The signature of radioactive iodine from the explosion is the taste of metal. Amazing that the control room was not air-locked as a 'safe place'. Those poor firemen they willingly went to do their duty as all firemen do but they didn't know the full nature of what had gone wrong. Those pilots who flew choppers to dump stuff into building 4, to extinguish the burning core and attempt to stifle the escape of radioactive dust. Them, the Liquidators & the miners all should be regarded as Heroes, as in the 'Hero' medal. Even though it was not in a military action. If that had burnt until all the graphite was gone it would have laid waste to a lot of Europe for agriculture and safe living space.
@@NJPurling there were civilians, young men working on the waste for 3 days there are even pictures of them being shirtless and working on toxic waste cause they were told it was safe. They started evacuation on the third day and thus the damage was done. There were millions who got some form of radioactive poisoning, there are still babies being born as the Chernobyl babies who have deformation and other things. It's truly horrible how the government tried to cover it up and lie to everyone. Thank god the swedish government saw the rising radiation levels and demanded an explanation. I live in Estonia and we have been told about this as one of the biggest catastrophies near us. My college classmates and i were do intrigued by this we wanted to go visit it(u can some places) but our teachers didn't want to take the risk 😅
I LOVE how they showed Boris's breakdown over the phone. Not only was that a reaction from all the work he had been doing and he was giving his life up doing so, but it showed how upset he was knowing all the other people that were too. The character building in this series was phenomenal

“No one in the room that night knew that the shutdown button could act as a detonator.” That’s a microcosm of the series. Not knowing. Not being informed. Ignorance literally kills.
Yes, the RBMK reactor design had unknown fatal flaws, but the concept of adding water to a high heat/energy source causing a steam explosion is a well-known phenomenon. Dyatlov was an arrogant fool.
@@CaptainSeato A nuclear reactor absolutely cannot run without water. Its essential in steam production which runs the turbines which in turn run the generators. It also cools the reactor core. without it it the core would melt. What blew up the reactor was (among other things) the graphite tipped control rods, which boosted the reactivity of the core several fold and the water that was in the cooling channels instantly flashed into steam, creating a powerful steam explosion.
I never said anything about reactors being able to run without water, but thanks for confirming what I said about steam explosions. Not sure what point you were trying to make.
@@CaptainSeato but he didn't add water, he moved the rods, which should have stop the reaction, but instead boosted reactivity, and he didn't know that can happen? it was kept from him. A lot of scientists was figuring out, why this happened for years, it's not something that easy. Its not about adding water to an energy source at all, its about why the steam explosion happened. Dyatlov wasn't the one who created RBMK and whole system.
One of the saddest scenes in my opinion is 1:09. He was forced to go up there and look at the reactor core, escorted by a soldier. He refused, but was ultimately scared for not only his life, but his families life into going up there. You can see in his expression that he knows his life is over.
Yeah, but this scene is kinda made up... Sitnikov was asked to check the roof and he agreed... Because like he said, to his wife, before he died... He knew that place best and if he didn't do it the whole Ukraine (or even Europe) could cese to exist...
@@buzzardmusic5606 no i watched the show. English is my second language so i watched with subtitles that said it was 50 000. Maybe they were wrong. I don't know.
I am from Ukraine, Kyiv. And this series is very close to me. In my family, there are those who helped evacuate the city. My godfather was in the group that made the arch for the fourth reactor a few years ago. So I had to make this video. This is a terrible tragedy and we need to remember what happened and why it happened.
"You'll do it because it must be done. You'll do it because nobody else can. And if you don't, millions will die. And if you tell me that's not enough I won't believe you." One of the best lines in the show, and basically the motif of the series.

