"World News" report from 1986: A damaged atomic reactor at the Soviet Union's Chernobyl nuclear plant caused a radiation leak. #Chernobyl #NuclearDisaster #Radiation #ABCNews
KC Holden You think our own country never has, does not, and would not lie and prevaricate in the same way with us? That would be naive of you if you truly feel that way. You think we have had the truth about Three Mile Island? Or any other topic our dear government does not think we would understand or need to know about? Governments are in power to be in power. They are not there to take care of the people beyond the extent that it serves the wealthy and privileged to "take care of" us...to maintain their workforce and keep the money coming in...to THEM.

34 years ago, this day, i remember it i was at my grandma, playing outside in back garden with the chickens A policeman entered the garden, knock on the door, spoke few moments with her Shortly after , she start yellign at me "Get inside, get inside now, god get inside" Later in evening, someone from dispensary came and gave us iodine. We took it, my grandma didn't had a tv so we were listening to the radio, i didn't understood much. Then sirens start howling. Time passed, in 2011 my mother got diagnosed with 2 cancers. Colon and uter. In the block of flats where I am living now, every two floors has at least one person who developed some sort of cancer. 34 years ago....i still remember the smell of air.
@@harryblock_3826 yes in eastern europe is such a huge issue atm with cancer, especially thyroid cancer and bone cancer, mostly caused by polution and radiation. Chernobyl had a lot to do with this, as they said, the effects will start to fully present themselves after 25 years or so.
I was gonna run the safety test, but we got high, we were gonna make sure everything was safe, but we got high. Now the nuclear power plant is blowing up and I know why. Because I got high, because I got high. Because I got high.
chernoybl was not the reason the ussr fell there many reasons the ussr falling and chernoybl just added to problem even if it didn't happen the ussr would fall anyway
I feel like a big part nobody talks about is that the officials who tried to hide the truth showed the leaders that the closed system worked both ways. It didn't just hide the truth at the top from those lower down, but hid the truth lower down from those at the top. But the alternative, glastnost, was something the Soviet state so long corrupted by secrecy could not survive.
I was just 6 years old and remembered this day. our neighbor came over and told mom about the news, we kids were outside playing. I remember my moms reaction... she and the neighbor were very calm about it and took us kids in side. I think ppl were feeling hopeless and just left it up to God. Now it's been 37 years and I thank God it didn't affect us in any huge way.
It's possible.....depends if the adults brought it to your attention. My earliest memories are of 5yo but in 1986 I had graduated from high school at age 17. Yes, I saw it live too
As bad as the Chernobyl accident was, it could have been 1000 times worse. After the initial explosion, it was determined that the core could potentially melt through the bottom of the reactor and contact water pooled beneath. They then worked day and night to fill the area under the reactor with cement. Had they not done that, and the core had melted through to the water, a resulting steam explosion could have rendered Europe uninhabitable.
***** it was't gorbachev's fault, anatoly dyatlov was the one man most at fault he kept insisting the reactor was completely fine, even after seeing the gaping hole in the building, and he told the kremlin just that, so they all thought it was fine. he shouldn't be killed for being made ignorant by the actions of others. he should be killed for being a commie though... all commies are scum if you ask me... :/
thefanification Коммунисты - хорошие люди, я жила при коммунизме в стране советов в СССР и мне нравилось там жить, при коммунизме все были добры и счастливы! В том что случилось в Чернобыле виноваты глупые ученые проводившие эксперимент на ядерном реакторе - они отключили все защитные механизмы ядерного реактора.
Ирина Сергеева I disagree with you, I am anti communist, because no one can do it right. but I am a fair man, it WAS the scientists fault, they built a shitty reactor just so they could have one at all. the commies also hid the fact that it was a shit reactor from EVERYONE so very few people knew it was poorly designed. so yes TECHNICALLY the Russians and Ukrainians are ALL at fault, but people like dyatlov mislead those in power, and once things became clear the USSR government managed to efficiently get it taken care of.
thefanification Реактор №4 который взорвался в Чернобыле не был "дерьмовым", это был обычный реактор, в тот день 26.04.1986 украинские ученые проводили эксперимент - они отключили все системы защиты и разогнали реактор до предела из-за этого он и взорвался, видимо вы этого не знаете.
I was 8 when this happened and remember it all. This and the Challenger disaster were some of the first big world news events I remember paying attention to.
I was a college student running around Europe right after this. We really had no idea. I remember being in Berlin and seeing tons of vegetables dumped against the Berlin Wall. It was all deemed unsafe to eat. That was my first inkling that this might actually be really bad. Knowing what we know now, I look back at the moment and I'm just terrified.
