Inside RADIOACTIVE Basement Prypjat Hospital CHERNOBYL Firefighter Clothes

- In the basement of the hospital No. 126 in Prypjat there is still the original firefighter's outfit, which were the outfits of the first firefighters to be called in at that time.
As a result, the clothing is extremely contaminated.
Even today, the radiation is still up to 100,000 times higher than normal background radiation.
If that machine could speak, it would be saying "get the fcuk out of here!"
It stopped speaking and decided to scream a long time ago.
OnTourWithGerrit Aye, I don't blame it! Good God, man! The only way you'd get me down those stairs would be wearing 3 CBRN suits on top of each other and 25 pairs of lead gloves! But then again, I'd love to see it with my own eyes, so thank you for doing this. But please be careful, cos I'm getting radiation sickness just from watching!
@@katyb6979 thank you very much.
I have been many many times to the zone but just twice to the basement. For me this is a very special place.
I am a firefighter as well...so I get very emotional being there. You may can hear me breathing hard down there...and that without 25 pairs of lead gloves ;)
OnTourWithGerrit So that was kind of like your Russian cousins that had been involved? Aye, I can't start to imagine that people actually wore those clothes, and what they went through. Heartbreaking 😢
@@katyb6979 It's not that dangerous anymore. You can't get acute radiation sickness from going there anymore. Not even beta burns.
I feel contaminated by radiation just watching this video
Relax, my friend, you already have some radioactive contamination on you.
R.Parker nigga that’s true
Literally as you hold your phone or stand next to your microwave smelling the popcorn cook.
Lol..
@@user-bz7qg5xw6h phones and microwaves dont emit ionising radiation. You get more radiation from eating a banana, than holding your phone.
@@user-bz7qg5xw6h that's not true all objects emit really low ionizing radiation it the same if it is you're phone ,bed , house , grass even you emit ionizing that amount of radiation is call background radation and its more or less 0.2 mirco sieverts per hour. the phone and microwave emit other types of radiowaves and the microwave is shielded so none or at least non important amounts get out of it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a Geiger counter going haywire is the scariest sound on Earth
hemmingwayfan because it’s telling you to get the fuck out
That's not a geiger counter
That's the point.
You should hear my 2 month old daughter's belly before she blows her diaper up if you want a scary sound
it is, if at all, the second scariest sound on Earth...
Hearing an air-raid-siren in real life and realizing that it is not a training routine-alarm... that is by far the scariest sound.
3.6 roentgen.. Not too great not too terrible
I want to laugh at your comment, but it's actually sad.
It's not 3 Roentgen.....it's 15. Thousand.
@@Ineedahandle75 fuck. Beat me to it.

* Scherbina smashes the phone *
I can’t even imagine the levels of radiation those firemen encountered. Absolutely extraordinary. Much respect and may they Rest In Peace.
Lord uRN , the levels back 4/26/1986 closer to melted reactor #4 and fragments of its active zone were up to 100 sV and higher. Some firemen and some of guys from nuclear station personnel took doses of hundreds and even thousands rems (!) and died in weeks.. That was the most insane nuclear disaster and a f..king trademark of soviet union.
The firefighters who went up in the reactor and on the roofs, received lethal dose of radiation in minutes. The workers who went in and looked into the core directly they also received lethat dosage in minutes.
@@Cortesevasive i think he meant travesty. Or like trademark...when you think of soviet union, Chernobyl accident is usually the first thing people think of
conmadben Any one near the building when the incident happened right after near the reactor building and after trying to deal with it were mostly hospitalized and died from the horrible amount of radiation. Most disgusting way to die tbh.
@@katefarrington3283 Yeah people demonize soviet union constantly , what a hypocrites .
The fact he's not wearing gloves is actually giving me goosebumps
Why isn't your comment at the top? Like seriously, high levels of radiation is clearly still there. Why not protect yourself at all costs

@@zurkturk13 unlikely. Radioactive iodine has a half-life of about 8 days so it's long gone now. The remaining radioactivity is mostly from cesium with a half life of about 30 years.

