Seeing Sam start to cry because of the loneliness of the babushkas made me so sad. It just proves how much he cares and how much of an impact the babushkas stories had on him and the others, how much their lives and how they live had on them. Considering these guys are usually pretty big jokers I love how heartfelt this video was, they all seemed so genuinely interested and respectful of the town and everyone and everything there. They were so willing to learn and show an interest in the people they met and their personal experiences from the day of the accident and how their lives were affected. It really puts it into perspective just how good we have it. It shows how we need to not take anything for granted and live everyday being grateful for the small things because it can literally be taken away in the blink of an eye. Thank you so much Sam, Colby, and Nate for making such an amazing documentary on the history of Chernobyl.

[@pattywilsonwilson406]

Sam and Colby, I’m a 69 yr. Old grandmother. That video was very good!! You should be very proud of it!! You showed the devastation and yet at the very least, a glimmer of happiness and hope !!! My youngest daughter was born April 9th, 1986. I absolutely remember the fear that I went through as the mother of a newborn baby!! I had a 13 yr. old daughter too that I worried about!! It was a very scary time for the whole entire world, but especially the Ukrainian’s!! Thank you for telling their story with so much compassion and class!! Again, you should be proud of this video!!

[@bratzxrose]

I Agree❤

[@Fleurbunny]

It irritates me that this is amongst your lowest viewed videos. This was a major historical event, that changed the lives of so many, cost the lives of so many, and yet still in actuality, little is generally known about what actually happened. This video is so educational, informative and interesting. Just because there’s no rempods and EVPs, and basically not haunted related, doesn’t make this one of the greatest pieces of content ever made about a historical disaster. I found it incredible, learned so much, and mostly found the people who live and work there truly welcoming and kind people. They lived through this, have to be traumatised, but tell their personal stories openly. Their resilience is remarkable. This should have way more views and way more likes. Guess all the folks want is ‘ghost’ stuff, not a well put together, well edited, and super informational piece of content, that in truth, many people would have been too scared to ever visit - obviously now with the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 it’s not an option, due to the high levels of radiation. Also no, I do not believe until proven otherwise that this visit caused Colby’s cancer - congratulations on beating the beast Colby. They’re clearly very careful and protective of their visitors. Sorry no Shadow Man appeared in reactor 4, that would likely have brought in the few million more views and number of likes you typically get. This deserved it.

[@zamnelna]

It’s sad that this video hasn’t received the attention and likes it deserves. I may have started watching you for your ghost hunting, but this video was absolutely one of your best. You gotta learn from history, so we don’t repeat it.

[@elioiscool]

Same, it’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen on Chernobyl

[@dk-nb6cn]

Agreed. This is the video I rewatch the most out of all of theirs because it's SO well done and incredibly emotional. Like this is genuinely one of, if not their best, video/series. It hits just as hard every time I watch it, and I'm on my fourth or fifth rewatch. Honestly, as much as I love their paranormal stuff, I wish they'd visit more places like this. They seemed to be really in their element learning about people's stories and exploring such a historic place. You can tell this fed their souls creatively and emotionally, more than any of the haunted places have.

[@brittneymcneil5852]

I know I'm a few months late to say this, but maybe this video doesn't have as many likes because they watched the videos beforehand and thought well I don't want to watch them again. Especially so soon after the other ones were put up. This one is convenient cause you can watch all 3 of the other ones in this one video.

Also, anyone else concerned that this guy says “I’ve seen deformed eyes, and more cases of cancers” and then not even a year later Colby discovers he has testicular cancer 🫣 really makes you worried, it seems like people who aren’t around a lot of radiation seem to have a much more drastic reaction to being around a sudden increase in radiation, which is why their trusty guide who has been doing this his whole life is perfectly fine, but someone from an environment with low radiation levels goes to Chernobyl it can mess with them more than the average person.