I worked as a salesman and was in Kiev when it happened, there were no warnings whatsoever, luckily i had to leave the next day...before the radiation cloud turned around...Only to find out several weeks after what really happened....
@@theraber7780 Actually this ... almost makes it more credible! The only people I know who use ... too much are boomers 😄 It lends their messages a sense of tragedy and seriousness ... like they're thinking of all they have lost ... even when its just ... a grocery list ...
@@eriklakeland3857 They weren't that much larger, the Soviet Union had 275 million people in 1986, the United States 240 million, and the Soviet economy had a GDP of $2.5 trillion vs $4.9 trillion in the US. I think likely the reason is that many of their reactors, especially earlier ones, were fairly low power - 14 of the ones operating in 1986 were less then 700MW (13 were less than 500MW). The RBMK reactors were extremely powerful, in excess of 1GW, but there were only 16 of them operating, the newer VVER designs were also huge, but were only just starting to come online. That, combined with likely incomplete information on the full scope of the Soviet energy industry due to the classified nature of a lot of that, filled in with educated speculation by experts. Incidentally, US electricity was 15.5% from nuclear power in the mid 1980s, with the US having about 63 reactors operating at the time.
@@traydevon The absolute irony of this statement. A "false sense of hope and control" is exactly what caused Chernobyl in the first place. It is not just an American way or any one people's way. That is human nature, right there. Let's not fool ourselves.
cant believe it was that long ago.... it was a terrible accident and I feel the high rise in cancers today in Europe are linked to that incident .this radiation leak effected people animals water crops etc.. I could be wrong of course.. great video..
the higher rates of cancer ARE due to Chernobyl actually with the zone most of the worst landed there, but after that the worst of it fell over most of Europe, Ukraine and Belarus getting the worst.
Ирина Сергеева david does make a good point in my mind though. chelyabnsk and a few other areas are so contaminated they won't be hospitable for centuries.
Ирина Сергеева small leaks I believe, its been a while since I read up on it Chelyabinsk is just as bad as Chernobyl, but Chernobyl happened instantly, Chelyabinsk happened over time.
Yess, indeed! I always say: "if there is danger, don't go there". Man has always been playing with dangerous stuff, this is the answer to it. All these countries wants to feel and be big as a nation, to proof how they are, but it can be very deadly.
I've been way too obsessed with Chernobyl since 2012; to the point where I've spent money on it and gotten National Geographic issues including an article about Chernobyl from October 1986. This video is interesting because it shows the way that the world was kept in the dark about what happened for months afterwards (until Slavsky and Legasov told the world what they knew in a press conference in Ukraine, not without consequences) and the worlds inability to trust what they had been told.
This was a terrible nuclear catastrophe I don’t think we know even now the full impact. The explosion was so serious that it blew off the reactor’s lid & the so called bio shield which was only a concrete slab was flipped on its side causing nuclear fuel to seep under the reactor. Very bad indeed.
Although to a foreign ear, it does have some hint of American propaganda. (There is a tone to it, not too obvious, but yeah) But well, it was the 1980s.
I can actually explain that! It really bothered me before, why there was such a difference in news. It's because news shifted to 24/7, so they needed something to talk about that long. Enter opinions, propaganda, guest speakers, etc.
Last few seconds of the video says everything about Russia -" in 1957, 100s of people died in soviet nuclear explosion which they denied, so if soviets r accepting there was an accident, it must a big one" and ever since Chernobyl is pop history, it was beginning of the USSR end
Except it wasn't a "nuclear explosion", and nobody died because of that radiation waste leakage. But yeah, a lot of people get moved from their houses that was in contaminated areas.
I met the guy who was first to find out about the matter in the US. He told me a US spy plane was taking pictures over the area and he spotted smoke on one of the pictures, when he zoomed in he had found out what happened.
Sorry man I just couldn't help it. I just wish I could go on a exploration to their is all. The way the place looks it's just so gloomy and has a hypnotic vibe to it.
wouldnt this cause cancer 29 years later in eastern europe? All the 30+ year old people, smoking/nonsmoking there's just huge amount of deaths to cancer.
There were documentaries done about it, one called "Chernobyl Heart" that had to do with the "fallout," so to speak, of the disaster. The effects were mostly felt in, of all places, Belarus. You can find it on TH-cam.
The most chilling thing were the reports of injuries from a nuclear accident. Just as people were wondering how that could even happen the first pictures of the destroyed reactor building came out and the world gasped a collective “holy fu**”.
