Just today I saw a comment on FB saying the TV series was a 'great account' of what happened at Chernobyl. My first thought was to lambast them and direct them to this channel! Keep up the good work!
Your content is tip top, well worth the wait. My favorite channel by a Texas mile. Had a few hours to kill and saw this was posted, and realized it was the first time I was actually excited for new media in a long while (YT, movie, game, or otherwise). Keep it up, you have built a HIGH quality channel friend.
49:32 "K-19, now renamed BS-19". Finally they found a name for her. The Soviet navy never needed an enemy. They had their hands full fighting their own engineering.
This 1 month of no content felt like decades. But was the time waiting for it worth it? Yes. 55 minutes of pure disaster (the content of the video) was mastered to a masterpiece of a video. Keep up this great work!
Amazing work as usual! Even my college age kids watch your videos and have become interested in them(they get bored wen i talk history) One question... could you do a video or 2 on the 3 mile island event? I know its not as extensive but its not discussed much. Thank you again for the great content you take your time to publish.
Say what you will about the USSR. Vis-a-vis their navy, there were countless heroic sailors who sacrificed everything to preserve the lives of their comrades. Heroes, every last one. Respect 👊🏽✊🏽
If there ever was one ship telling her crew to stay away, it probably was K19. Superb content, always loved this story that I got to know after reading an article on cinema special effects and how they replicated the Cherenkov effect glow for the movie.
I’m pretty sure one of those beetles ended up being worshipped by the underground people of Seatopia. Before being sent to destroy Tokyo to protest underground nuclear testing. The Beetle would eventually be stopped by Godzilla and Ultraman’s flamingly gay cousin, Jet jaGuar.
Amazing documentary thank you ! By the way, if you're still interested by submarines stories, I found the accident of the K-278 Komsomolets fascinating. That kind of sub could go really deep. During its final moment, the conning tower was ejected in a attempt to save the last crew onboard, but partially succeed.
Dear TCG, Few Americans ( though this is slowly changing ) understand how much of a debt of gratitude we, and the world, owe to Soviet Naval Officer "Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov" Born 30 January 1926 - Died 19 August 1998. At one of the most delicate and dangerous moments of the Cuban Missile Crisis was in Submarine B-59 and was the single vote of three offices that prevented an attack upon the American Naval Blockade of Cuba, such an attack ( under the American Naval rules of engagement ) would have almost certainly been met with a counter strike. and pushed control of the crisis out of the hands of Khrushchev and Kennedy. Perhaps one of only three or four humans in history who saved hundreds of millions of lives and prevented a total Thermonuclear war.
One more thing: I never knew that there was a criticality part with blue fire in 1961. I thought that all the people died from exposure to radioactive water.
At 32:25 officer Arhipov is named as a man, who saved the World from nuclear Armageddon. But, actually, it was just a luck, that prevented a nuclear war. When Soviet submarine resurfaced at around 5:00 pm local time on October 27, 1962, Saturday, being in a close proximity to US destroyer and with very little chances to escape from pursuing US naval force, it already had nuclear torpedo charged into front launcher, port side. Other 3 launchers, 2 on the back and one in the front, starboard side, were charged by common torpedos. There were 22 torpedos total on-board , only one of them was nuclear. Submarine was detected by US forces around 2:00 pm, was chased and bombed by signal bombs as an order to stop movement and resurface to be inspected in accordance with Quarantine around Cuba, imposed by US President John Kennedy on October 22, 1962.. On that time submarine was charged by 2 common torpedos on the back launchers and for 3 hours submarine tried to escape US forces. Arhipov