“The truth doesn’t care about our needs or wants. It doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lay in wait for all time. And this at last is the gift of Chernobyl.”
The thing is the reactor was poisoned by xenon. Which slowed the reaction. The correct procedure is a complete shut down followed by waiting for the xenon to decay. They instead removed enough rods to "stabilize" the core against the xenon poisoning. Meaning that the Xenon was the main absorber of the core. This configuration is stable as long as the xenon is there. But a normal operation power the Xenon is burned of by the reactor. The core nearly solely moderated by the xenon was burning the Xenon away (fast) thus the power started to rise to the level the reactor would usually have with the amount of rods removed. But more rods where removed then the reactor was designed for. The level at which the core would have self stabilized was higher than the design could withstand. Seeing this the decided to shutdown. Which is the right decision. But the control rods feature tips that accelerate the reaction. So inserting the rods first replaced water (absorber) with the rod tips (accelerator) the already too hot water turned into steam and bursted the channels causing pressure loss causing more water to boil which blew the lid of. Now the glowing hot graphite structure of the core was exposed to air causing it to self ignite and blow the roof of. The graphite stack continued to burn for hours transporting particles of the rods into the air.
@@redcrafterlppa303 Oh, I also agree with you, as for me, those who were on top at that time blamed others, and what they wrote in the original was what caused the reactor to explode, it's just a lie, they shifted responsibility to others. And so the most adequate explanation of what happened is xenon poisoning, as you said
@@ashleybishton742 They actually did not. The reactor core never melted through the Concrete plate above the Tunnel they dug. Also surprisingly "only" about 1/4 died from cancer or similiar stuff

Chernobyl isn’t just a show, it’s a place, it’s a town, it’s a nuclear power plant, it’s a disaster, it’s a mistake made by a few misguided workers, it’s people who die still to this day because a nuclear reactor exploded and caused cancer and death from radiation in April 1986 this story is sad.
@@josephastier7421 I am Russian, but I will tell you this. This film is the best of those that I saw, and I saw a lot. And who made this film - it seems to me that it does not matter. The main thing is how the story was told. I didn’t think that once I’ll say this thanks to the Americans.

The scum Legasov said that, he was the only one of the scientists who did not refuse the award, he was only worried about his personal situation and he was in conflict with other scientists, but there is not a word about this.
From what I know (and it may be a rather loose comparison) radiation affects cells in a similar fashion to what happens when a computer's hard disk is destroyed, while whatever is loaded into RAM remains. The DNA is annihilated or damaged beyond repair, and while the system may continue to operate for a short time, it soon requires instructions from the parts of its data store that have been destroyed. These errors and data losses compound exponentially, and the system collapses. If this happens to a few thousand cells, the body can repair and recover. If it happens to a few trillion, there is no coming back. It isn't so much a burn as it is a destruction of the data that allows the non-living parts of your cells to create something living.
My grandfather brother was in chernobyl,he cleared the roof and he is still alive thanks god. EDIT:OMG THX FOR THE LIKES btw more info.he told me that every month he need to go to the hospital to get some sort of therapy, ukraine goverment is paying therapy the tho

His actions not only out-right killed 31 people from ARS (including the people in the control room directly under him), but also destroyed a major piece of Soviet machinery, rendered the area uninhabitable for the next century, and destroyed the Soviet Union. And he lived long enough to see all of that, because of what he did at 1:23:45AM, April 26th, 1986.
@Damian Howard Not only incompetent, he sent numerous people to their deaths by asking them to go and check on the state of the reactor rather than doing it himself. He sent people to manually lower control rods, again sending them to their deaths, but didn't do it himself. Other people went around trying to help the injured or search for missing people, Dyatlov seemingly did nothing but try and make excuses for what had happened. Thank God people were able to interview others in the control room that night before they died because that scumbag was going to blame it all on Akimov and Toptunov.
This is easily one of the best shows ever made. Every actor does an outstanding job and there are so many amazing quotes. The fact that it manages to be so impactful despite only being 5 episodes is a testament to how good the show is.
@@tsarfox3462 Don't compare the shitty plot armour ridden with half of the series just being filler with this masterpiece. Quality over quantity and this show gave a better story from perspectives of multiple people in 5 episodes than Breaking Bad did in 5 seasons.
I was living in London when this happened, and been reading all I could find (which wasn’t much) over the years since. Voices of Chernobyl, a collection of brilliantly edited first-person accounts has been out for years. The show used it as source material. I recommend reading it; author is Svetlana Alexievich.
Yes, Windscale fire did not happen in the UK 1957 with pollution of the territory, or an accident on Heysham 1 2018- they don't see the beam in their own eye. Only they can shoot gay shit with naked miners about other countries.
I haven't felt anger so visceral as the time I did when I first saw Chernobyl. It's a story of a particular country at a particularly devastating time. But the world has and will continue to endure attacks like Chernobyl, maybe even more serious and my blood boils at the idea of governments and bureaucracies saving their faces at the cost of lives. Lives of people who have nothing to do anything, who are innocent and who will eventually be used as sacrificial lambs because MuH pRiDe.
this is why the US has never had a problem like this with their nuclear reactor why cause they at least have the intelligence to tell the truth to those running and working in there plants about how they work not lying to them about how they work so they do the wrong thing thinking it's the right thing

