Silly joke that doesnt make sense ... and I hope you remember the part of the episode where they show the REASON for this invasion: the naval base on Crimea ... which will be worthless if NATO can station missiles this close to it. NATO "promised" not to expand eastward 30+ years ago ... but hey, that promise didnt last long. The USA was also guaranteeing the independence of Ukraine ... but then kept influencing it by sending billions of $$$$ to basically bribe the people.

@@Muck006 NATO has never ‘expanded’ as you wrongly think. Expansion is a word for dictators and tyrants who March their army’s into unwilling country’s and flatten everything in their path. NATO is a group of independent country’s who have over time chosen to join the alliance, and I understand the word ‘choice’ is not something in the vocabulary of a Russian or someone who supports them. Ultimately though wether you support Russia or not my joke does make sense because this invasion has been one of the most incompetent Europe has seen. Logistics are in disarray, there’s plenty of evidence of vehicles left abandoned and without fuel. It shows that apart from its Nukes, NATO has no reason to fear Russia, NATO could easily defeat Russia in a conventional war. Let’s face it, Russia surrounds Ukraine and Ukraine is a much smaller force, but with superior tactics and western military might Ukraine has made a joke of a once proud country.

@Jie Andaya yup, sorry mate

@Jie Andaya BTW i can take a print and post?

@Jie Andaya ok, no prob

@GracjanPlayz bruh nobody cares

Especially after watching HBO's Chernobyl

It’s scary as is, even more so knowing what it means.....

And it's no doubt inaccurte. They wouldn't do this if it wasn't safe. I bet you they wouldn't have even gotten anywhere near where they were if it was still considered too unsafe to drive through, have studied TV too much to fall for that. (But just for clarity, yeah that geiger coutner noise is scary :D)

ツFredi very true but you can not argue that Chernobyl was in fact safe and that was before they covered it up

It is safe as long as you don't live there. Technically you can't fly on that many airplanes either because the radiation is high, but the few hours don't matter that much. In that big of an area you'll be exposed for way longer though and there'll be more damage done.

Feels like something out of a horror movie

@Zeuffy god

Oh my God yeah, that was horrible. That was straight up horrifying. And that was before they got there!! And then when they saw it: I think I held my breath? It was something out of a horror movie!

Like something out of a scary movie.

I used to find it creepy aswell untill I found youtube channels literally going there and camping in the buildings. The channel is called Shiey if you were wondering.

It quite literally can never be forgotten because the problem will not go away in ANY of our lifetimes. The half-life of that waste material and remaining nuclear fuel are insane. And all this because a handful of dullard building engineers, under trained nuclear technicians, one arrogant moron and a single faulty button turned one outdated reactor into a bomb more long term devastating than BOTH bombs dropped on Japan combined.

@@Windclaw There have been plenty of accidents in the US, GB, Japan, etc aswell. Usualy hidden better. Also Clarkson is greayly exaggerating here. There are actually people working in the building on a daily basis. Ppl impressed with a geiger counter, but have no idea what it reads or what it means.

@@TheUrbanGaze For where they were they dont need to cover up in hazmat suits. Visitors to the area have to, for as far as i know, still have to wear cumulative geigermuller counters with a pre set for alarm and have to stay within cleaned areas. Also they are instructed what to do; dont pick up anything, what to do if the counter sounds alarm, etc.

Actually, it was all the fault of Dyatlov being a total Karen. @@Windclaw

@@Windclaw lmao, 4000 people died in total from the Chernobyl disaster. The act of literal genocide that was dropped on the two Japanese cities was over 200000. Don't even attempt to whitewash the US.

@@yakivpopavich cope harder russki

@@spiroagnew3909 Keep seething. 30% of Ukraine's regions and territories are now Russian held. Ukraine is admitting it's losing multiple towns, villages and cities in both the South and East daily. Their commanders are outright saying they are out-manned 5 to 1 in most areas in regards to infantry. And for every piece of armor they have, Russia has ten. And they are stating that every ONE shell they fire from an artillery piece, Russia fires ten from multiple pieces. And lets not even mention the air situation, where Russia has complete and total superiority. Less than 100 Ukrainian air assets left operational and Russian jets and helicopters perform strikes with near impunity from other aircraft. Kiev could only intercept 1 out of 5 cruise missiles fired from Russian jets some weeks ago. Ukrainian ground to air defense systems cannot handle Russia's firepower, simply put. Now lets look to the waters, where the sea is filled with hundreds of Russian vessels. Once again, these boats can fire rounds straight into Kiev whenever they are told to do so, among many other locations. Ukraine is destined to lose. They may have infinite western supply, but they have finite manpower. Limited amounts of men. There is no UN/NATO/US infantry backup coming to save them, and they are suffering hundreds of casualties per day. In due time there will not be any Ukrainian military forces left to pick up and use any of these fancy imported weapons. Unfortunately for Zelenskky when he said " We will fight to the last Ukrainian " he didn't understand Putin is willing to oblige him.

Transilvanian90 Best comment!!!

I'm not certain how good those engines are after all that redlining. Not great, but not terrible.

This is why I came here

🤣

"Survived Pripyat"...