I kept waiting for something horrifying to jump out every time he moved his camera back to the hallway into the dark. 😱
For like the past month I kept watching creepy videos and now I feel like I’m more scared of this one than I really should be.
No its not. Without the radiation, it would be just a normal city with people living there.
I don't think so, if there weren't radiation, it would became a place for spiders, we don't want spiders
sorry my bad england
Everything is creepy and soulless in the Soviet Union.

Tagger12496 i know its a joke but you can’t. There are a few checkpoints where they check your radiation level.
snazzy sailor This guy would break the machines anyways
Actually Ukrainian military keep watching if any polluted stuff couldn’t left the zone. If you were taking the toor and your boots would show signs of pollution - you’d have to give up those boots

Imagine the poor nurses and medical personnel who realized the radiation risk but decided to drag it there themselves with their bare hands....
They were probably military personnel who were told they had to
They all died on 3rd day
You can see discarded rubber gloves at 3:47. But it didn't do much.
@@pooja_shankar no they didn't.
They probably mostly didn't comprehend the risk.
How much radioactivity do you want ?

Chernobyl is a wildlife preservation. The animals are thriving. Radiation is not as bad as the government says.
Radioactivity: how much cancer do you want
Explorer : yes
@@slow-mo_moonbuggy Radiation gives you a risk of cancer and other complications over a long period of time. It can take humans 20, 40 or more years to suffer from radiation induced cancer. Most animals within the zone do not live this long anyway, so they often don't get chance to develop fatal cancers. Many animals within the zone still do suffer health or developmental issues as a result of their exposure however.
Me: And what about gloves?
Author: What gloves?
You don't need gloves if you don't touch anything. But you can touch something accidentally so it is unsafe.

Very sad isn’t I mean the pain these men went through would have been excruciating and for the nurses and doctors having to witness the pain their patients were in would have been so horrible I’m just hoping these young lads found their peace somewhere in the heavenly plane :(
Or ANY of those firefighters.
Oh they definitely did. All of their clothing and gear was removed and dumped into the basement by nurses and hospital staff. And there it will remain for all time.

We have similar abandoned Soviet-style settlements here in Hungary, and one is near Szentkirályszabadja. I went down to one of the basements there, though I wasn't alone, it was still creepy as fuck, even when there was nothing special there, just rubbish.

Amazing to think that after 35 years, the firefighters boot at 2:45 is giving off the same radiation constantly as a head CT scan!
That machine sounds like a pretty good indicator to gtfo of there. I've done a lot of research on Chernobyl for college essays. Its incredibly sad, but also highly fascinating.
It is. The amount of mistakes and cover ups is what makes this so appealing to me. Sad day indeed.

It is enough to protect him and his clothes from radioactive dust, and thats the point.

Junkiemann you are lost. Any exposed skin is a problem. Dust particles or not. that suit won’t help for ANYTHING.
Connor Tallis lol you think radiation is gonna penetrate exposed skin or something? Alpha particles are stopped by a couple inches of air or by a sheet of paper. Beta particles are stopped by tin foil.