@@ragdaj the KGB did punish the professor in real life for exposing their lies. It did happen. Yes some of the details weren't quite right but many have said it was about 90% accurate to what happened.
I was 19 at the time of the Chernobyl disaster, living in the Netherlands on the German border. Me and my friends we were amateur astronomers & every year would spend many nights out in the countryside along the border observing stars under dark skies where we had a simple hut with water and electricity and our gear. We were just packing for another few nights out when we heard about the radioactivity from Chernobyl detected in Sweden and Germany. Governments recommended people to stay indoors when rain was expected and stay away from mushrooms. We quickly arranged a Geiger-counter and took it with us on our observation-trip. We had clear skies mostly and the rains only came briefly during the second and third nights. Three nights and days the ticking of our Geiger-counter told us what the natural background-level sounded like and made us think about all those less fortunate farther east …
I was 7 and I lived in Belarus. And we did not have any device like Geiger-counter. And! amazing thing! belorusian caws still give milk with radiation level higher than it should be. because our ground is still contaminated.
2:22 “the real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we will no longer recognize the truth.” One of the most meaningful lines in the whole series.
A terrible tragedy. Words do no justice, for The loss of so many people. I remember reading an artical, About an officer, who flew over The site, he and the pilot could (Feel it in there teeth) from a Thousand feet away. We must never Forget those involved in the clean up.❤
not talking about the tragedy that of course hits deep... but, this show made me think about the Official Story that people with power writes, it is the same in so many countries... and it's crazy that having so many evidence the official story always remains untouched, the same in all places... On the other hand, making a clear message about altering the truth by altering some historical facts it's almost revealing... we just keep repeating ourselves
The whole series was extremely haunting, and the coverups and propaganda that the government and plant workers put in place were terrifying. This edit was so good and really captured the essense of the show.
@@whitesquirrel4131 The world is collectively doing exactly the same thing when it comes to climate change right now. Disregarding the truth and walking right into disaster.
One of the most chilling scenes was with all the managers and committee members in the bomb-hardened basement at Chernobyl where the grizzled old career party man tapped his cane and calmly told everyone to kill the phone lines, contain the information and tell the people to focus on their work. They all clapped as firemen above were getting their deadly-dose of radiation because all those in power were still in denial that the core exploded. So much politicking for something that to this day has never been fully quantified in terms of long-term impact.
And naked miners are not LGBT propaganda by the British? Or is the threat to ordinary workers not anti-Soviet propaganda? And Legasov, who is so exalted by the British, he is the only one of all scientists who accepted the award for the liquidation, because he was scum. This is a dirty series and nonsense. There, in the series, an accident has just happened and the buildings are already stripped, in poor condition, the paint is peeling off as if 30 years have passed and they are removing the film against the background of this garbage - is this not propaganda?
This is the real horror. No zombies. No monsters. No ghosts. Just truth. And greed. And now, the world just forget all they. Who sacrificed theirs lives to save us. They will live forever. On our hearts.

