    Pripyat is now deserted but is becoming pretty popular among nature and urban explorers as well as other tourists. Have you been there or are you planning to go? What's it like?

      It's real eerie, I can tell you that much. I went there with two friends, and the emptiness of the place creeped us all out. It's not often that you walk in properly empty streets.

    Thank you for clearing up the myths about the divers. As of 2019, two of the three were still alive, and they are indeed absolute heroes. Luckily, there were several liquidators there to decontaminate the divers immediately upon their egress from the flooded basement. The water wasn’t drained right after they opened the drainage gate however. Several hoses had to be dripped down through the gate to pump the water out, which from what I have read took several days. The first hoses inserted even broke shortly after and had to be quickly replaced.
    There are a lot of great books out there. One of my favorites is called “Ablaze,” written by Piers Paul Read. He also wrote an excellent book on the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, the famous crash that stranded a rugby team in the Andes for 72 days.

    It’s worth noting that a nuclear power station will never, ever, ever explode like a nuclear bomb. It cannot happen. The reason for this is because the nuclear fuel is nowhere near enriched enough. Which is exactly what you want. You don’t want all your fuel releasing its energy in a split second. You want it to release its energy over as long of a period as possible, and for it to only release as much energy as is required to boil water and turn it into steam, that’s all. The quoted potential explosion would have been a steam explosion, nothing more. Power reactors do not go off like nukes, and that’ll never happen. This seems to be a common misconception of nuclear power.

    This is a very sad story man. 3 brave suicide squad members had the guts to do this dangerous task of tackling this radiation issue that caused casualties. I was surprised by this because yes I heard about the radiation incident on the internet that was talking about one of the 80's nuclear disaster but I never knew these 3 men from the suicide squad put their lives on the frickin line!!!!! It was like going to war and putting your life at risk for potential dangers coming their way, real talk!!!!!😞😞😞😠😠😠 But great video Infographics show I actually learned something today.

      Why it is sad? All of them survived and they prevented a terrible disaster

      @@Titano_Tarocco I know but think about it, it was like going to war to protect your country. Well in this case protecting people as many as possible but some people died due to the exposure of radiation. Also some people were disabled at least what the Infographics show was talking about. Yes it was an honor for those men to do what they did but I personally don't think I would risk my life for something like that. It takes unique people to do this sort of thing though.

      DreamyWolf the infographics show actually isn’t right about most things, in their Air Force pilot video an actual pilot debunked the video, and a lot of what they said was wrong, this included. Those men died of radiation poisoning as there is no possible way they could have survived

      @@Scroggit perhaps reading a but on the subject would help you out. Pripyat was built in the 70s and was built for the workers families. Chernobyl was founded in the 1100s and has been constantly populated since then. That is why you see different population figures. Chernobyl = 14,000 and Pripyat = 50,000. As someone who has visited Chernobyl and Pripyat, I'm pretty sure they're 2 separate places.
