what happened to top tenz and what do you have to do with that bitcoin guy i need answers

Megaprojects looking to set a trend with it. Just remember, when you see title cards all over KZfaq doing this, we’ll all know where it came from.

Megaprojects Yo will there be a TIFO about why there’s all these crypto scams these days?

@@ashkitt7719 too easy... Money is the answer, you have it, they want it.

No more new channels please

born year after chernobyl you say?

Pretty sure Danny is one of the twins/clones

I love that idea. It would explain the slight personality differences between his channels such as how much more fun/relaxed/silly Business Blaze is.

This is Simon 2.0. The original was replaced by our reptilian overlords after he confirmed the existence of the Illuminati on TIFO. Robot Simon is slowly taking over KZfaq 😂

My working theory is that Simon is CGI. :-)

I'm not opposed to this

Hell yeah!❤️

Simon Whistler channels already are over half of my regular daily KZfaq content, and KZfaq is over 1/2 of all my media content. I will let someone else do the math on that ...

James Simmons - I’m waiting for him to make a Channel called “go whistle”.

The year that KZfaq Rewind is made up solely of Simon Whistler in all his forms is the year that it will get more likes than dislikes

"The half life of plutonium-239 is 24000 years so i guess you could say it wont be fixed in our life time"

An entire lifetime?? What planet are you from?

That's why I'm a Trojan™ Man.

Happens all the time.

@@Theaielman Plutonium emits Alpha Radiation as it's primary decay product. The Alpha Particles are too large to large to pass through your skin, so it's only a problem if you eat it. Also, a long half life means that something is very stable. It emits extremely low levels of radiation over an extremely long time period. The tough part of the job in Chernobyl (as if building the containment wasn't enough) will be collecting all the fine particles of Pu-239 inside and isolating them.

I support this vision of the future.

and Chernobyl is safe to go to!

He’s been an AI the whole time…

I concur, and find your views on how the world will turn out a perfect scenario

Exactly hahaha

I mean, you can get some really cool 360 drone footage that way. Better yet how about this: You go to an open space, roof or otherwise. Use drones for that great 360 degree video capture but combine it with augmented reality where Simon basically does the minority report thing where he pulls up schematics and other info to show the viewer. Then we have a zoom in scene switch where it goes from the schematic to the real thing. Would it be a lot of work, yes. Would it be possible with current day technology, absolutely. In the end it's the viewer, not Simon that has to see the result, he just has to do the right movements to make it work with special effects added later.

Indeed. Later, Gonzo will focus on Simon's kneecap ( _The Great Muppet Caper_ ).

The shots will only be 90 seconds long

everywhere bricks ....red bricks

That's genius! "The multiple bodies must have been from his servants that were loyal and chose to be buried with him."

@@LSSYLondon we believe they would have felt honored as it was surely the reason for their praise that followed..

He was vaporized tho

Thank you, this made me laugh.

Hahaha altho it makes you wonder....

He’s mentioned before on business blaze that it’s having the writers and editors that make having all these channels possible! I have to wonder how many scripts he reads in a day.

his content is fucking terrible lol

They rename it from KZfaq to Whistler!

That's the core of why you don't give up when confronted with something seemingly impossible. Something or things may change (as many things eventually do), and suddenly unreachable goals are pulled within your grasp 👊

Impossibilities are only impossible if you never believe they are possible to begin with. Many years ago people thought it was impossible to go to space and yet we accomplished that in 1961.

myfairytalelife3 and just 8 years later, we landed on the moon.

@@justanotherasian4395 Yepp. And to think that the first time anything human-made was ever sent to space was only 20 years before we actually landed on the moon. It took us 12 years to go from "first human-made object to make it to space" to "first human to make it to space".

They will effectively only be categorizing the different bits of debris and ground in terms of how radioactive they are and storing them accordingly. The radiation doesn't go away (not in human timespans anyway).

Wait until he gets a green screen..

Rash Leonard, yep. Back when Simon did his videos from home. Newer subs should find the How It’s Made: TIFO video. Simon built his own set. Pretty cool. Sorry Rash, that was for newer subs.