One thing i liked about your video was it showed the real time of the power spike, the AZ-5 activation, and the upper bio shield explosion. The show didnt show it in real time because they had to show the steam pipes rupturing, the channel caps jumping, etc. This gives you an accurate idea of 5 seconds between SCRAM and disaster, 1:23:40-1:23:45
Это лучшее что я когда либо видела 😭 я до сих пор в слезах всё это смотрю, хочу снова посмотреть это прекрасный и очень печальный сериал я прекрасно знаю что не смогу смотреть этот сериал без слёз и рыдания, я надеюсь что хотя бы смогу его полностью посмотреть так как этот сериал очень тяжёлый как раз таки из за того что был основан на реальных событиях. Один словом шедевр!!! Спасибо создателям этого сериала я без мерно вам благодарно что увидела прекраснейший сериал Чернобыль, спасибо за ваши старание из-за то что смогли на 100 % всё воссоздать как было это в былое время , вообщем спасибо вам за всё особенно за эти не повторимые эмоции. Хотелось бы ещё больше написать прекрасное впечатление от этого сериала но чувствую что ещё чуть-чуть и я разрыдаюсь так что надеюсь я смогла выразить своё восхищение создателю и всем тем кто работал над этим прекрасным сериалом. Я польщена вашими трудами и работой вы все 100 % идеально лучше уже быть не может!!! Вы потрясающие !!!
When the accident happened I was 9 years old and I was living very far of Ukrania, in Argentina, but I had the intuition, even when I don't knew anything about the power of nuclear energy, that the things never would be the same for anyone in the world, and that was true, but a lot of people lived nearest the tragedy. Is good to know the story through their eyes.
On the other hand, you don’t know that the Fukushima accident has not yet been localized, there is still radioactive water leaking into the oceans, because the reactor core melted the concrete base of the building, the Japanese are also going to pour tons of radioactive water into the ocean. Of course, it is better to watch colorful English series about naked miners.
My dad was twenty when it happened. He told me he remembered waking up a few days later when the news got around and hearing about it. We watched the show together and he was shocked as he didn’t know how close everything was to blowing up. No one knew. Im from germany and he nor i would exist if it blew up like they said (around ep. 2..)its harsh and cruel to think how much Chernobyl impacted europe and that, until now, a lot of people didn’t know how close of a call it was to being even worse. I am indebted with my life to all those firefighters, workers and helpers who kept it from being much, much worse. I hope their families are ok and that they rest easily
I'm from Romania and kids here (and adults) started to get cancer and leukemia in great numbers after this. But of course, the population was not told of the incident until WEEKS later!!! Truly a terrifying thing... All of Europe and most likely all of Earth could have been wiped out...
AMAZING, MOVING, BRUTAL.... Excellent job, very emotional. A previous comment said “33 years later, still holds true”. 34 years later the parallels are very similar.
Beautiful video margarita... Every time I watch chernobyl.... brings tears.... It's very heartbreaking.... My deepest sympathies...and salute to every person who sacrificed their lives in this tragedy...🙏
this is a very heavy hard lesson for humanity. Or actually multiple lessons could be taken out of this horrific tragedy. As we know there a multiple Power plants around the global even a few that are built like this one. I really hope nothing like this will ever happen again anywhere. The poor people that had to die like this horrific way because of mistakes that have been made.
@@Freemarkets1236 Breaking Bad was a fictional story with 5 seasons Chernobyl is a miniseries of 5 episodes based on a real incident so it is unfair comparison. Both are brilliant.
Question in fact I had 2 dead relatives lived in Minsk, and 4 alive at Chisinau. Both from Minsk died later from cancer due to the disaster. People need to know about this, it's not disrespectful but enlightening. It's a real event and needs to be told in such way, my opinion.

