Thank you very much for sharing! I'm surprised how many concrete buildings are collapsing. I remember that day in April 1986 very clearly as a child. Greetings from Slovakia
Wow, I really appreciate this video. I've always wanted to have somewhat of a spoken english virtual tour of Pripyat. This video is beyond incredible. Well done :)
I want to go there so bad. I would choose fall or late winter with trees being leafless. It would add the "creepiness" of this lonely town. But it sooo far away from my hometown here in Czech Republic. I guess it would take several days to get there and also get back to home. But it would be worth the athmosphere. I just like "lonely" and abandoned places like this. :)
+Mishkin You're only around one thousand km away from Pripyat. Which is about 2 days drive or a 1 hr 55 min flight to Kiev. That's' nothing compared to me.
Thankyou, I remember when that happened, I was 14, I remember thinking that the men who tried to cool it down after the explosion deserved posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union. It looks like it was a lovely place to live, such a shame.
It must have been a poignant and melancholic experience to walk around a silent city that used to be so full of life. I'm a huge fan of Russian design so I loved seeing the mosaic at the entrance to the Music School. Thank you for a wonderful tour, bionerd23.
I went here last week. Most amazing thing ever. My 2hrs worth of footage somehow got down to 40 minutes for the final video. U have to go here before you die!
Thankyou so much for uploading these videos , I've so enjoyed watching you tour round and inform us on towns and the history !! Yours., a very grateful viewer
chaosdemonwolf1 But its the beauty of it, no one can control it anything can happened, even when the cards look set it can be changed in a instant. It's beautiful.
the hand-colored map of Pripyat at the beginning was so freaking adorable and ironically juxtapose to the whole ghost town and deadly radiation that I had to loled
That music school was so epic, because in Stalker Call of Pripyat they made an exact replica of the building. The auditorium even has the damn piano in it.
Thank you for taking the time and risk to give us a video tour of Pripyat. I've heard the term "ghost town" a million times, but have never seen a real one....until now. I can't believe the complete and utter quiet in the town. There are no sounds other than an occasional bird. What a horrible shame. Russia can not deny the damage that was done here!
i use to live in Pripyat i came back to pripyat wen i was 9 and now i live ther in an uncontaminated building prypat was once so beutifull said my mom but now its like a ghost town but i live ther :(
Very interesting video. I have seen many videos of Pripyat but with no explanation of what I was looking at, so this gave me a whole new dimension this place. Cheers.
Thank for a fresh look at Pripyat. My morbid curiosity keeps me interested in its fate. Quite a long journey from NC USA for a pretty short visit to this enigma. Not likely I would visit there as I would rather see St. Basils for example if I make it to former CCCP.
I'm very fascinated by this place - LOVED this video and think you really did a great job. You kept a directional perspective that was very helpful, went to the places I really wanted to see and showed me the things I wanted to have a more in-depth look at that other videos lacked. Your narration was also excellent and I LOVE your accent 😉. Sub'd to your channel and am about to go watch your other videos.
If it wasn't for all the radiation, this would actually be a nice place to be alone and relax your mind. Unlucky for me, this place isn't exactly next door, so I can't visit. Would really like to see this place in-person.
It is really sad to me thinking about all the people forced to leave their homes, personal belongins, animals, etc toward an uncertain future. Will visit Pripyat one day. Thanks for the video.
Videoed in 2015, now 35 years since Pripyat was abandoned. Derelict buildings will become more dangerous to enter, full of decay, old furniture left to rust and rot
Great tour, very informative, I learned about Pripyat when i was a kid at school, I've always had a fascination with old abandoned places, Pripyat would be my first place to ever visit, I hope to go there one day, Its a long way from Scotland But one day i wish to visit, it would have been a incredible utopia like city by now if this unfortunate disaster did not occur, Very sad for those who lost there lives in the fight to contain the radiation.
bionerd23 the things that you do are just crazy, like one of your previous videos with the hospital basment. Keep up the good work. #Chernobyl #Radioactive love your videos
I LOVE your videos! The things you've seen are so cool. I've always wished to go there. At least thanks to you, I get to see what's left. Thank you. :)
what do you mean when you say the stalkers painted the emblem recently? who are the stalkers? from what i know of the term stalker is either someone that follows you, or a videogame reference of people that go into "the zone" and search for stuff to bring back home and sell for lots of money. and seeing as you're not being followed and this clearly isn't a video game i don't really understand.
William Rost "stalkers" are people who illegally trespass into the "zone" without having permission. sometimes they just randomly stay there. sometimes they litter, which i despise. sometimes they do some cool stuff - like repainting the logo.
+Snafu The Sniper it's a term used in a soviet book, "roadside picnic" (Strugatzki). the book was written way before the Chernobyl accident. the game is based on that book and the real life Chernobyl exclusion zone. the russian term "сталкер" describes "a bold and knowledgeable person who goes to dangerous places, often leading others".
At just past 12:20 on the right there is a building with a beautiful, colorful mosaic up high. It looks to be in good condition but the view was far away. Any other information about that? Love your videos! I'm strangly addicted to them.
Those partially collapsed buildings make me think of Fallout... just think of the collapsed sections as rear entrances to the higher floors! Those super mutants will never know what hit em.
I always wondered how Pripyat would look like if somebody made a 3D model with no trees and only the buildings to-do a type of analysis on how long until a certain structure is in danger of imminent collapse.
radiation exposure is measured in seiverts over a period of time, i think their counters measure in usv/h (microseiverts per hour) but i might be wrong on that one, maximum risk free dosage in the UK is considered to be 20 miliseiverts per year, risk climbs steadily after that, but with minimal protective gear, good training to keep an eye out for contaminants and a healthy caution are enough to keep you safe in areas like they were in in this video. it depends on the situation really to how much you should be worried about.
HOLY SHIT THAT FERRIS WHEEL AREA WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER BECAUSE IN COD 4 VETERAN IT TOOK MY 2 ENTIRE MONTHS TO FINISH THAT DAMN PART OF THE MISSION HOLY SHIT
@@polygondwanaland8390 yeah but buildings everywhere were not that tall, the reason empire state was the tallest at the time. For a person who has bever seen such buildings anywhere in world notion of a tall bauilding is different, also there was no internet and media was not that easy to acess. You did not have youtube or could not just watch a video and know about such things.
I know im veiwing this late like 3yrs late but i still feel its sad to think that that town will never see life as it knew it but i like your vids i know they still limit the time you are allowed in the excl zone but i hope you can still do vids
I hope they dont clean up that place because to be honest its really cool and they even destroyed the old chimney that was on the roof of the power plant that was the icon of chernobyl thats how i knew it was chernobyl,now when i look at the plant i see a orante and white chimney not the old one
I once fought for my life on the base of that ferris wheel while waiting on a chopper extraction.
:)))
while saving my fallen comrade

