypes but those I'm going to just leave out for the moment):
Alpha radiation (or the Alpha particle) is basically a helium nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons) so it's actually more of a particle. It's very easy to shield yourself from it and it doesn't remain for very long. If it only hits our skin nothing will happen and even a piece of paper shields you from most of the particles because they are so big. But if it hits the cells in your body, it is the most ionising of the three types, meaning also the most dangerous.
Beta radiation is essentially an electron. It's harder to shield yourself from it and it last longer than alpha radiation but it's doable. (They consume stable iodine to shield themselves from the radiactive iodine (which the thyroid would absorb) in the air which is a beta radiator)
Gamma radiation it the only radiation that is pretty much only electromagnetic like light but with a lot more energy and it's virtually impossible to shield yourself from it and it last until it is absorbed by something. Most nuclear decay has some gamma radiation as a byproduct. Generally in small doses it is also the least harmful but on the other hand UV light is already harmful to our skin. Now think of a light with 10000 times that energy.
They didn't burn the bodies because it's much more dangerous to have radioactivity in the air ( because if you get alpha radiators in your lungs they can do a lot more damage and those are normally already repelled by the skin, beta radiators can go through skin but not as deep).
If you really would like to know more about this you can ask me but this is the basic idea.
In reality the hospital enforced the no touching rule but I'm assuming it was changed for dramatic effect.
1 yr later and I can see this exact situation happening to us now smh
(As far as every government official ignoring the experts, protecting their own ass & not the people)
THey couldn't burn the bodies; the radiation would have dispersed.
I don't think the dirtying of the minister of coal was entirely petty. Sure there was probably some of that, but to me it looks like a mix of that with a some respect. He could have just gone away and came back with more soldiers... but instead he told them everything he himself knew. Which isn't much... but it is something, especially in the communist USSR.
Covering him in coal-dust was probably in part to annoy him, but with what the final miner said, it also makes him a little bit part of their group.
At least I like to think of it this way... if it ever happened in real life at any rate.
New sub! Also, the reason they didn’t burn the bodies is bc they’re radioactive. It’s just like the core. The smoke and ashes would be radioactive. It’ll get in the air.
You wrong the guy whom order the test died in 1995 of a heart attack he had another incident in a submarine. Before he died he give a interview and said the reactor wasn't supposed to be in use , that the nuclear institute was to blame all they care was about money
Im kinda liking this "mmini-series" format. Especially after what GOT went through. There's so much more control over the content quality and ending compared to 10-year long shows which are too unpredictable.
