Fun fact: Marie Curie's body is stored in a lead-lined sarcophagus, and you need to wear a radiation suit to read her notes, which are stored in a lead-lined box.

Radiation in fiction: "cool, superpowers" Radiation in real life: *nope nope nope*

Radation: terrible way to die Gamma Radiation: Claim your green superhuman strength here!

I don't think most people appreciate how Marie Curie changed the world. Everything from Xrays to cancer treatments are due to her work.

Blistered heart: bad way to die, but a banging rock band name

"Excreting loose stools 25 times a day" Gets a taco bell ad

Humans: Radiation a terrible way to die. Godzilla: just a snack

Let’s not forget Hisashi Ouchi, who was kept alive for an agonizing 83 days (due to his family not signing a DNR due to hope of recovery) after getting dosed with 17 sieverts of radiation after an accident while making nuclear fuel. His DNA and chromosomal makeup were all but obliterated- he completely lost the ability to make new cells and was essentially a living corpse (look up “walking ghost phase”) as his skin fell off his bones and his organs hemorrhaged. At one point his doctors + nurses had to quit using medical tape on him because every time they tried to change it his skin would come off with it.

Fun fact: its thought that items that were believed to be cursed were probably just radioactive.

I remember this from when I was little the teachers saying those who died from the initial blasts over Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the "lucky" ones and the horrors those who suffered radiation poisoning had to go through :(

"A cute radiation sickness." Doesn't sound too harmful to me.

T-mobile: worst ways to die

Man I saw the Chernobyl mini-series and it was really scary and horrifying to see what happens to you when you get radiation

*Sigh* Radioactive Elements, nature's way of keeping the bugs at bay.

The Simpsons just left the chat...

How do you know a person from Chernobyl is happy? They wag their tail.

The lack of chernobyl references is astounding.

Don't forget Mr. Ouchi (yes, really!)

We could die like this at any moment. The fear was real back in the cold war.

Are you guys alright? It seems like death, the death penalty, different ways people used to die in the past, the worst ways to die, etc is a popular subject on the channel

the Infographic Hands used to be circles, and now they are bean shaped.

If the author really wanted to tell about the painful death from radiation, it would be the story of Hisashi Ouchi. He was exposed to 17 sieverts of radiation during accident at the Tōkai-Mura Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. And he died for 83 days in terrible agony. The book about him is called "Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness" Let me remind that exposure to 6 sieverets of radiation is considered fatal for humans.

"...a blistered heart. let's hope you never have to hear those words for the rest of your life!" (replays)

After watching the Chernobyl series, I no longer believe that radiation poisoning is ONE of the worst ways to die, I believe it's THE worst way to die.

The Infographics Show: **shows power plant** april 26th, 1986 me, instantly knowing what's happening: *c h e r n o b y l*

Worst ways to die. Stepping on a lego piece and not getting medical attention.

I'm convinced Infographics is obsessed with death

The collateral damage radiation can cause is insane, just a slight exposure and the aftereffects can be seen for generations to come

I remember the accident very well, i was only 5 at the time in sweden. I was at kindergarten playing outside in the rain. The problem was that that rain was very radioactive, because the clouds had formed over ukraine and blown to Scandinavia. I think By playing outside that day is the reason I have had 3 tumors over the years

Worst way to die: Being unable to physically die, starving, thirsting, unable to breath all while retaining your mind up until the moment your consciousness fades. Truly terrible a horrible death

I recently saw the video of “the most radioactive man on earth” and the experimental treatments they did to try and keep him alive. Even at the point where his eyelids had rotted away. Idk what’s better in that situation, let him go, or continue having hope

If you want to have nightmares then look up 'Hisashi Ouchi', he experienced the highest amount of radiation any human has been exposed to in recorded history. The pictures of his shrivelled up body, after all his skin fell off will haunt you.

The "two headed" baby would be conjoined twins. It says they increased, maybe even multiple sets? Conjoined twins are identical twins that failed to split entirely. They can be connected to any body part. So by their heads, back, stomach, bottoms, or like the babies here. There's several living twins like those babies. Some can be separated, but not all. The most famous set, were billed as "Siamese twins," in a freak show. They weren't even from there, w/a made up story, as was the norm. It's considered offensive, not said in this video, just added FYI since it's related.

I salute ignatenko fo trying to stop a great disaster and sacrifice his life for many others

It’s weird how we are all interested in death and yet don’t want to experience it ourselves afraid of it and the torture that comes with it varying on the way a person dies

Tied down with Cardi b cd on repeat is by far the worse way to go.

"Believe it or not, there was a baby born with two hearts and two heads..." pretty sure that's called Siamese twins and it would be two babies that are fused together. As rare as it is, it has happened many times throughout history, though I'm sure you're well aware.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the bravery of those first responders?

Moral of the story: Don't jinx things

It turned out well for the hulk so what could go wrong...