So did I it was a bitch on veteran

Yes, this is true. But watch at S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Thankyou, I remember when that happened, I was 14, I remember thinking that the men who tried to cool it down after the explosion deserved posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union. It looks like it was a lovely place to live, such a shame.
There were people who dived down and opened hatches, they died shorly after
You are brave... I won't even stand in front of a microwave oven for more than a minute. ; )
Use a tin hat
Fat Bastard Pipes haha. however microwaves do not produce ionising radiaton. they produce electromagnetic radiation from radio waves,
smallenginedude71 It was sarcasm. ; )
Fat Bastard Pipes oh okay. it mislead me as there are so many silly people on youtube!

I was thinking it was a rather professional documentary until 04:00. lol
Right?! "What the fuck?!" 😲😩😒
14:48, for those who played cod4 must know that building
wheres that Building in cod4 and what with it? i cant remember :P

Tom Redding not kill, but blew off him arm w/ Barret 50. Cal
Ivan L yea, wouldnt he die then? stupid games lol
Pero Cigla yeah he should dead due to blood loss, can't believe a old man can survive that pain:p
Very nice video. Well-narrated and described. I love the context and the pacing.
Would love to see comparisons between this video and images/videos pre-1982.

When you played that piano, I got chills. Too spooky!
Looking at this stuff, fills me with awe and sadness.
It fills me with determination.

That looks like a cool city
+Nathan Jennings Except radiation,which is pretty strict at some places..
shocked the hell out of me when i saw the swimming pool on wiki....cod 4 pripyat looks JUST like this...i miss the old cod days :'(

After watching the movie chernobyl diaries, its kind of more creepy but i still wanna go there so bad
Chernobyl Diaries had me looking for things during these videos all the time.
Amazing videos to watch though, I'd love to visit the place.
Fraser Sutton I love that movie
thanks for posting this. The mosaic outside the music school is beautiful
It must suck to be the lone guard at night in that Pripyat checkpoint. SCARY as hell if you ask me.

I love your videos.
Be careful there!
Interesting tour of Pripyat. Deserted for 29-30 years, nature has taken over the open areas. William. St Leonards on sea
You produce amazing content.
30 years ago today!
some tiles fell off and now you can see the brick wall.
THIS WILL SURELY COLLAPS ANY MINUTE NOW!!!!!
4:56 that death silence... like in STALKER games..
Videoed in 2015, now 35 years since Pripyat was abandoned. Derelict buildings will become more dangerous to enter, full of decay, old furniture left to rust and rot
VERY good video! Enjoyed it very much....
Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy them keep it up!

Why didn't you Rendezvous with Kovalsky in the Laundromat? And why didn't you bring a Svarog detector?
Thank you for this. Gives a greater insight into the legacy of the accident.
I spent so much time fighting beneath that ferris wheel.

I always wondered how Pripyat would look like if somebody made a 3D model with no trees and only the buildings to-do a type of analysis on how long until a certain structure is in danger of imminent collapse.
While you filmed the ferris wheel I just imagined it suddenly spinning out of control like something from a horror film
watch out for cheeki breeki
30 YEARS!!!!R.I.P. PRIPYAT!!!😢
when are you going to the reactor again?
its so sad i want to live for 20,000 years more to see the finish of the ferris wheel
What you sound like me hahaha. Nice video. I'd like to visit it myself.
I guess the driver was getting woozy from radiation exposure.
