That's a really scary thought that 97% of reactor 4's contents are still inside of it. Thus knowing only 3% of the radiation that got out was that severe to cause that historic disaster with all those deaths while still remains the levels of radiation in that area to date all these yrs later.

My mom was in Minsk on a business trip when this happened. They were obviously in the dark and were exposed to the fallout which was plenty in that area. Upon returning to Finland, she spoke to her dr about it who told her that she'd know in 10 years if she would develop health problems related to the radiation. And within that decade she developed a tumor in her thyroid effectively stopping that organ from working anymore. Thankfully it's not a cancerous tumor, has remained the way it is for 20+ years, but ever since she's needed medication just to stay alive.

Radiation sickness is horrific. Getting better and then getting worse is normal (which in itself seems cruel), but I think the worst thing (at least for me) is the fact that you can't do anything about it. Blood transfusion might work if you've only been exposed to a small amount, but it wouldn't help here. In cases like these, medicine such as morphine won't help, either. The body can't absorb it, which means you'll be in constant pain until you pass away. It's really sad to think about it, especially considering Lyudmilla Ignatenko watched her husband die over the span of two weeks. I can't even imagine it.

I would have chosen my baby's health. People knew about radiation by that point, it was the 80's, and they lived in the city established for a nuclear facility. If she was so concerned, she would have asked or said "I'm pregnant, will it be alright for me to comfort my dying husband", even just from a distress & trauma stand point, it wasn't a wise decision. It would have killed me not to be able to be near my husband but my nuturing instincts have always come first for me and my actions. Being a mother is sacred, and not achievable for many women. So if you get such a Blessing, don't destroy it, I'd rather have a part of him living beside me in life than nothing at all and I would have protected that Life as traumatic & heart breaking as it would be.

This story always feel so personal. My mom was pregnant with me when the radioactive rain struck our home town in Northern Sweden and one of my childhood best friends was born on April 11th so she was less than a month old. She died of cancer at 30 almost on the year day of the Chernobyl accident and I can't help but to wonder if the radioactive rain killed my friend because cancer doesn't run in her family. Cancer cases increased by a lot since this incident in the area and it will always have me wonder if I will develop it too one day due to the impact on the soil, ground water, etc. Crazy stuff.

LeAnn Lewis A lot of the animals and insects have been, and are still currently, being studied by scientists and researchers. I highly recommend looking up information about it, because there are actually some very incredible phenomenons occurring in the surrounding wildlife. One example in particular, is the effects of radiation exposure on the spiders in the area. The webs that Chernobyl spiders weave are erratic and distorted, unlike healthy spiders who spin their webs meticulously and in an organized manner. The way Chernobyl spiders spin their webs is very similar to how scientists have observed spiders spinning their webs in experiments where spiders were given drugs. Interestingly, even after so many years of generations of spiders that have since lived and died since the disaster happened, new generations of spiders at Chernobyl are still spinning erratic/abnormal webs. Again, it’s definitely worth checking out, as there are several other anomalies happening with the wildlife and even the surrounding vegetation as a result of the radiation. Many animals and insects are still alive and have continued to produce new generations, even despite the effects that radiation has had on them and their offspring. It’s quite a fascinating subject!

@BhappyD

3 жыл бұрын

Iulia There have actually been many observations as to how the wildlife of Chernobyl have been impacted by the radiation, and there have been many findings of the animals and surrounding wildlife experiencing decreased populations, tumors, physical deformities, and behavioral abnormalities. It’s amazing that the wildlife in the area has been able to continue producing new generations, but the effects of the exposure to radiation are still present and can still be observed through all levels of the ecosystem there, from the plants, to the insects and animals. It’s actually a very interesting topic, and as I mentioned in my other reply before this one, one of the most intriguing is how spiders have been affected, among many other organisms. Yes, these species of animals currently still living in Chernobyl are alive and have survived, though their population is decreased compared to animals in normal ecosystems, and they have miraculously managed to exist in semblance with a typical lifestyle as their non-radiation exposed counterparts; but even still, a multitude of species, as well as their offspring, continue to be affected in various ways, some minor and some more significant, and those abnormalities continue to be passed to each new generation. It is a field of study that scientist are still studying and documenting, and it is an area of study that will likely still be documented for decades to come.

