Chernobyl 1 X 2 ' Please Remain Calm ' REACTION!!

24:20 - it is very hard to notice, but actually, he didn't said about dangers to the people who asked him, because he understood that they are from KGB, or that hey could work for KGB.

The firefighters cloths are still in the hospital basement. Nobody removed them because of the radiation hazard

[@gottagowork]

Minus one boot, from what I've heard. You can visit the basement as a tourist, wearing a dosimeter of course to see for yourself just how bad it still is, and some clown thought a boot would be a good souvenir. I have no idea if this is true or its just one of them cool internet stories. But, at least its a good story...

1979 there was a leak in Pennsylvania (3 mile island) Luckily it was caught in time no one died but it is said that the community around the location cancer diagnosis increased 😟

The thing is, in the Soviet Union, you had to be wary of people asking you "innocent" questions.

[@IulianYT]

3:55 - gloves don't protect against radiation, at least I don't know about such gloves. Still, workers at nuclear power plants and laboratories which deal with radioactive materials - use separate clothes for work, again, clothes don't protect much, but at least when they switch the clothes - they get rid of potential radioactive dust.

16:10 - no, radiation sickness is not infectious, you still may be affected by being near a person who was irradiated, but that will be thousands of thousands times less strong than exposure which the patient has been through.

[@vargr198]

Layman's rule of thumb - soft things like human body let radiation to pass through but get damaged, hard things like metal and concrete absorb it and can be used for shielding but eventually become a source of radiation.

[@gottagowork]

Well, only kinda. You don't get irradiated by an irradiated person, you get irradiated from any hot particle still stuck to his extremities. That would be the case back in Pripyat hospital, because the patients had too severe radiation burns to be properly scrubbed down. At Moscow hospital, they've likely been scanned for hot particles and those removed one by one, so being around a patient isn't dangerous to the nearby person. But you want to protect the patient from catching any mundane disease because their immune system is now starting to fail, with the DNA being modified so that repairs on the cellular level don't work. So instead of regrowing damaged skin, they regrow muck that serves no purpose. Granted, I don't know how much of this is misrepresented in the show for dramatic purposes. Of which there appears to be a lot of, possibly due to ignorance and being naive in their research for it.

this is my fav episode

[@bronkomeister]

Youre gonna want tissues handy for the next eps. Its utterly brilliant filmaking, and emotionally devastating,

[@Yevgeniy-UA]

The lady who announced the evacuation was talking about a temporary evacuation, but in reality, those people will never return. Pripyat is now a ghost city and not suitable for living

[@maryhubbard2889]

It looks like a movie, but true life and people wanted to cover it up 😢

[@davepowder4020]

This film was accurate enough, even with storytelling streamlining, to anger Putin and the Kremlin. It was that good.

[@cherylsims5636]

You have gotten better with editing and length of the clips. The next episode will one get worse so be ready to cry. To the Soviet Union the MOST important thing to them was image. To report and accident is just as bad as the incident itself. Thats why no wants to say anything.Ask me any questions you have I will respond.