The funny thing was that my dad was watching this and I came down somewhere halfway through the first episode, at a point where there was no dialogue whatsoever. Thus when I learned it was about Chernobyl I kept watching. But when I found out all characters spoke English, I lost interest and went on with preparing lunch for work the day after. But after I'd finished doing so, I returned to watch the rest of the episode and did so for the remaining four...
People who lived in the Soviet Union were always trained on what to do if the got nuked by us in the west, but little did they know they would have to use that training not from us, but by their own nuclear accdent.
Chernobyl was the greatest show ever to exist it told the raw stories of these Men and women who sacrificed everything and some of whom didn't know that they were being put in the line of danger because of lies. I think a lot of people thought it was going to cheapen the sacrifices but tbh I think it made them more meaningful
You are dealing with something that have never occured in our planet.....so watch carefully and watch again....most informative series that I have ever seen....
as always, a maestro in compilation. truths are always malleable. facts are always out there. details are sometimes lost in time. memories survives as long as a person remembers. time remembers Chernobyl for the impact it has created.
Thank you for posting this well-done tribute! As terrifying & sad as this story is, it ultimately gave me hope as well because of the reactions of the people involved. They showed the _best_ that humankind *can* be, because they gave their own health & lives to save others.

well this is why Honesty is the best policy as it goes to show how the simplest of lies can be disastrous in some cases
True
"The truth"... Layers of Iies promoted both by Soviets and the West. It was the biggest CIA operation in history.
And it's the Americans themselves who are telling us
They were the ones who started that chaos. And Gorbachev only them. He opened his legs
That’s not the real danger,
“The real danger is that if we hear enough lies…that we no longer recognize the truth at all.”
One of the saddest scenes in my opinion is 1:09. He was forced to go up there and look at the reactor core, escorted by a soldier. He refused, but was ultimately scared for not only his life, but his families life into going up there. You can see in his expression that he knows his life is over.
Yeah, but this scene is kinda made up... Sitnikov was asked to check the roof and he agreed... Because like he said, to his wife, before he died... He knew that place best and if he didn't do it the whole Ukraine (or even Europe) could cese to exist...
It was a made up event.
“Its not 3 roentgen its 15 thousand”
Thats when everyone understood the damage of the explosion
It was 50 000 not 15 000
Maybe its not 15 thousand roentgen but approximately 57,500 thousand roentgen to 60 thousand

@@buzzardmusic5606 no i watched the show. English is my second language so i watched with subtitles that said it was 50 000. Maybe they were wrong. I don't know.

I am from Ukraine, Kyiv. And this series is very close to me. In my family, there are those who helped evacuate the city. My godfather was in the group that made the arch for the fourth reactor a few years ago. So I had to make this video.
This is a terrible tragedy and we need to remember what happened and why it happened.

We hope Ukraine continues to recover..a lot of brave people have up their health for the good of countless others..

That’s the thing, we’ll never know the full story behind it. All we have to do is trust the “lies” are true.
"You'll do it because it must be done. You'll do it because nobody else can. And if you don't, millions will die. And if you tell me that's not enough I won't believe you." One of the best lines in the show, and basically the motif of the series.

“raise the power”
“the power is rising”
“what did you DO??!”
The thing is the reactor was poisoned by xenon. Which slowed the reaction.
The correct procedure is a complete shut down followed by waiting for the xenon to decay.
They instead removed enough rods to "stabilize" the core against the xenon poisoning. Meaning that the Xenon was the main absorber of the core. This configuration is stable as long as the xenon is there. But a normal operation power the Xenon is burned of by the reactor.
The core nearly solely moderated by the xenon was burning the Xenon away (fast) thus the power started to rise to the level the reactor would usually have with the amount of rods removed.
But more rods where removed then the reactor was designed for. The level at which the core would have self stabilized was higher than the design could withstand. Seeing this the decided to shutdown. Which is the right decision.
But the control rods feature tips that accelerate the reaction. So inserting the rods first replaced water (absorber) with the rod tips (accelerator) the already too hot water turned into steam and bursted the channels causing pressure loss causing more water to boil which blew the lid of.
Now the glowing hot graphite structure of the core was exposed to air causing it to self ignite and blow the roof of.
The graphite stack continued to burn for hours transporting particles of the rods into the air.
@@redcrafterlppa303 Oh, I also agree with you, as for me, those who were on top at that time blamed others, and what they wrote in the original was what caused the reactor to explode, it's just a lie, they shifted responsibility to others. And so the most adequate explanation of what happened is xenon poisoning, as you said
Rest in peace to the miners who dug up a tunnel 12 meters below the radioactive core with no protective suit or whatsoever.

