Radioactive dust on the roofs were the real killers. Skin not protected by masks were covered in radio active dust, and due to sweating of the crews,that stuff sticked on their skin.
@@internetbodhi1009 i saw they were washing the roofs with some chemicals in the city. Couldn't they do the same there? At least it wouldn't be that bad for the liquidators
@@Jeffcrocodile washing down roofs with chemicals caused even more problems, due to capillair effects. They should've vacuum cleaned that stuff. Would've been even more easier. But these guys were on a time clock and lots of things were completely new under these circumstances back then.
Can I ask what was the point of those actions? Those houses were too radioactive or what ?
I think it was to make more space to bury more stuff
The whole area was contaminated, so they had to destroy their homes.
Kristian Mucaji to stop people coming back to Chernobyl and pripyet to live
@@Ruvik92 That's a good example. Actually, people won't be able to live here for at least 20.000 years.
Kristian Mucaji I read this somewhere they knocked them down for this reason :)
На камере видно как радиация "кричит"
what is the name of this vehicle looks like t72 designated for radiation
Military engineering vehicle IMR-1 (ИМР-1).
The asbestos was probably more dangerous than the radiation.

why not just leave this alone?

@@Jeffcrocodile I don't think they would be destroying abandoned houses if they had better alternatives
@@Jeffcrocodile they was too big

because its too radioactive, to just leave it there
