“Would we lie to you??”
The video that started an entire separate channel:
You can do a video on Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984 in India. It killed thousands and poisoned hundreds of thousands. It has been one of the biggest industrial disasters in the world.
I love the idea of not limiting biographics to just people. Maybe the next non-person biographic can be on the titanic.
We should all thank the thousands of men and women that sacrificed their health so that our world might survive and learn form it's mistakes
I was born about 100 miles from there in 1991. Still have my Chernobyl zone ID book.
What is the cost of lies? For the Soviet Union, after Chernobyl, apparently everything.
That moment when you fulfill the energy production of the 5 Year Plan in 0.3 milliseconds
Loving the new idea
As a child adopted from the zone, thank you for this, Simon, more people need to know of this. It is at least in some small part why Ukranians despise Russians. Chernobyl is literally the gift that keeps on giving. What it give is death and suffering.
Oh how I wish Gorbachev was there.
My colleagues and I put together a resin for treating the ground which would draw the radioactive material into trenches of resin at either end of the area it worked well and enable a lot of the outlying fields to have significantly reduced levels of danger. A considerable amount of work was done by non Russians such as myself and my colleagues from the UK and USA to solve the problems. The Russian/soviet government had neither the expertise, the will or the money to do anything about it. It was international cooperation that has done so much to reduce the effects of the disaster.
My history teacher told me that her son was in a team eliminating the consequences of this disaster. The helicopters that were used in the process were never used after that, and even grass was not growing around them.
Clicked on this by mistake. I'm not disappointed.
"I mean, come on we're the soviet authorities, would we lie to you?"
"Hey, Ivan, wonder what happens when we turn off the safeties on this reactor"

Fun fact about the Swedish. When they detected the radiation from Chernobyl, they originally thought it was a leak at their own nuclear plant and did a full sweep and found no cracks.
I recently visited Chernobyl on a day trip whilst visiting Ukraine last month. The powerplant still has a lot of workers and employees but Chernobyl village and pripyat are so sad to walk around 😭