Gentlemen, as someone who is nearly twice your age I've read and watched a lot of material on the Chernobyl disaster, and your film is one of the most insightful views on what life is like for the people who lived, died, and thrive in the zone that I've ever seen. It also strikes me that perhaps what you thought you went there to see wasn't exactly what you were most fond of once you got there. I've traveled this world quite a bit, and I've learned that kids are kids everywhere, and Grandmothers are certainly Grandmothers no matter where in the world you go. What a blessing for the three of you to have visited them. Looks like it's made you wiser for it. Vladymir continues to be a living testament to those who sacrificed their lives and their well being to save their fellows. Mischa has a very unique perspective of what life was like before and after that few men his age can ever see. Well done, gentlemen. A very powerful film and perspective, especially from folks your age. I enjoyed it.

So many places were destroyed, the city centre, the ports infrastructure, several people died and got injured. We didn't sleep all week, i had to grab my child and cat and run to the parking under our house in the middle of the night.

I’m late to this, but can we just give a big bunch of likes to Mischa (I hope I spelled that correctly)? What an amazing tour guide with the most incredible English language talent. He seems like such an awesome guy to hang out with, kept them all safe, whilst keeping them informed and giving them all the best experience of Pripyat. I’m calling it that as that’s the name of the town that has been taken over by the name of a terrible disaster. Plus, the Babuskas. They were just so kind and giving. Imagine thinking of making french fries as she knew 3 young men from the US were visiting her? All whilst showing off her incredible produce, but what a thoughtful thing to do.

Wow, I was 13 when this happened. Even in Canada there was talk/worry about the effects of the radiation. You know, would it come here, kind of thing. Vladimir and the people of that reactor are hero’s. I still live within 15 kilometres of a nuclear power plant and I also have iodine tablets if there is ever an emergency. Also there is a second plant probably 20-25 kilometres away from this one. On December 8th, 2020 during a routine safety exercise, an employee hit the public alarm. So that all the emergency alarms went off. Our phones and tv stations were broadcasting that the plant was having an emergency. That was terrifying. This video brings me to tears. Thank you for spotlighting all the ones who didn’t get the recognition they deserved.

I read in other comment sections of other KZbin videos about Chernobyl that many people had to leave their pets behind, and that eventually they would be killed as they had absorbed a lot of radiation.

As an x-ray technologist of almost 15 years, I wanted to say what an eye opening video you made. A lot of people don't realize the depth of what happened at the Chernobyl plant and how it affected all of us in one way or another. The discoveries made by the disaster shed light on the dangers of radiation and allowed for greater measures to be taken in radiology protection still evident today. In the scientific sense it allowed for technology to protect patients, radiation workers like myself and the public in a greater way. Thank you for this movie and breaking down what happened in a simple way so more people can understand the gravity of the situation. Keep up the great work guys!

What i got from this was that even if we go through something horrible that's what life is. It's full of twists and turns, its what you do that counts. Sometimes you can't stop what happens, maybe you could have done something, sometimes you can't. Everything you have, your phone, tablet, computer, anything you hold dear could just be gone in an instant if your not careful. When you don't charish the ones you have with you, or the things you have. It could all be stripped away from you in an instant. That's what life is, being with the ones you love and charish. Not material things that you can get back. People and the memory you make, you can never replace. Life is never a straight path, like I said its full of twists and turns, its what you do and say that counts the most, making a memory with the ones you love.

You guys really touched me in this one. I cried, I laughed, then cried again. You certainly do an awesome job with your videos. PLEASE make more like this. The kids now a days need education and need to be taught the way you teach. It would certainly grab the full attention of every student who normally gets bored in class and don't pay attention. Keep doing what you do. I APPRECIATE what you showed me in this video. And I want to thank you. Had I not watched this, I would have never known any of it. And it would most likely not been something that I would have came across and learned about on my own. So again I want to thank you for everything you had to go through and put into the making of this. Imagine, I'm sitting here two days before Thanksgiving and this pops up.

It truly taught me to genuinely live in the moment. because within a snap, everything could be gone. It's truly upsetting to know that within a second, the same thing that happened there could happen anywhere. Not exactly of course, but it still could happen anywhere in the world. its upsetting knowing that something could happen one second and the next, your town becomes a ghost town. it becomes enraged in flames. one second is all it takes for the life you've made for yourself, to flip upside down.