blocked attempt to fire 2 back common torpedos during this chase. When, finally, one engine broke and leak of carbon monoxide was detected, submarine was forced to resurface. Before resurfacing, nuclear torpedo was charged to front launcher #1, warhead was activated. When submarine resurfaced, Arhipov, Commander of submarine and signal man with projector went to the deck to start negotiations with US destroyer. There was no intention to surrender Soviet submarine to US forces or admit inspection of it by US forces. When 3 men were on the deck, US airplane approached and fired live rounds in a close proximity to the submarine. All 3 men on the deck rushed down, being convinced that nuclear war already started , next step would be firing a nuclear torpedo to US destroyer ( torpedo had a timer and even in case of miss US destroyer would be eliminated by a nuclear explosion). Commander rushed first, signal man second and Arhipov last. Suddenly, signal man was stuck on the stairs with projector and this situation delayed Arhipov on the deck. He put eye on destroyer and found that it started to send light signals to submarine with order to identify itself. Arhipov immediately informed Commander and signal man, projector was pulled back to the deck and light signal was sent: "We are a Soviet submarine, provide us a free passage". At noon, submarine submerged and flew away. US ships didn't chase it. Submarine, altogether with other 3 Soviet diesel submarines of the Group, returned back to the base in the Kola Peninsula, without executing the military task that was given to them. Previously, this military task was revealed to them in the envelopes of " Dooms Day " that they opened upon reaching designated area in the Atlantic Ocean after leaving base on October 01, 1962 in utmost secrecy. Military task was to all 4 submarines to arrive in Cuba by November 01, 1962. Cruise speed during march shall be. 9 knots. One submarine was supposed to go to Havana port to defend Cuban capital from naval invasion. Second submarine supposed to blockade US base in Guantanamo Bay from sea supplies. Third submarine supposed to patrol northern shores of Cuba, the last, fourth submarine, to patrol southern coast. All submarines were authorized to use nuclear torpedos against US forces in case of invasion of Cuba, nuclear codes to activate warheads were provided, but it was indicated that permission to perform nuclear attack shall be granted to crews only by direct order from Moscow.
I served on a Sub Tender for 10 yrs, and I know a lot about subs. It was common knowledge that service on a Soviet Sub was a 50/50 chance of dying, and deaths and accidents were common and usually went un reported by the USSR, service on one was in the worst conditions imaginable.
Amazing, I did not know at all about what actually happened inside the reactor's compartment when they did connect the water pipe. It is soooo russian x)
agree but the brave sailors who went into domesday reactor to repair and save their fellow man was heroic in the greatest schemes off things and avoid a possible disaster as well with West possibly thinking this was an attack on them
Is there a chance you would be able to ake future content on the Andriivka Bay fuel storage facility and the leaks that apparently occured there over the years?
You just opened a pandora box :) Soviet Navy had numerous nuclear accidents, including one proper explosion in Chazhma bay. I also highly recommend books by Nikolay Mormul, who was a CO on 941 project submarines and was well-connected to know a lot of stuff.
"Their sacrifice was for nothing" well it's the same Anatoly Alexandrov who said an RBMK was inherently safe and couldn't even meltdown...so I would take his comment with a big heap of salt.
Just saying, sailors are superstitious for a reason. The sub got a taste for blood during construction AND they tempted fate by not having a woman christen it.
Babe wake up chernobyl guy remembered he had a youtube chanel.
😂🤣👌❤
😂😂😂😂😂
You are the hidden gem of RUclips.
Thank you so much!
Hot hidden, sorry
Ghey @@AesopsFablesthe2nd
This is the most detailed K-19 documentary I have seen. It is very well done.
Great job! Keep it up!