My biological mom was a baby when this happened, and she still lived in the Ukraine. she gave birth and left me there, the doctors, when they discovered where she was from, put me thru so many tests to see if something was wrong with me, my adoptive parents had to wait pretty long to have me in fact and where scared that I would have some sort of problem thanks to the radiations. I was born in 2001 and to this day lots of babies are born in Ukraine with some sort of problems all coming from the disaster, it was truly a tragedy

I think places like these and other "dark tourism" spots attract people because it gives an opportunity to see and, in some way, feel like the people there did. To me, it's also a way to remember the things that happened and to remember the people.

c0v1d was blown out of proportion by the governments in order to control and enslave the people. it is the exact opposite. they made people all over the world wear useless masks, they inject them with suspicious and untested chemicals, they destroyed entire economies, businesses were ruined, people died alone because families were not allowed to visit them on their death bed due to quarantine, etc.and for what? a disease that will kill a tiny percentage of people, mostly over 80 years of age? this was done to enslave people and get us sed to taking orders from the government. they don't want us thinking, let alone telling the government what to do. now you are a slave and they tell you what to do. or, as a wonderful display of orwellian society, they get people to DEMAND more control. there are now brainwashed lunatics who demand more control, more paranoia, total surrender to the will of a government that is destroying our lives, yet claiming to care about us. if they wanted to combat disease, there are dozens of more deadly ones, that more people die from per year. and they did nothing about these diseases. because they don't care. but they do want you to submit. now they can invent new 'crises', new variations of the virus, and endlessly keep you locked in your home, not living a normal human life, as they wreck the economy. then, they will take over total control over society, and you will be their slave.

Wow, really? That’s crazy.. I live in Pennsylvania, my mom was traveling near Three Mile Island when they had their accident in the later 1970s(at least I think it was the 70s).. 15 or so years later, she started having a lot of health problems. Took years to figure out but finally realized it was her Thyroid. She had cancer and that Hashimoto Syndrome. She believed, and I do too, that the problems she had were attributed to being exposed to the radiation that was, back then, shrugged off as a minor accident when it was actually worse than they said. Radiation is hidden more than we’ll ever know

The tourism part creeps me out, they never fixed anything there they just entombed it in concrete and other means of containment because they cant reasonably do anything else due to how dangerous it still is. The danger is still there because you cant get near the actual problem.

...I lived in Ukraine on and off for 3 years...I always studied Chernobyl on and off through the years. While in Ukraine in May 2015 I toured Chernobyl and Prypyat. It was an amazing, yet heart breaking experience. At that time the all day tour cost was about $ 150 and included lunch at the Chernobyl cafe....amazing day. On a subsequent trip to Ukraine I became friends with a guy who was a firefighter called to duty at Chernobyl. He's still alive and fairly healthy....we couldn't communicate well...my Russian is only basic and he did not speak English....

Plant worker: hey um, we think the core is exposed. Dyatlov: nO yoUre iMagIninG tHinGs. He probably regretted that after being in the hospital for six months with radiation poisoning...

Legasov didn't commit suicide, he was silenced because I believe he already knows/discovered too much.

The areas that you are allowed to go to are limited and only for certain amounts of time. The amount of radiation you would encounter in that time is not an issue.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC DOCUMENTARY!!!! Another winner!! 😎😎

I had a client who works with a charity to help the children of chernobyl. The young children come to the UK for medical treatment and nourishment annually. These children have been born many years after the event and have serious sight and calcium deficiencies. The lady also spends time in Belarus with the parents of the children- former inhabitants of chernobyl. Alcoholism and extreme poverty are rife amongst the former workers and many have basically lost the will to live. She said she cries every day for the two weeks she spends there as the situation is so helpless. They do what they can for the adults by trying to improve living conditions by carrying out repairs, providing furnishings and white goods like fridges, supplies of food and medicines . The world seems to think that the evacuees just picked up and carried on elsewhere, sadly, this is far from the case.

Xray tech here. The reason the baby died with no effect to the mother was because the baby was in the earlier stages of development. Since cells are constantly dividing/created at a rapid rate, they're more sensitive to the destructive nature of radiation. The earlier the stage of development, the more negative effects can happen to the baby. Compared to the mother which has mature cells that don't divide as rapidly. Dont get me wrong, no exposure to radiation is safe, but some factors help make the effects more detrimental.

If I remember correctly, there was an Olympic gymnast whose Father went in as part of the crew to cleanup/limit the fall-out from the disaster. Heard that the poor man wasted away from cancer. Poor family! I watched all four of my Grandparents die from cancer and it is a really miserable way to die! Governments in the UK still in want us to believe that none of this is caused by pollution from big incineration plants that go up next to our homes! When my 13 y/o cousin was going through cancer, there were four other people on their street who has cancer too. And in more in the streets around them. They reported their concerns as they lived near to a big chemical production plant, but were told that this was just a sad coincidence; that the plant was not dumping or irresponsibly disposing of the waste products. I still don’t believe that! More and more cases of cancer and neurological disorders are cropping up in the cities and villages around these places all the time, in both of my parent’s home towns.

The story of Lyudmila has been questioned over the years. Many specialists said that a person suffering from radiation poisoning are in fact not dangerous to others since they are not radioactive themselves. Ignatenkov was not wearing any clothing that would have been contaminated since the hospital staff disposed of it in the basement. He was also washed down by the staff, hence removing any radioactive material from his skin.
