Chernobyl: Hour by Hour (FULL MOVIE)

Its totally safe, The amount of times ive been to chernobyl with out effects of radiation, i can count on all of my 12 fingers.

I disagree about the tourism bit at the beginning. I am a nuclear plant engineer and think ever single nuclear worker should be required to visit the site to see the consequences of a breakdown, or lack of, safety culture.

what those first few fireman went thru was HORRIFIC absolutely nightmarish

That woman's voice is immortalized. You can just feel her concern for the people there.

The disaster which no one wanted to admit liability for. Pass the blame down the line, to those on the ground. People who fought to still protect their jobs, not knowing the awful truth. Those who escaped and survived only then, for now. Those who stepped in to help (bribed by money), saved a lot of people in the world. Honour and respect, to all who stepped in to help, those who spoke out about the truth and to their families.

Never allow chefs to operate a nuclear power plant.

My dad is not a well educated man. He has dyslexia- something that didn’t exist in the fifties when he was growing up. He can still just barely read. He may not be book smart- but he knows people. In 86 when Gorbachev admitted that there had been a “problem”, my dad pretty much freaked. If a guy like Gorbachev admitted there’d been a problem, it was a thousand times worse than was reported. Guys like Gorbachev don’t admit failure of any degree. Even if everyone can see it- they pretend it’s not there. If they acknowledge it… it’s beyond bad.

I've been watching a few videos of Cheynobol, I feel I know now more than I did in 1986.i feel deeply for all of those that were the firemen, and all the others that saved us all from a bigger disaster. They are hero's not to be forgotten 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I've seen and read everything I could ever find on Chernobyl. Just fascinates. This doc is completely new to me. Very interesting.

I was 25 when this happened and I lived in Pennsylvania. TMI was a fairly recent memory. We listened to the news on the radio all day at work, and we're glued to the TV news. There was a somewhat low-grade sense of Doom shared by everyone. Everyone around my age had grown up living with the Cold war nuclear threat. We had no idea how bad this could become for the world

I remember when this was all over the news. Its so heartbreaking. May those poor people all rest in peace,

The professor being interviewed: To make a short story long...

This felt less like an examination of the disaster, and more a post-modernism deconstruction of how the disaster makes this one guy feel...

"Most toxic mass on Earth" Clearly he's never been 4chan

When expert advice is ignored due to political demands, a "situation" will indeed occur and grow worse. A sobering lesson for the ages.

Lots of people in the comments are calling this documentary nonsense or misinformation but if you ask me I think this documentary is an appropriate one for kids in Middle/High School being given a brief introduction to the nuclear disaster. Obviously they didn’t go into extreme detail and talk about some of the raw truths behind this disaster and if they want to look up more of the disaster they can do that on their own time at their own risk. I was a substitute teacher and put this documentary on for the students. Very eerie and interesting to say.

This guy watched a bunch of docs on Chernobyl and wanted to give his thoughts...

Seeing history like this reminds me of seeing Mt Saint Helens or the titanic, haunting, empty, deadly and dangerous. Very sad for those who lost their lives.

Very nicely put together video and very informative as well. Thanks for posting this.

I remember watching a documentary about this a few years ago and they said that if the reactor had detonated it would've been a 30 megaton blast and all of eastern Europe would've been uninhabitable for 10000 years. Could you imagine had that been the case?