well when was in college me and 5 other people rent a house for a year. i skipped the day they had house inspection, they all had their rooms decided, which were not great nor terrible but they gave me the basement room, which look like this outside the room, luckily without radiation but with bugs. now i am fearless.
Over 30 years later, those boots at 2.50 are still throwing out a thousandth of a potentially fatal dose (.004 Sv p/h vs 50% lethal dose of 4 Sv, bearing in mind this would have to be a 'whole body dose' which you're not going to get from the sole of a boot). However, many of the major isotopes released by the accident have half-lifes measured in hours and days (like iodine 131 and 133, cerium 141 and 144, neptunium 239) and these would have decayed to almost nothing by the time this video was taken. So what this buzzbox is measuring is mostly the long-lived isotopes (like plutonium 238 - 242). My point is that I hate to think how radioactive the clothing was on the morning after the accident if it's still this hot in 2017.
good take. those poor people had no idea what they were walking into
thats freaky
So one of those is the ACTUAL uniform the heroic Vasily Ignatenko wore? This is kinda haunting to watch.
Yeah. Poor Vasily
@post39 You're dumb, there was a mass amount of miscommunication following the explosion. As a nuclear reactor doesn't just blow up randomly like Chernobyl, that's what makes it a real tragedy.
@post39 you realise that our knowledge back then was still relatively new about Nuclear Reactors? Especially for these fire fighters who had possibly 0 knowledge on how to deal with a NUCLEAR REACTOR BLOWING UP since it never happened before and ESPECIALLY for ANYONE to know what to do since it's never happened.
@post39 At the time of the explosion, even some of the operators at the plant couldn't believe that the reactor had exploded. As said before, there was extreme miscommunication between the plant workers and the government about the accident.
@post39 116 year ago some morons though they could fly. Everyone else was laughing and pointing fingers at them.
Times change. Now we are more informed about "common" knowledge. Like nuclear reactors and radiation.

Its not even that contaminated people get higher doses working in nuclear plants evwryday.
@@Ed_Row_Feez One year dose limit for US radiaton workers is 50 mSV. Geiger counter in the video reads 2 mSV/hour.
Lets just say that those radiation levels are not nearly as high to cause really immediate danger (unless perhaps if you breathed in some of that dirt/dust from those clothes, that why its wise to wear somekind of mask there), but even if you were to put those clothes on, you would have to keep close contact with those clothes for days, maybe weeks before you would really get into the kind of doses that would increase your risk of getting cancer.
Watched a few of Chernobyl videos now, I’ve come to the conclusion alarms mean nothing to these people!
"Well I dont feel anything yet so lets keep going" 😂😂
The whole atmosphere of this place is legit terrifying.
Depends, regarding this basement i totally agree with you.
@@OnTourWithGerrit Oh yes. Definitely referring to the basement and the history behind those walls. You sir are very brave. Thank you for sharing this with the world :)
Being in there for 10 minutes means he absorbed ~ 66 uSv (400uSv/h ÷ 60 = 6.6uSv/m *10 = 66 uSv ), that is about the same level of radiation you would get from an intercontinental flight (of about 4000km). 66 uSv it is still an approximation, because you have to take into account that he wasn't exposed to a full body dose, so the absorbed radiation might have been even lower. So it was not harmful for him to be in there for a brief period of time, even without wearing protective gear

All firefighters are heroes, they often risk their lives to save you or at the very least are prepared to do so. These firefighters were just betrayed by their government by sending them in to do a task they could never accomplish while never knowing the dangers.

Indeed, April 26 is not a mourning day across the country. And the actions of firefighters are not an example of self-sacrifice and courage. And not every city has monuments to the victims of the Chernobyl accident. About the accident is not told in schools, and do not teach what to do during chemical or radiation contamination.

The scary thing is his Gamma scout is already maxing out at over 1 MsV so when he's getting the 3+ mSV reading on the boot, it's actually way way higher, a photo of a Terra P dosimeter on that same boot is reading over 845 mSV, so a fatal dose in a few hours. That's 30 something years on and several half lives for some of the radionuclides involved.

chillpill Nothing would really happen...It’s all about the time you get exposed to the radiation, if he had fallen he would’ve gotten out of the place immediately and gotten less radiation than he actually did in total, because he continued exploring.
@@raidzor5452 Yeah well true he wouldn't have done it if it was really lethal. Nonetheless, it's radioactive I would sh*t my pants if I fell into a pile of clothing, all that belonged to the firemen who died from it.

@@raidzor5452 You're not supposed to touch anything in Chernobyl since it was exposed to radiation, yet go into the buildings either. They had to bury the people who died in zink and concrete because the bodies were still radioactive. Everything they touched in that hospital is still dangerous so it takes a lot of courage to walk into one and get as close as he did to the clothing or belongings.

