Was wondering if you have been in contact with any of your guides from this trip. After seeing Russia attack the country of Ukraine my immediate thoughts went to my contacts from my trip in 05 and 07. I hope your guides are safe and any comment you can make concerning Chernobyl and Russians digging into the soil of the red forest would be interesting. Best wishes.
Anybody else notice there was a bird that was mimicking the dosimeters? Shortly after they walk up into the bumper cars, it starts real quiet but gets a lot louder. It's the same rhythm and almost the exact same pitch as the dosimeters they were just using on the ferris wheel.
5:30 - it might be lead-based paint on that ferris wheel, which could account for the length of time it sat, and it has faded but not peeled away like the other paints. As I said, might be.
@@joshmatthiesen4552 The park was definately used at least once, as there are pictures showing visitors using the rides. However, it's uncertain if it was simply a test day/preview day a few months prior to the accident or opened post-accident as a distraction.

Hallo Abandoned Explorer this a great video again, I have heard so much about former Sovjet Republic the Ukraine and the city of Pripyat, near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant which explode in 1986, its a pity to see so many huge buildings, apartments and playground now in decay and totally abondaned...everything left behind since the outbreak of that nuclear poison radiation. Very sad to watch this all, but my compliments to show us all those memorable places, moments which will never come back...... I have enjoyed it.
After watching the Chernobyl series on hbo I can’t believe you got as close as you did to some of that firefighters cloth, that shit is still hazardous fr
One of the absolute worst decisions you did was touching anything especially at the amusement park because there is extremely dangerous levels of radiation at the amusement park coating everything.
Or "explorers", when I think of couch potatoes Or "I'm not exactly sure what it says" when looking at something written in Russian (see pt 1), guys... Yeah, it's a bit ho humish.
Many ppl here after watching the HBO show I see. Gotta say this. My dad worked in Kiev year - 86 when the disaster happened and because of the nature of his job he had to fly over Tšernobyl several times. Told us that even years later on a cloudy day there was always a perfect round hole in the clouds above the reactor. Later he moved back to Moscow to work there but he remembers all of the radio- and tv proadcasts. This shit is very real and it's painful to think about it.
That would be a great thing, it could also put a portion, or all, of the proceeds to go for a Chernobyl victims fund. A great way to get more help for them.
Hello there, could you please advise why entering theater is dangerous? I mean people are going in hospital basement to check on firefighters clothes and this I would consider as danger for sure Thank you for your reply 🙏
This was like having teeth pulled. If you were going to go to one of the most iconic disaster sites in modern history you could have brushed up on more than the most basic tepid and erroneous in places, pop trivia. the Chernobyl event as well as the Kyshtym disaster have always been a fascination with me and this cheapened it. Respect for the Liquidators.
@@kukuc96 Why is everyone and his dog continuingly going on about smoking?OK,its bad for you,period.We know,please quit with your cleaner than thow remarks,we knew it was bad for you 20 years ago and still most of us carried on as it was fashionable.Now the powers that be have made it completely unfashionable its becoming tiresome!
Wow, the guy smokes. Who ever saw or heard of a person smoking? Fuck me, religious beliefs are more toxic than tobacco yet you probably wouldn't bat an eye at a church, mosque or synagogue.
Are the contaminated firefighters gear still in the hospital ? if so it would mean that there was something there that was just meters away from the exposed core, almost immediately after it exploded. Pretty crazy.
Some people still got to see the basement, there is a sole on a pair of boots that went up to 103mS/v and it was still climbing. The debris was found as far away as Pripyat itself, one photographer found a small bit of a fuel pellet, collected it as evidence, and sent it for safe keeping. It was a piece about the size of a pea, I believe it was at 33mSv/h.
Kind of like the dust and debris from WTC 1, 2 and 7 collapsing, it went everywhere. There was an operation which demolished a heavily irradiated building. Civilians and officials watched the building come down. Huge plume of radioactive dust, everyone literally ran for their lives. They didn't carry out following demolition because of the high levels of radiation.
Hmmmm. I heard the amusement park never actually opened. It was supposed to a couple of days after the explosion but never did. I wonder who's actually right about that? This guy is the only person that I have heard said that it did.
@@Vengeance627 after a few years the radiation goes down so it is safer but not safe enough to live there.while he was walking around there are many people making sure he is ok .
Another fantastic video from Abandoned Explorer. I really prefer to think of the Stalker series when i watch exploring videos from Chernobyl. Once again many thanks for re-telling the story of this tragic event. Be well and keep safe, regards Gary.
@ 16:46, gynecological exam bed/chair. Woman lays down on it and one leg goes on either side for the doctor to be able to give the exam ( this one is missing the right leg extension ). The one before it is used for child birth or exams ( stirrup chair ).
Shame how the hospital used to be such a joyous place, bringing new lives into the world on a daily basis as Pripyat had such a young population but then overnight turned into a place of death and suffering.So sad!
@@snusemcgoose1001 they aren't dead, most of the people who actively participated in the liquidation are still alive to this day, not even talking about regular habitants of the city.
It's such an amazing place I've wanted to visit for such a long time and I'm sure I will at some point Neil so many people would still have memories of Pripyat and it's fascinating seeing it now and how it used to be
I still remember when markiplier got that cup that had a Geiger count of over 2000....which means (by protocol) 'evacuate immediately and report to government.
I want to thank you for this...always been fascinated with this place and I know I will never get there....this is great!! I appreciate you letting me come along! FASCINATING!
I paid £85 for the tour £50 return flight from England £40 for 4 nights in a private room only in a hostel in Kiev Took some searching to get the flight so cheap (i bet from the U.S. a really cheap return can be found) but it can be done on an extreme budget and as you know Kiev is crazy cheap.

Another cool fact for the rides is that it was for the annual spring celebration fair
Wow, I can’t wait to visit. Just an FYI, it’s called Pripyat, not Pipyrat.
Or Pypryat.
Some say that that furniture is still in better shape than the junk you buy at Ikea in the US.
that place is well creepy...

Fuk'n awesome series of vids so far, I plan on watching them all.... Must've been surreal actually being there...... Wish I was there.
5:30 - it might be lead-based paint on that ferris wheel, which could account for the length of time it sat, and it has faded but not peeled away like the other paints. As I said, might be.
I didn't know about the Grand Opening of the Amusement Park being the day of the diaster, wow.

One of the best HBO series in a long while. Jared Harris, Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgaard are amazing.
The dog is like, 'go to hell you're just going to leave me'.
That doggy is so cute. He looks just like a domestic dog.
I feel like it's great that people are scared of radiation but have a very big misunderstanding about dose equivalents
11:46 oh that's vodka for sure

You really aren't supposed to smoke there. It's actually quite dangerous to put something by your mouth in a radioactive area.

You get taken round by a guide who wont let you stop there very long.
Your intro is Badass!
I am so disappointed to see basement completely shut down...Why the hell you need to do that. Its a historical place.

@@sarahduckett8837 lol i was jk- how bizarre wuld it be, an amusement park at Cherynobl
I wish people would shut up about radiation. It’s like listening to the Covid police
Tell me about it haha 😂😉
Should have checked the morgue.... i wonder if they just left the bodies there. Lol
Never thought of that