Russia can't stand that the United States told their story for them.
Chernobyl isn’t just a show, it’s a place, it’s a town, it’s a nuclear power plant, it’s a disaster, it’s a mistake made by a few misguided workers, it’s people who die still to this day because a nuclear reactor exploded and caused cancer and death from radiation in April 1986 this story is sad.

Even if he didn't kill himself, he would have died from the radiation poisoning within 5 years at most. He even said so himself in the show. Scherbina only lived 4 years and 4 months since being first sent in there, or in other words, 2 years and 4 months after Legasov died.

Radiation is so interesting to me, you feel nothing, then suddenly you're getting cooked from the inside out.
Exactly.
I've heard it described as internal three-dimensional sunburn. :(
From what I know (and it may be a rather loose comparison) radiation affects cells in a similar fashion to what happens when a computer's hard disk is destroyed, while whatever is loaded into RAM remains. The DNA is annihilated or damaged beyond repair, and while the system may continue to operate for a short time, it soon requires instructions from the parts of its data store that have been destroyed. These errors and data losses compound exponentially, and the system collapses. If this happens to a few thousand cells, the body can repair and recover. If it happens to a few trillion, there is no coming back. It isn't so much a burn as it is a destruction of the data that allows the non-living parts of your cells to create something living.

His actions not only out-right killed 31 people from ARS (including the people in the control room directly under him), but also destroyed a major piece of Soviet machinery, rendered the area uninhabitable for the next century, and destroyed the Soviet Union. And he lived long enough to see all of that, because of what he did at 1:23:45AM, April 26th, 1986.

He sent people to manually lower control rods, again sending them to their deaths, but didn't do it himself.

I was living in London when this happened, and been reading all I could find (which wasn’t much) over the years since. Voices of Chernobyl, a collection of brilliantly edited first-person accounts has been out for years. The show used it as source material. I recommend reading it; author is Svetlana Alexievich.
You are not the first person I have heard recommend that book.
That is heartbreaking reading. Prosto pizdets.
Yes, Windscale fire did not happen in the UK 1957 with pollution of the territory, or an accident on Heysham 1 2018- they don't see the beam in their own eye. Only they can shoot gay shit with naked miners about other countries.
I haven't felt anger so visceral as the time I did when I first saw Chernobyl. It's a story of a particular country at a particularly devastating time. But the world has and will continue to endure attacks like Chernobyl, maybe even more serious and my blood boils at the idea of governments and bureaucracies saving their faces at the cost of lives. Lives of people who have nothing to do anything, who are innocent and who will eventually be used as sacrificial lambs because MuH pRiDe.
this is why the US has never had a problem like this with their nuclear reactor why cause they at least have the intelligence to tell the truth to those running and working in there plants about how they work not lying to them about how they work so they do the wrong thing thinking it's the right thing
the man saying "please" and trying to give her his baby. I just burst into tears. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Everything
I was 19 at the time of the Chernobyl disaster, living in the Netherlands on the German border. Me and my friends we were amateur astronomers & every year would spend many nights out in the countryside along the border observing stars under dark skies where we had a simple hut with water and electricity and our gear. We were just packing for another few nights out when we heard about the radioactivity from Chernobyl detected in Sweden and Germany. Governments recommended people to stay indoors when rain was expected and stay away from mushrooms. We quickly arranged a Geiger-counter and took it with us on our observation-trip. We had clear skies mostly and the rains only came briefly during the second and third nights. Three nights and days the ticking of our Geiger-counter told us what the natural background-level sounded like and made us think about all those less fortunate farther east …
I was 7 and I lived in Belarus. And we did not have any device like Geiger-counter. And! amazing thing! belorusian caws still give milk with radiation level higher than it should be. because our ground is still contaminated.
2:22 “the real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we will no longer recognize the truth.” One of the most meaningful lines in the whole series.