Maybe this bag is from this guy's feet, or someone else used it as a Shoe , too. th-cam.com/video/CRXUCz8763k/w-d-xo.html
The plastic doesn't decompose like other substances. Also the place is away from sunlight and probably air movements. There are probably no insects due to high radiation. So the plastic will stay fresh.
Although it might have been discarded by someone who visited the place before him. In any case that bag will look like that for a very long time.
@@PallaviSingh-ot2mf This bag is from "Eco Market" (ironic) which was established at 2009, only ten years ago. I agree, since there's no wind, sun, or life to disturb it, it will look the same for a long time, but after time plastic bags settle down becoming flat as their tiny weight pushes the air from under them. Also the building is slowly deteriorating and collapsing, covering everything in dust, but the bag is surprisingly clean. I'd say it's no more than three years old.

Wrong Turn
To think all those clothes were worn by Powerplant workers and the firemen and then just thrown into those rooms immediately by the nurses where they’ve stayed in the exact place they landed in for over 30 years
Imagine the nurses carrying the clothes there with their bare hands as back then medical gloves weren't used as widespread as today.

Incredibly horrific. I can’t imagine going into that hospital building. Being in that city. Working in that power plant even years later. Knowing what happened there....
You are crazy! Thanks for the video! :)
Rip man with camera
Naah, he's ok. He just had 50 X-rays or so.
After 30 years, those clothes are still with so high level radiation. Still wonder how high level radiation inside that nuclear reactor no.4
Needless to say inside the ruined reactor the levels are still so high that you would even with protective clothing get deadly exposure in matter of minutes, depending on the location.....in some parts of reactor 4 and the basement you could possibly be even around 15-30 minutes, but in some places like right next to "Elephants foot" and other molten radioactive fuel mixed with sand and concrete you would get deadly amount of radiation in matter of less than 5 minutes these days....right after and days/weeks following the the accident we were talking about much less of time for deadly exposure ofc.
But again all of this depends entirely on the location....radiation levels can vary so signficantly and suddenly in there, just like they would in the surronding area where the fallout would land. Thats the really scary part that just 1-2 meters and the difference between radiation levels could jump from "mildy dangerous" to absolutely lethal.
There were people who went into the actual reactor no.4 and the surrounding structure not too many yrs following the accident! Most are still w/us.
Directly in the room with the ruined reactor vessel after the explosion when the firemen were there, it was around 500 Sv/h and you would get a fatal dose within a minute. I don't know how much lower it was outside where they were putting out the fire but it couldn't have been less than somewhere in the lower tens of sieverts an hour.
I saw video where they got into reactor n.4 control room

