Inside Chernobyl's Empty Hospital (surreal experience)

[@IndigoTraveller]

☢️ Great to be back with a new series, as mentioned, this is my second time in Chernobyl. My last visit here in 2018 was an incredible experience so decided to come back and go deeper and experience more of this dark but fascinating place. I hope you will enjoy this series and I am looking forward to sharing more of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone with you in coming videos. Let me know your feedback below and if you want to see the photos I got in Chernobyl (I took many) then check out my instagram here: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ Thank you for watching!

Hey! How is it that the guide allows you to enter any building you desire, considering it's illegal to do so and could void his license? Is there a special media pass or something that you were issued that withdraws these rules?

I briefly worked with a woman who lived in Chernobyl and was a child when the incident occurred. She and many other children who lived there had to have their thyroids removed later on in life as a precaution from cancer. She went on to become a doctor and immigrated to Canada. I'm glad to see Igor again since Exploring with Josh went there. If I ever go to Chernobyl one day, which is on my top ten destinations list, I wouldn't want anyone else but him as my guide. Thanks for the awesome video. I appreciate how you're laying out the editing and content. It's different from how other KZbinrs have covered Chernobyl.

I love that you added more historical footage in this series compared to the previous one, gives it a much deeper sense. By the way, just recently in the news it was revealed that the current situation in the reactor is more serious than thought, threatening of a new disaster. They still need to go inside to do more serious treatment to mitigate the risks.

A usual high point of your videos is your interaction with the people. In this video you interact with the displaced, the missing, and the dead. Quite a macabre difference.

[@IndigoTraveller]

Yeah, quite the opposite.

[@argieStream]

I went there in 2013 just before the war started and did the guided tour. Since then there has been numerous youtubers filming the same main "attractions" that everyone likes to see. It gets a little repetitive. I'm sure there's a million interesting places left to explore there if the guide is willing/able to deviate from the regular program. So far this series looks promising as the first episode provides a more in depth look into some of the places than documented before.

The interior of the buildings, schools, hotels with all its foto's amd everything on the wall was so stunning hot to see. Nice video you did of the place with a big history in Ukraine. I love it.

Can you get Igor to explain what he thinks or what the Ukrainian government's long term plan is with the region? Are they going to just leave the region abandoned as or will they plan on urbanizing it? if so, how long will they need to wait for the reactor dome to be lifted, or could they develop around it?

To be fair, any city would look like this if abandoned for 35 years. There's nothing special about any of the facilities except for the radiation debris from the clothes in the hospital basement. High radiation levels can't be seen, only on the radiation detectors. This was just a nice Soviet city that is in ruins. Anywhere else it would have all been torn down. I've heard a lot of these places have been looted or rearranged extensively to make good photos over the years.

[@josephp5058]

Jeez Nick, terrifying enough and the guy showing you round named "Igor" seriously, what a total tragedy, I saw the Chernobyl series, the horror of it all was shocking, I think your doing an excellent job putting this appalling circumstance back in peoples minds.

Your obviously a brave young man, keep up the good work - true journalism

Thank you Joseph, appreciate that. I hope you are recovering and are in reasonable health now.