Enjoyed the extra details compared to other docus here on YT. Excellent work as always 🤓.

Man I thought you’ve run out of ideas, thanks for coming back
I heard he started an of
saw the community post earlier, very exited for this one
I hope you enjoy the video :)
@@thatchernobylguy2915 i very much did
Way better than expected. I knew about the K-19, but this documentary goes well beyond what I would have ever expected. Brilliant work!

The history of this sub is just dreadful. After the third disaster, you would think enough is enough. Wow
Just finished the video. Excellent upload as always, Mr. Chernobyl Guy 🤌
Thank you for covering my favorite sub
Thank you again
Enjoyed this really good job
Great document, it deserves much more attention. Thanks for all the hard work that went into it!
I love how Moonlight Sonata is the background music for this, just as it was for the primary loop rupture in the movie 😂.
Thanks for this, after the video imma go watch "K19 The Widowmaker" :D
Great Movie
very interesting as always keep up the good quality
Thank you! I will try my best!
Such an amazing vid, love it as its extremely detailed
Thanks for this vid dude, I'm currently in bed sick af (I think ist flu) and at least a have some content to enjoy
Excellent work as always from you! Thank you!
This is quality documentation, Just Like from Oceanliner Designs, Maybe Mike Brady is your friend, too 😁
So much work and information in your videos, i hope you one day hit 1 million followers.
Love the video. A few things wrong but that's the price we pay. Keep giving us videos!
Amazing work as usual! Even my college age kids watch your videos and have become interested in them(they get bored wen i talk history)

I will look into it :)
@@thatchernobylguy2915 that would be awesome! Thank you again for your great and accurate content
@@thatchernobylguy2915nice playing moonlight sonita in the background. Same in the movie
Wow! Fully understanding that you were not as active for the last few weeks. Emence work.
@@elvinhaak Thank you do much!

Incredible documentary! It always seems to be at some momentous occasion

Excellent video
Remember the motto of the Soviet navy, "And then it got WORSE."
I was not expecting Vasily Arkhipov to show up at another significant historical event.
In fairness, dying for nothing is a common occupational hazard in any country and military branch. It's sort of what the job is all about in the end.
Amazing documentary thank you ! By the way, if you're still interested by submarines stories, I found the accident of the K-278 Komsomolets fascinating. That kind of sub could go really deep. During its final moment, the conning tower was ejected in a attempt to save the last crew onboard, but partially succeed.
Rule of thumb with any story involving the Soviet navy is: It always gets worse.
Glad to see you’re back. I was worried the FSB had gotten a hold of you comrade. 🪆

Torpedo room officer has no problem with reactor management - reactor has torpedo room components now.
Poor Harrison Ford, had to do Dial of Destiny to cover his medical after this.

15:24 im shocked their is video of that thing not smoking like its on fire.........
Everything is iconic.
Amazing, I did not know at all about what actually happened inside the reactor's compartment when they did connect the water pipe.
It is soooo russian x)
Kirsk video when?
Hmmmmmmm, good question.
What a cursed sub
agree but the brave sailors who went into domesday reactor to repair and save their fellow man was heroic in the greatest schemes off things and avoid a possible disaster as well with West possibly thinking this was an attack on them
Never attribute supernatural causes to just bad design and generalized incompetence
Night on Bald Mountain? Nice.
Is there a chance you would be able to ake future content on the Andriivka Bay fuel storage facility and the leaks that apparently occured there over the years?
I will look into it :)
14:25 Why didn't they remove the broken pump from the boat before dragging the about to break pump on board?
25:00 "blue"... oh no.
Yeah. Blue is never a good sign.
You just opened a pandora box :) Soviet Navy had numerous nuclear accidents, including one proper explosion in Chazhma bay.
I also highly recommend books by Nikolay Mormul, who was a CO on 941 project submarines and was well-connected to know a lot of stuff.
Hiding their reactor compartment in the sea, just like a child hides the bad things under their bed, in the closet or in their dresser 🤣
That things crew were as cowboy as cowboy gets
Well at least they got the name right by the end.
The ship that rescued them was called "Алтайлес" and that is spelled "Altay-lez"
It's a stand in prop of the same class ship :)
Your editing is off -the beginning segment describes the George Washington, then segues directly to construction of the K19 with no segue. ???
"Their sacrifice was for nothing" well it's the same Anatoly Alexandrov who said an RBMK was inherently safe and couldn't even meltdown...so I would take his comment with a big heap of salt.
K19, I only know about it from I the Harrison Ford movie, I'm so curios to learn about it.
Hey!
29:29 wow I’d like to plug those numbers into a Cray 7 20secs later and see just how full of it Anatoly was 😅 😂
0:56 HEAD PHONE WARNING!!!!!!
and I've got a sinus headache......... WHO was the idiot to put bars and TONE in?????????????
I WANT NAMES!!!!!!!!!!
The movie was bad. They miscast Harrison Ford.
Just saying, sailors are superstitious for a reason. The sub got a taste for blood during construction AND they tempted fate by not having a woman christen it.
First