Weyrleader M'ry please watch it! It’s so good.

I didn't even know there was an HBO special until it was mentioned in this video.

I haven’t watched it yet either

@@justanotherasian4395 It's one of those shows you watch once and never want to watch again.

@@djsonicc lmaooo I love this reference

I wonder what the half life is of quotes from the HBO show so I know when I can watch a video on Chernobyl and not have to see them again 🙄

Aborted watching the vid. Scrolling down to the comments in hope to see this. Without comments about anything else : )

It's Russian ;)

Cropping video is har

I found this scrolling through the comments to see if I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

@Gareth Johnstone That's great and all, but what happened to my Before Mat

Simon has been stockpiling for the coronavirus then over on businessblaze cause he has a huge pile

I think he's sustained on sarcasm and wit

Sounds like a set of _Muppet Show_ puns from Season 1 (guest star, Charles Aznavour).

And his hair fell out. Erection zone?

Notre Dame Island (Montreal) has an interesting story as well.

Thanks that's a good tip! There's another great one by Serhii Plokhy called "Chernobyl: History of a disaster" which is in a similar vein, but goes really far back into the Soviet ministries and culture that preceded the accident. It's translated from (I think) Ukrainian so there's a couple of errors probably from that, that I noticed but it's scarily addictive.

Also the babushkas of chernobyl, old women living among the ruins.

This is one of my favorite books. It was the first book that ever made me say out loud “Holy shit.”

funny bc he got a bunch of the early info wrong or left out entire parts

Should have been: AFTERMAT HS

I knew something was off, Mainly the powersuply

Yeah, the Pyramids would just get reburied but otherwise intact without human intervention. But Mount Rushmore would remain visible and recognizable as human faces longer without maintenance. But the Voyager spacecraft and the other probes that have reached escape velocity relative to the sun should remain intact for the foreseeable future but without power any of them would likely get mistaken for a rogue small asteroid if any enter another solar system.

A pile of rocks last a long time, but I would not call it an engineering marvel.

@@XtreeM_FaiL Really? Then why can't it be replicated?

arealassassin Who has said that it can't?

@@XtreeM_FaiL He does realize that especially with Modern Building Methods we can easily Replicate a Pyramid, right?

Not to mention the ingenious system to move the whole thing in place.

I really liked them! I love fun socks.

Cheers comrade

@DATING HARLEY QUINN I've read the book, and it is excelent. I've played the game and I love it. But I can't say the same about movie. It is a garbage to me.

GET OUT OF HERE, STALKER

Dude, I'm so glad you saw this as well. I was wondering if I was the only one seeing this 'spelling bee'... The rest is flawless, obviously, since this Is. Simon. Whistler's. Work. The Man. The Legend. The entire YT content provider.

@@megaprojects9649 A font issue is different than a typo. [rolleyes]

Simon needs to work on the type spacing; I found it annoying that words are split.

I thought it was some loose play on slavic language

Me too! I also find the educational videos presented by brits or Irish folks help lull me to sleep easier.

He'll just change his pose or shirt for them 😂

Megaprojects next channel is in front of Danny’s cell.

@@simonkimberly6956 lol, like it.

*Aftermat

Yeah but u gotta account for inflation too. Were dealing with 80's money here theres a slight difference compared to modern money

@@JahMagne223 That also accounts for why long term projects usually greatly exceed the budgetary expectations. Regardless, 2.1B really is a reasonable cost considering - I mean that's like R&D on a new jet these days.

Chernobyl would be awesome to visit. I'm jealous. Granted I'm also a former nuclear engineer...

Chernobyl has cute puppers

When they screw up it's warranted.

graphic design is my passion

Megaprojects production quality Presenter: 9/10 Research: 8/10 Writing: 7/10 Video editing: 6/10 Titles: 1/10 Sometimes its the small details that bring production quality down. This channel is still really interesting and Simon is pretty much the best presenter on YT right now.

I could listen to him read the phone book.

Ohhhh some ASMR PLEASE SIMON!!