not talking about the tragedy that of course hits deep... but, this show made me think about the Official Story that people with power writes, it is the same in so many countries... and it's crazy that having so many evidence the official story always remains untouched, the same in all places... On the other hand, making a clear message about altering the truth by altering some historical facts it's almost revealing... we just keep repeating ourselves
Most Terrifying series ever because it is Reality.
The whole series was extremely haunting, and the coverups and propaganda that the government and plant workers put in place were terrifying. This edit was so good and really captured the essense of the show.

@@whitesquirrel4131 The world is collectively doing exactly the same thing when it comes to climate change right now. Disregarding the truth and walking right into disaster.
One of the most chilling scenes was with all the managers and committee members in the bomb-hardened basement at Chernobyl where the grizzled old career party man tapped his cane and calmly told everyone to kill the phone lines, contain the information and tell the people to focus on their work. They all clapped as firemen above were getting their deadly-dose of radiation because all those in power were still in denial that the core exploded. So much politicking for something that to this day has never been fully quantified in terms of long-term impact.
And naked miners are not LGBT propaganda by the British? Or is the threat to ordinary workers not anti-Soviet propaganda? And Legasov, who is so exalted by the British, he is the only one of all scientists who accepted the award for the liquidation, because he was scum. This is a dirty series and nonsense. There, in the series, an accident has just happened and the buildings are already stripped, in poor condition, the paint is peeling off as if 30 years have passed and they are removing the film against the background of this garbage - is this not propaganda?

When the accident happened I was 9 years old and I was living very far of Ukrania, in Argentina, but I had the intuition, even when I don't knew anything about the power of nuclear energy, that the things never would be the same for anyone in the world, and that was true, but a lot of people lived nearest the tragedy. Is good to know the story through their eyes.
On the other hand, you don’t know that the Fukushima accident has not yet been localized, there is still radioactive water leaking into the oceans, because the reactor core melted the concrete base of the building, the Japanese are also going to pour tons of radioactive water into the ocean. Of course, it is better to watch colorful English series about naked miners.
My dad was twenty when it happened. He told me he remembered waking up a few days later when the news got around and hearing about it. We watched the show together and he was shocked as he didn’t know how close everything was to blowing up. No one knew. Im from germany and he nor i would exist if it blew up like they said (around ep. 2..)its harsh and cruel to think how much Chernobyl impacted europe and that, until now, a lot of people didn’t know how close of a call it was to being even worse. I am indebted with my life to all those firefighters, workers and helpers who kept it from being much, much worse. I hope their families are ok and that they rest easily
I'm from Romania and kids here (and adults) started to get cancer and leukemia in great numbers after this. But of course, the population was not told of the incident until WEEKS later!!! Truly a terrifying thing... All of Europe and most likely all of Earth could have been wiped out...

Chernobyl was the greatest show ever to exist it told the raw stories of these Men and women who sacrificed everything and some of whom didn't know that they were being put in the line of danger because of lies. I think a lot of people thought it was going to cheapen the sacrifices but tbh I think it made them more meaningful
This show needs to win EVERY award!!!

You are dealing with something that have never occured in our planet.....so watch carefully and watch again....most informative series that I have ever seen....
as always, a maestro in compilation.
truths are always malleable.
facts are always out there.
details are sometimes lost in time.
memories survives as long as a person remembers.
time remembers Chernobyl for the impact it has created.
Thank you for posting this well-done tribute! As terrifying & sad as this story is, it ultimately gave me hope as well because of the reactions of the people involved. They showed the _best_ that humankind *can* be, because they gave their own health & lives to save others.

This is a pretty damn good trailer. Probably the best I've seen! Nicely done!
I went to college with an evacuee from Pripyat nearby. He had a few stories, and they mostly line up with the show.