I love these videos! Big fan! Thank you for making them! :)

Clicked right when I got the Notification YAY Love the videos Keep up the great work. 👍👍🥳🙏

Marie Curie wasn't crazy she was just one of those people that found it hard to pull herself from her work. Her family tried a few times to get her to take vacations to rest but she insisted working harder would improve her mental state. I find it to be really relatable. Yeah her work killed her but, she was a physicist and chemist, not a doctor. Even then doctors didn't know anything about what radiation did to the body so there wasn't really any help for her. In that way she sacrificed her body and health for the advancement of the sciences. She fought tooth and nail in a profession that didn't want women around. Needless to say she is one of my personal inspirations.

"At the Chern-" Me: I have seen enough. I am satisfied

‘Radiation is one of the worst ways to die” Godzilla: yum

Hey man, thanks for this. I needed to do an oral presentation about whatever I wanted but I had no idea what to talk about. Now I decided to talk about ARS, you saved my life.

huge respect to the firemn that helped put the Chernobyl fire out . RIP to all the people who died by this painful way.

"and leaking from the rear end" HTF is that possible?!?!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Infographics show staff writers on there fallout 3 play through blew up megaton

I love u Infographics, ur vids are AMAYZING

Love ur vids man

Well I won't be sleeping tonight thanks

Oh, the "body eating itself alive" part I know. My endometrium was eating away my ovaries and intestines, my lungs malfunction because of asthma, it's worse with dust allergie and sunlight allergy, itching and skin peeling, bleeding out of holes. And the shifting bones make every joint hurt, even the spine while you get pins and needles all over your body at random or head splitting migraines with aura, hallucinations, night terrors, panic attacks, dysthymia and insomnia.

Love the vids

Nice vid!

Marie Curie was not "ignorant" they didn't know anything about radiation back then! Thanks to her research we now know the dangerous effects.

It's simple just carry some radaways with you and this won't happen

This is seriously one of the best thumbnails this channel has had, gotta give credit where it’s due

Worst ways to die: turning on the car light when your dad is driving.

“Died because of her ignorance” While I’m sure you didn’t mean to word it so harshly, it was not her “ignorance.” It wasn’t that she wasn’t aware of the effects of radiation on the human body - nobody was. Her contributions to radiology and chemistry are unparalleled, and her succumbing to such a tragic death actually brought to light what ionizing radiation can do to the human body.

Radiation: exists WWII: am I a joke to you

Lovin it!!!

Marie Curie: Lol, pretty blue lights.

Come to think of it, the losing teeth and jaw and holes in skull thing might have something to do with radium displacing calcium due to their similar chemical properties. They're both alkaline earth metals after all. Strontium also do the same thing, the accumulating-in-bones thing.

Employer : why should we hire you? Infographic : we specialize in death Employer : **sweats profusely** You're hired!!!

i love the infographics show thats why im so early

Mr. Ouchi's ordeal further exemplifies the way ionizing radiation torturing its victim.

When someone cuts power for your gaming pc so you cut power for reactor 4 at Chernobyl

Those infections must have been immune to radiation then

Infographics show now has a membership. Cool!

Great ss always Luv from Portugal 🇵🇹❤️❤️👍

"One glass a day keeps the doctor away!" Well, I'm sure no doctor would have wanted to even bother to try to heal him...

Worst Ways to Die: Death by Irony~

Whoa! You're being bold with that last one.

"Any evidence found?" "Nah, only this pink sprinkled donut."

Well at least it wasn’t Chernobyl level of radiation, was it....?

Extremely brutal

Yikes! This is one of the rare videos I couldn't finish. Blech!☠️

You wanna know the three most terrifying words that relate to ARS? _Walking Ghost Stage_ -- you feel fine, but it's a lie -- your body is dying and you just don't know it yet.

Literally read the title while singing "dumb ways to die"

the HBO series on Chernobyl is definitely worth watching.

4:47 Infographics dude: WTH??? Me: Same dude. same.

It is a SAD thing to die but life goes on

Patrolling the mojave makes you almost wish for a nuclear winter..

Never clicked on something by so fast

I like his videos a lot and it seems like he is a nice guy

This will really help the opinion of the public about nuclear powerplants

I've never seen any bad content in this channel, keep it up.

Answer me this...if you knew the pain you were facing and you knew you were going to die...would you have someone put you down?

I love info graphic

They had a doctor who was one of the physicians who treated victims of Chernobyl comment on the Chernobyl Series stating that when radioactive clothing is removed and the victim is throughly washed they dont pose much of a risk to others. Which makes sense or else the drs would be wearing hazmat suits. The unborn baby likely was exposed to radiation while her mother was still in Pripyat. 7:00

Husband is dying by radiation Karen : "Please, I know it's not safe, I need to see him!"

One of the soviet firefighters JOKED; “Ha, theirs probably so much radiation here, we’ll be lucky to make it alive till the morning.” Jesus, thats a JOKE in Russia?! Thats terrifying.

Eben Byers. In those days radium was believed to have revitalising qualities which is why he would drink it. The Radium water worked fine until his jaw came off.

I remember the Ignatenkos’ story from the HBO docudrama, dang...

2nd I hope

I wouldn’t say Marie Curie died from her ignorance so much as her innovation. Of course there is truth to the former, but she’s a scientist who’s innovations have benefited the world.

I’d love to see an episode on the radium girls!

I love this

These speechify adverts are annoying.