@@XxthetanklordxX It is usually pretty safe in the zone. That doesn't necessarily mean it is that safe in that basement. Background radiation during a flight is roughly 3 microsievert per hour while here there are 4000.
@@haraldhimmel5687 you're misreading the scale in the video. An airplane flight from L.A. to NYC is roughly 400microsivierts. When he's not pressing the dosimeter against the bottom of a shoe (which still produces 300 microsv. Per hour as seen in the halfway point of the video), the background radiation is much lower.
Freaky Cheeky the background radiation in the basement was 400 micro sieverts an hour. Pressing it against the clothes it was over 3,000 micro sieverts an hour.
Thank you to everyone involved in containing this disaster,this could have been horrendous, heroes isn't a strong enough word for them r.i.p
in the worst case that could've been the end of europe
Poor sods. Long after the hospital eventually collapses, the invisible killer will stalk the site. Man opened the atom; released a Pandora's Box.
Sue Newman the radiation is very low there, the only thing that will be never accesable again is the center of reactor 4.
Ich bin der erste Deutsche Kommentar in einem deutschen video
auf der heide blüht ein kleines blümelein und das heißt erika
I appreciate that there are people willing to do this.
People come inside one the most radioactive places on earth... Without gloves
Radiation: Am I a joke to you
You don't need gloves
And nurses without gloves bring this down.
Some one watches hbo
Gloves wouldn’t have helped anyway
Good point , a nurse would have to have undressed them and place the clothing in the basement . Pretty much those Firefighters would have been a walking contaminant !!! . Scary when you think about it .
Du hast das Video gut gemacht würde ich sagen 👍
brave to go in there, thanks for the video. very interesting. I hope you stay healthy
Bro where is your damn face/eye protection?
And gloves...
Clothes do fuckall to stop gamma radiation you know that?
The protection he wears is to prevent breathing dust and dust clinging to him.
He is immune to the *flare*
He's Russian, he doesn't need protection, the radiation needs protection from Russians
@@syedaltamish2338 munie
If you guys are interested in this stuff. The show Chernobyl on HBO GO depicts all this stuff extremely accurately. It’s an awesome show!
Most of us are here because of that show haha :)))))
I watched the first episode and it kind of shook me a little, mostly on how completely "safe" they said everyone was. That part was just unbelievable to me. Also the accents kind of threw me, it sounded more English than Russian or were the workers there English not Russian? Just curious.
me_for_president The actors are using their own accents. The director wanted them to focus on acting instead of on putting on an accent.
perfect clothes to gift to my upstairs neighbor..
Serh gute dokumentation mutig..bravo
I hear the the beeping and only think the clothing was on somebody who died horribly
And you probably couldn't be more right.
Heartbreaking we can't even imagine what those people went through.
Que increíble! Y ya han pasado 32 años... imagínate al momento de la exposición! DIOS!
Hab ein englisches Video erwartet, war ne Überraschung als es dann Deutsch war haha
Danke für den Einblick ^^
That Shoe Must Have Stepped in Some Graphite
But.. but... there is no graphite on the floor!!!
you didn't fucking see graphite!! YOU DIDN'T!!!
You didnt see any graphite , BECAUSE THERE FUCKING WASNT ANY
or some highly radioactive shit !!!
RBMK REACTORS DONT EXPLODE ITS IMPOSSIBLE
A brief explanation summary for these quantities of radiation would be very informative while watching this video.
It literally does that as the counter clicks faster and faster. It literally prints on screen "exceeding alarm threshold"
Your complaint is akin to saying that no one explains why oral thermometers don't go past a certain temp.
@fyec A 4 Sievert dose gives you a 50-50 chance of dying of radiation poisoning in a month. Sit in a 500-600 mSv hotspot(5:47) for a couple hours and you'll likely halve your life expectancy,even if you receive immediate medical aid.Sit in it for 5-6 hours and chances are you'll be dead by the end of the month...ingest some of the radioactive dust and you can cut it down to a couple weeks or less.
Edit : nevermind,at 5:47 it was reading microSv (thousandth of a thousandth part of a Sievert).You'd still be increasing your chances of getting cancer,but it wouldn't be nowhere near as deadly as I previously stated.
Your right. We need roentgen to understand
Very high dose rate, Very low dose absorbed. He didn't spend a Lot of time there. Let's suppose It was 1msv/h (It wasn't, not Full body) and he stayed for 1 hour. He would have received 1msv. A CT Scan can give you 6-20 msv, you won't get sick
@Sally I'm not afraid of dying i might just put the entire uniform on wait until dark then cross the prypiat river and get out of there
Nicht schlecht jungs, es wurde ein ausschnitt von euerm video in der letzten chernobyl folge gezeigt👌🏻
I get goosebumps every single time when I see a picture or a video of Chernobyl. Think about that firefighter who was wearing that shoe, about that nurse who put that blood bucket in that room, about their wives and children, people are running over and there. Please god don't do this to anyone anymore.
living un-mutated cells are overrated anyway
Those poor firefighters all died horribly.
Absolutely most terrifying thing i can possibly imagine. People were melting. Literally melting from the radiation on them and the nurses some of them knew the danger and still tried their best. My heart to those that had to experience this tragedy. 💔 i think about you often
Very nice video, I like that you're showing us the geiger at all times. Good job.
