My reaction to Season 1 Episode 2 of Chernobyl. While just as tragic, I can at least say I felt significantly less frustrated watching this episode. Boris initially appeared like he was gonna be yet another person in denial standing in Legasov's way, but it was good to see him becoming open to the truth as the episode progressed. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

If you enjoy my reactions, you can binge my reactions to the entire miniseries straight away over on www.Patreon.com/Robinoyo! All episodes up to 5 are already available there right now. Thanks for watching :)
Can't do Patreon (UK guy here) but looking forward to the rest of the episodes.
Yes it was this much as risk most of europe got affected by the radiation even though the damage was severely decreased. infact around 200k emergency workers got diagnosed with cancer
The thing with the glasses at the bar at around 17:19 was because the first glass the bartender had reached for had been sitting right side up, which meant that it had collected at least some radioactive particles inside it, so Legasov asked for a glass that had been sitting upside down and was therefore "safe" to drink from.
Safe-r... at least.
One thing I want to say about radiation sickness before hand, unlike in the series, you won't get burns by touching something
, you just enter somewhere radioactive, get dizzy, vomit and get unconscious, by the time you wake up there will be burns all over.
But i like the way they potray in this series, because it gives you idea from where they were poisoned.
Radiation is really the silent killer, no smell, no major feeling or tingling, just a bit of metallic taste, a second long exposure and you are sure to die within week.
Scary.
Sorry for medical elitism.
Yes, I think it was a good call to make effects of radiation visible in the way they did, it’s a good storytelling even if unrealistic.
From my understanding those are supposed to be beta burns caused by beta radiation as the beta particles do not travel too deeply into the body. You absolutely will get burns in contact with that much radiation. Burns can even be caused by high exposure to x-rays during diagnostic medical imaging. The higher the exposure the faster these burns would set in, and honestly I can't think of a better example of a high enough exposure to cause them than an open nuclear reactor. The clothes were so contaminated that it is highly likely burns would set in shortly after handling them. However the speed in the show is rather fast, the people directly exposed would have them appear faster but the hospital staff would have likely taken at least a few hours. These clothes are still dangerously radioactive to this day so to say you won't burn from handling them is not true, but the timeframe is rather fast, however we don't know the exact level of contamination right when they got back from the site. The clothes would still be covered in dust and dirt from the reactor itself so it is safe to say that the level while still dangerous today would be WAY worse the day of the disaster.
@@swhaw exactly
And the metallic taste is from tiny capillaries in your throat lungs rupturing. You blood is rich in iron, so that is the metallic taste
Only couple of men died on the spot. With others NPP workers/firefighters/security dies within 3-4 months from ARS and one person died a year later. Them are 31 together, direct casualties of NPP reactor explosion.
It's impossible to calculate how many was affected and/or died indirectly.
If we go conservative and only count deaths from cancer/complications that can be directly linked to the event, it would probably be a 4 digit number.
If we'll count all the affected ever so slightly if would probably be an 8 digit number.
And it could've gone WAY more serious as you've discovered from the series.
There are also very indirect deaths and consequences. Like me, being a Chornobyl liquidator's son, almost not being born, because my parents was persuaded by doctors to abort me (so I would not be a liability with health issues or even a deformed mutant). While I do have some issues, I'm so lucky they've had me. Because many many others actually made abortions (in vane in most cases, despite there are actual health risks). Stuff like that.
Man, really appreciate the comment Demetrio! Very interesting to hear your perspective as someone who has parents with first hand experience. Hope all is well with you and your family!
@@RobinoyoReacts thank you. Father was there for a month, got 20 Roentgen (maximum permitted dosage for a man at that time) and was let go
In the aftermath of the explosion, doctors were forbidden to list the cause of death as ARS.
The people evacuating were told they would be gone for 3-5 days. Here we are 35+ years later
This is a good series. It is basically historically accurate with of course some movie makers license. The nuclear power industry was considered a state secret, that's why no one knows how a power plant works and the dangers associated with it and their initial objective was to keep things quiet. Once they realized it wasn't possible then they began to work on it like it should be. Do you know that
You would not be here right now , living in Netherlands if they did not get this thing shut down like they did, thats how serious this event was? Your reactions are good and your hitting the more important scenes with character interactions
This is what i think makes a good reaction video
Well keep making them and Ill keep watching.