It was scripted, in reality walking around Chernobyl is totally safe

I’d say don’t stay there for more than 12hrs and you’ll be fine

If you travel along the roads you're pretty much safe it's just being in the plant that's pretty much death

@@Galedan-C1029 I'm pretty sure the hospital there is still extremely dangerous too. Or at least, the basement is.

Parts of the region are more dangerous than others. The playground isn't somewhere I'd want to be for long. Just depends on how it settled.

And then there are the S.T.A.L.K E.R.s they go in illegally all the time and are fine

there are still pockets of intense radioactive buildup everywhere in random areas wherever the wind carried it that day. you need a geiger counter. you also do not want to exceed your yearly limit for background radiation. the red forest is still deathly toxic. it got the heavy doseage of radiation immediately after the reactor blew. it was absorbed into the foliage and gradually filtered to the ground.

@@MrWolfSnack russians learnt that the hard way

@@Crunchy121 lol yeah. I wonder what happened to them. The last news heard was that they went to the army hospital in Belarus and when the one guy broke the geiger counter because he was so irradiated, they all panicked and ran away out of the hospital and into Belarus. PM of Ukraine and the nuclear expert said they had about 6 months to live if not less.

@@MrWolfSnack Severe radiation sickness is just the start, if the case here was extreme they would develop multiple organ failure quite fast, I am not sure just how hot the nuclear waste buried in the red forest is, but given the AMOUNT that was buried there? Just walking through that place would be hazardous. A lifespan of half a year seems reasonable. Someone needs to shoot the moron who gave those poor saps the order to dig trenches in one of the most irradiated sites on the planet.

Always gives me chills, no joke. Andy Wilman and the guys that do the audio track editing know their stuff. I read years and years ago that James May picks the music for the various scenes (you dont get to hear it in youtube, dave reruns, or the dvd versions sadly)

The fact they had to close the back doors I think adds to it, too. It feels more like a found footage movie when we get those shots.

Stop exaggerating ppl. Its not dangerous provided you take some measures. Rainy day is actually better, as no dust kicks off, that could contain radio active particles

“It’s gone...”

coffeecat450 the radioactive stuff gone?

Liam Macdonald no ‘twas a joke of BBC leaving Jeremy behind, in reality the radiation is still quite present despite the fact that the protective dome around reactor number 4 was finished a few years ago. However living organisms that can withstand radiation are slowly starting to reclaim the area, the amount of damage that Chernobyl has done is not nearly as bad as Fukushima, as it’s still spreading radioactive isotopes into the Pacific Ocean causing further damage in the future... So anyway, cheers!

you probably forgot about this comment, but now I have the honor of presenting you with the 2000th like. Well played

Clearly you never saw the episode where they dumped them in Iraq, unarmed in convertibles

this is technically more dangerous, they were driving just near to the exposed reactor core, under it there is the elephants foot. which has radiation unknown to science

@@k7r-n That's untrue. When the Elephant's Foot was discovered it gave out about 8000 roentgens. When Artur Korneyev visited it in 1996 it was only about tenth of that due to nuclear decay. It's still pretty radioactive but far from unknown to science.

@@adamgorski2610 Yes, it is known to science. I just didn't want to google it. I was too lazy. Thanks anyway!

mandarin125 absolutely but it’s just chilling overall. There were far more tragic events but it’s jus that they are driving right through danger.

I think they did open it up after the explosion for a day or two whilst they were evacuating people. Trying to keep people calm and all that.

Didn't they open the doors on the day of the meltdown to attract attention away from the fire going on?

+tehcornflakes Live no it was open for only one day because the government told them to go there to wait untill they were evacuated and it did not explode it leaked.

+carton228 live It did open on the 27th for one hour though, It was open to distract people from the reactor blow whilst the evacuation buses arrived.

@@jonatancools8844 you're actually illiterate

There is many scientists and firemen in there that could not be recovered due to the extremely high radiation. There is a story I read about when a scientist went to save his friend he was so irradiated that his hand burned into through his coat and clothing.

There is at least 1, one of the workers. Left entombed inside the sarcophagus in an extremely radioactive part of it.

Actually I think there's only one, Valery Khodemchuk. He was a pump operator and died during the explosion. He's still entombed in the rubble near reactor 4 inside the sarcophagus.

They are probably puddles

Poor Khodemchuk the engineer was never found; he was either obliterated or buried by the explosion. He's still under the rubble in what was the pump room.

yeah

If you go back through the old seasons and some of james mays toy stories whoever does sound and music uses game soundtracks it seems more like an easter egg to Stalker shadow of Chernobyl and the enemy the controller that does that same ear piercing screech.

TheReal Doom same

The most terrifying part is knowing the chaos, destruction and death that ONE REACTOR did to the land, and how much radiation is STILL in that building. And it's worse when u think about the fact that the only thing standing between us and the longest and deadliest disaster the earth has seen since the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, is concrete, bad welding from the rush of containing the radioactive waste, and now a big movable dome of sheet metal that is LITERALLY on 2 train tracks! All we need is for a tornado to hit anywhere near reactor 4 Or the Chernobyl NPP and WE ALL PAY THE PRICE!
