How This Lake in Northwest Asia Got Deadlier Than Chernobyl
Central Russia, 1957. Villagers near the Southern Ural mountains were scared. They were terrified. Men claiming to be from the government had appeared out of nowhere ordering people to leave their homes. Without warning, they started burying crops, and slaughtering their livestock. The villagers were in shock and they were confused. What was going on?...

It's impossible to say the people handling plutonium with their bare hands didn't know any better unless they weren't the people making the weapons. There's no way someone involved in designing and making the weapons didn't know handling plutonium was dangerous as they would know the properties of it (like how would they know to use it in a bomb if they didn't know its properties). Sometimes these content creators don't know what they're saying when they write their scripts. It's nuts. They handled that plutonium with their bare hands most likely because they were being cheap and not wanting to buy suits.
Damn, i wish you were my history teacher c': then i wouldn't be as bored and sleepy all the time. Plus these pictures/animations help a lot!!! Please keeping doing lots more and damn your plugs are so smooth like other comments say~

When HBO is done with chernobyl they could do another serie about this.
Judging by the video, I dont think it will happen. Restricted area unlike Chernobyl..
It's not like they'd go to film in this city. Recreate a city in Hollywood like every other movie.
But i agree, having movies/documentaries about nuclear non-chernobyl disasters would be more educating
@@zKaRiisMa the series were filmed in Ignalina (very similar to Chernobyl) decommissioned power plant and soviet-era quarter of Vilnius in Lithuania, and in Ukraine. With the City 40 still being restricted, not likely.
SlovakEmperor tbh this would make a cool “based on a true story” type TV show. Like, keep the basic timeline of events and historical information, but take some creative liberties by following specific families and individuals as they experience the story from different points of view (villagers, soldiers/workers at the facility)
Anyone else jumping from video to video, due to the show Chernobyl from HBO.

everything about russia sucks
That transition into the pitch about the “Brilliant” website was next level!!!
I hopped in and the water was pretty warm. My skin was tingling when I got out though.
Ur screwed

Very interesting video! Nicely done and informative! Never heard about this incident until now.
I already knew about Brilliant! It's a great site! Though I don't have a premium membership yet I'm planning on getting one, I already tried the test courses and it's awesome. It's learning by "playing" it's not just reading and reading etc. you learn through interacting and interesting questions. It's very intuitive.
Your profile picture is magnificent, hello there, I identify you as an intellectual who knows grammar is still important on the Internet like me. Although, I am not an intellectual.
Hello there, glad you like it! It is a portrait of one of my grand-grand-grand-grandfathers after stealing all the wealth and belongings of the normal townsfolk. It really expresses the happiness and fulfillment he felt after all the hard work. (joke)
Thanks though for your compliment! Appreciate it! Have a nice day :)
You left it open freidänker, are you an intellectual or not? Cheers...
I actually didn't leave it open since he didn't ask a question but made an assumption to which I didn't express my disagreement or agreement.
But to answer your question; No, I am not :) I would love to be though but knowing what you'd have to learn that not directly benefits your study (way of career) I don't want to do it. I don't want to learn French for 4-5 years only because I want to be an intellectual on a completely different topic. I guess you could say I'm lazy in this regard. :P
P.S. Are you Swiss or German? (Adrian)
Expecting a mini TV series from HBO on this
They would just try to humanize the soviets again...
Michal Valta umm the show doesn’t humanize them it just shows that not everyone was corrupt
@@michalvalta5231 Well they don't ? But Soviets weren't the devil they were human with skewed morals
Michal Valta or worse, the Americans
Michal Valta
The first episode literally has an old man spitting communist propaganda. Trust me, they are not humanizing the soviets.
"they needed a secret location, hidden from the rest of the world." **easily announces the location** LmAo-
KGB operative to Russian nuclear spy...."What about the chapter on nuclear safety and disposal"? Russian spy "BLYAT"!!!!
I live in Richland Washington and our high school is called “The Richland Bombers”
Tony Valladares Omg I go to Richland highschool
😐
Now that's a cool name
Hmmm I wonder why
I fuckin hate it here. I go to Hanford
Fallout 76 lookin good

I gotta say, your transitions to sponsors is almost as smooth as Oversimplified
Funny enough I'm in one of those houses you see in the video haha.
4:02 (kinda on the left)
Even went to the highschool here where our mascott is a mushroom cloud, we are called the Richland Bombers and we chanted, "Nuke 'em till they glow!"
Was real fun sneaking off into the Nuclear bunker under the school.
Most kids would just go there to smoke pot or have sex tho lol.
Fun fact too;
Hanford is a larger ecological disaster than Chernobyl. Unlike Chernobyl tho, Hanford's town, Richland, was placed 15 miles away from the plant.
9:50 had Hanford's waste spills into the Columbia River been more well known, and if the town was built closer, you'd be talking about Fukishima and Hanford instead of Chernobyl.
70% of the people employed here are a part of the cleanup.
This is a pretty well kept secret that only people who have seen the site know.
Go ahead and try to test the soil at the shoreline of the Hanford site, you'll be met by guards with MP5s and a 50 cal that take your samples and tell you to leave.
my dude i live here too and am going the RHS, go Bombers!
Fuck yeah man!
Nuke em' till they glow my goodsir haha.
Damn... for real?
Naruto Uzumaki do what your heart desires, naruto
Two points: none of the old movie shots were taken in Richland-those are the construction camps set up near the towns of Hanford and White Bluffs, two towns closer to the reactors, that were evacuated before construction began. Richland was repurposed and enlarged to house workers working on “The Project” continuing after initial construction (Hanford and White Bluffs were dismantled after construction ceased).
Second, having grown up in Richland since the 50’s, I have to say I never heard “Nuke ’em ‘til they glow” until the Iran hostage crisis of ‘78-‘80, when some people wanted to go to war over the situation. It was gradually applied more broadly, but wasn’t used early on in the Cold War, AFAIK.
PS: it’s actually closer to 25 mi from Richland to the nearest of the old U/Pu production facilities and the reactors themselves were more like 35 mi away.
I liked the video a lot. I am from the village in southern Urals. My best friend since childhood, who was my neighbor at that time, is from family relocated to our village during Kyshtim disaster. Her grandparents lived in one of those evacuated villages. My mother sais that when these evacuated people were transported to our village, all the evacuated children were brought together and they were dressed in similar scrub type of clothing. There are actually several families in our village originated from those villages near Kyshtim
Fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
I spent my childhood in Pibanshur (Пибаньшур, or Балезино-3). Every week a group of trucks with nuclear missiles entered the town to be disassembled
+Dmitry Tabakerov (Azazeo) very interesting! Since this is such a unique story, you should make a video about your childhood! I think it would be very cool!
Dmitry Tabakerov interesting but shouldn’t you be more careful talking about government secrecy?
this reminds me of both the Aral Sea disaster and Semipaltinsk.
Speaking of “brilliant,” that segue into an ad was a stroke of genius. It was even better than the one in your last video.
*segway*
Rick Man Nice round of applause for advertising?

Krystal Myth, I mean, it’s a job many people have to do. And Kento Bento did it impressively well this time.