Watched the helicopter drops and that chopper crashing on the news. We knew all the firefighters and helo pilots were sacrificing themselves. Even here in the states (Michigan) we were detecting trace amounts of radiation...
Concerning the three volunteer divers. Despite the incredible risk to themselves, the reality is a bit less dramatic, though no less heroic.
The basement had already been partially pumped so the water was around knee level for most of their trip underground. The real problem was finding the actual valves to the underground pools in pitch dark hallways line with dozens of other valves, pumps and levers. Through sheer luck or or very meticulous work, they successfully found the valves and drained the underground pools. None of the workers succumbed weeks later to radioactivity related illnesses and as of 2015, two of them were still reported to be working in the country (though as of today its now uncertain because of the war). Only one of the three divers died in 2005 of a heart attack. These volunteers are heroes.
17:42 - they are actually KGB people, spying on him.
11:49 Well, he... sort of... tries, but his attitude will definitely change towards Prof. Legasov...
interesting fact: Those Firefighter uniforms? Are still there, in the same Abandoned Hospital
Spoiler you dumd fuck.
And that basement is still one of the most dangerous places on earth
The glass he chose was upside down thus didn’t have radioactive dust in it. Legosov is always on point.
Kellan Skarsgaard beautifully showed the instant change in Boris when he realized his life was going to be significantly shortened because of Chernobyl. This episode was my favorite because it became increasingly crystal clear how fucked they were.
That scene with the helicopter just disassembling mid air gave me chills. So brutal.
It hit a cable on a crane. Watch closely. Also that's what actually happened too, it hit a cable and the rotor disintegrated.
Thanks good reason 😊
Radiation can cause electronics to malfunction. I dont know the specific details, but with high enough radiation it can destroy pretty much any electrical equipment. Which is why the helicopter crashed and why their lights stopped working.
the helicopter crashed because its rotors clipped the cable for a crane. Both in real life and in the show (the helicopter crash happened, but several days later in real life).
That's not why the helicopter crashed, the smoke obscured the pilots view and they didn't see the crane cable in time, this happened in the real incident as well, but as others have said, several days later
You should research things before commenting next time, you are 100% wrong
I think I'd like to tour Chernobyl. And yes you can
Not now you can't
I'm with you. I hated History in HS. I wrote love letters to my now husband. Now I love love history and anything old. Sight, touch, thought. Great reaction to an epic show. Btw, I been married for 39 years and I'm 56
There's real footage of some of the scenes - for instance, the scene where one of the helicopters drops is actually real, you can see it here on TH-cam ("Chernobyl. Helicopter crashes." by David Rabinovitch)
While you're at it, check out the comparison of the scenes and real footage when you finish the show.
Overall, the show is pretty accurate. There are some creative liberties taken, for example, the woman that gives iodine pills is a collective image, she's sort of different people from different places. But Legasov and Dyatlov are a real people, as is Gorbachev.
That helicopter crash scene used in this was not real footage but was a nearly fram by frame copy. The cranes used and the angle are completely different from the actual footage
@@tawogtrailers Yes, of course, I don't know why I said it was real footage - it was either in response to something Robin has said in the reaction, or because English is not my native language and I simply mixed up the words.
It should be apparent if you just watch the comparison that I mentioned.
In this episode, there were a few things the makers of the show got wrong. For one thing, the character who said that they should close off the city in the first episode and is evacuated in this one, did not exist...he was added for dramatic purposes. Also, the helicopter crash did not happen so soon after the explosion...it really happened months later in October, 1986, and had nothing to do with radiation. As I mentioned in my comment to episode 1, once you are done with the series, the History vs Hollywood article on the show is a must read. ✌💯
I'm not going to comment on accuracy until the end--but since you bring it up, the helicopter hit the crane you see disappearing into the cloud. I'm not in favor of that article--it's a hack job denigrating a mostly accurate series for it's accuracy.
@@leathewolf It is the best short article out there that covers the important points they got wrong, and does it in a way that non-scientific folks can understand. For people who do not want to read technical jargon, and who do not have the time to listen to all the podcasts, there is no other article that is as short and to the point...and there is nothing important in the History vs Hollywood article that is factually wrong that I am aware of.