Considering the interviews and research that went into "Chernobyl," and my distrust of opinion pieces from the NYT... I tend to go by the research, the book "Voices of Chernobyl," the tapes Legasov left, and the testimonies of scientists who came forth after the collapse of the USSR.

@@mooniejohnson Instead, go and watch some actual doctors and physicists and engineers discuss the movie. (It's not a documentary). One of the most hilarious wrong things is that nuke sickness is not contagious and the baby did NOT die. No research went into that movie. None.

Yea notably the woman didn't exist..because of course. And yes if you are literally a walking glowing rod level danger, you woulld already be dead.

@@Johnny_Shields yeah it isnt "contagious" in the definition of the word, but a human can become so irradiated that they are in fact dangerous to others near them. If you are in their presence long enough it will sicken you.

@@mrdumbfellow927 If they are that irradiated, they died long ago and are now a rotting corpse. The radioactive particles are absorbed by the body destroying it from the inside. Don't pretend to know jack if you don't.

YES

Right along with White Light/Black Rain.

When you put it that way it reminds of the movie Threads.

THE AFTERMAT

ABSOLUTE LY

Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed all these 🤣 Simon is a busy guy!

Little did you know, Chernobyl had a second use as a dryer for door mats with the extra heat from the reactor

Was wondering how many would mention this.

@@megaprojects9649 absolute ly

I'm just here for the Aftermat response.

I guess that makes two of us?

FOUR!😁

I went there in Oct 2019, before seeing the HBO show, watched that on the plan on the way back home... I was lucky to have gone with a friend who lived in Poland when this happened. He talked about how it changed his day at school and other little bits of info like when the Soviets started playing classical music on the radio you knew something bad had happened.

Two. Me.

I am still the other one.

It's 10 or more I guess

According to Simon's list, it's 8. I thought it was 9 but I think he dropped one channel, History Highlights, or something like that.

@Biliary ClintonCut it out, buttmunch.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. 🤣🤣

I am Cornholeo!!!

Are you threatening me

Largest =/= heaviest.

@@LordofFullmetal that oil rig is about 150 metres tall

I thought he was making a Russian joke haha

Hard to re ad

I think it's an editing mistake, based on the first title card having a spelling error too (aftermat instead of aftermath). Which is kinda odd for a Simon channel, usually the edits are on point.

@@megaprojects9649 Bad Simon!

Megaprojects Points for fessing up you absolute legend.

@@megaprojects9649 Eh, it happens. Learning experience!

That doesn't show Communism as evil so *SHHH*

1959 SRE partial melt down incident, Santa Susana CA. Just outside of LA.

It was only a partial meltdown, or a "Level 5" event. Chernobyl was a "Level 7" and is the only "Level 7" event so far. The level system is the Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. 0-7, 7 being most severe. Chernobyl effected far more people & we are still trying to contain it even after 34 years.

Cody Meade how about Fukushima where more reactors exploded? 🤔

@@MrCarl95 not a level 7, they went through partial meltdown.

And there are other accidents such as the SL-1 meltdown and explosion, which killed people, even if only the workers on-site.

three mile is only level 5, this is a level 7, a full meltdown en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Nuclear_Event_Scale

Three Mile Island, and I'm definitely not denying the severity of it, was only a leak... Chernobyl was an explosion of a reactor core that ended up killing hundreds of thousands because of incompetence.

@@mooniejohnson Oh yes they're definitely incomparable, but he did describe Chernobyl as "the world's first nuclear meltdown" and that is definitely disputable if not refutable. Completely melted reactor material reached the containment vessel at TMI, and it was only due to the superior safety of the design that it didn't escape.

Floss Man it wasn’t a “leak” it’s was a partial meltdown. The difference between the two was other than one being a full meltdown, TMI was built with containment. Chernobyl didn’t have any secondary containment, it only had the actual structure. If TMI was built as cheap as Chernobyl it would have been way worse but the majority was contained.

I'd say clean up what you can with robots and dump in non reinforced concrete loaded up with lead and let that cure.

And hiring them as Space Ubers.
