300,000 LIKES if you want us to visit the only other NUCLEAR disaster town in the world!!! Hope you guys are ready for Part two on Wednesday where we go INSIDE reactor #4!!!!
I've been saying this for years... but this place was my ultimate abandoned dream to finally visit!!! and you'll see in part 3 how it truly effected all of us... get ready
*they were so respectful when the man was unable to speak fluent English. ive seen people make fun of accents but these guys were so kind and even helped him get his points across. how sweet-*
Just now watching this..just a little late. When Colby jokingly said “I will get Thyroid Cancer for radio doggy” while petting the stray dog, I somewhat got chills. Since we just found out about him being diagnosed with and having surgery for Testicular Cancer…
Well and the paranormal stuff... im not a huge believer but im not exactly skeptic either and they went to visit robert whos said to give people cancer and stuff...
when you stop and really think, putting yourself in the shoes of these people, picture having to leave your own hometown... god it’s just so heartbreaking
I thought the same thing... I did not expect to get emotional with this video once I started it, but I got some tears, not gonna lie!!! The way they introduced the series was was truly amazing.
Sam described it so well when he said it was a mixture of happiness and sadness. It's a dream come true for you guys to go there but a nightmare at the same time. I cannot imagine how this trip put life in perspective for you all. Even watching this is just humbling. One of the things I take away from this video is that people are resilient, and that, although undervalued, true heroes do exist. Another thing is that I am forever appreciaive of people who bring these kind of stories back to the public so we will never forget. Thank you guys!
Guys, at this point these aren't just TH-cam videos, this is a whole Netflix series, I can never stop watching these type of things, mostly because no other youtubers do ANYTHING like this, its just spectacular. Amazing job 👍

no other youtubers? actually anybody can pay for a tour around chernobyl, it's easy and cheap. Other youtubers (that you seem to look down upon), are doing much more unique explores around chernobyl without a guide and a bus. Keep it real. Fanatism is not good.
“ we’ve been talking about chernobyl since highschool “ me: crying because im so proud of how far you guys have gone and how much you guys have accomplished over the 6 or 7 years
Dear Sam, Colby and Nate I am a science teacher for 8th and 9th graders. This year we learned about nuclear power, in the country we live(South Africa) we don't really know much about it. I taught them about Chernobyl and they couldn't comprehend anything about radiation poisoning or the effects people lived with afterwards. Thank you for making this video
My mom was actually affected by Chernobyl. She lived in Latvia and was outside when it happened. She was 4 years old and the doctors didn’t discover she had it until she was 12 years old, which then they found out it was thyroid cancer. She thankfully only got half of her thyroid taken out and she’s still with us today. Crazy when she’s explaining everything that happened because tons and tons of people died from it. So sad how all of this happened but I’m glad their talking about it. Just be careful because my mom says it’s very dangerous to even go there now because there’s tons of radiation still left. So be careful!
I'm also Latvian! Crazy to think that If we wouldn't have gotten lucky with the wind we would also be even more radiated and possibly millions could've died!
nate is very articulate and i've noticed this for a long while, he's definitely a great addition to the team. good job guys for the amazing documentary!
This whole video gives me chills. '' You can lose hair '' Colby having to do cold capping because of Testicular cancer. '' Im gonna get Thyroid cancer '' He got cancer.
As a person whose parents are from Kyiv, and them experiencing this event, and being under a radioactive rain while knowing nothing about the explosion at the time, and actually trying to protect themselves from the radiation, this video actually brought up some tears. Thank you so much Colby and Sam for speaking about this topic and filming videos about it. Genuinely, thank you.
Wow my grandfather actually went to Kyiv right after the explosion and was caught under radioactive rain as well. He thought nothing of it because they wouldn't release any real information about the event. One of their relatives who was a doctor found out and notified him that he would grow incredibly sick and die within the next five years in which he so unfortunately did. The cancer slowly overtook him; it was an infection running through the inside of his entire body. I've never met him because he passed away when my mother was 11 years of age, but this tragedy will forever haunt me.
This event occurred 3 years before I was born, and I never got to learn about it until now. Thanks for the documentary! You boys are stepping up your game. Great footage and information.
I'm just curious (not being rude or anything) how did you not know? I was born in 2000 but still somehow I just came to know about it TH-cam and my family members. It's a worldwide known disaster
@@bahnishikhadas424 Not a problem. I heard the word Chernobyl, probably in reference to other world events with other random documentaries I watched, and I knew it was nuclear, but I never knew the details. I assumed it was an attack from some other nation, never heard it was an accident. Also, the public school system in America is absolutely terrible. And my family is full of idiots. So, if I wanted to learn anything, I had to go research it myself. As a teen, I didn't even know Hitler existed, and when I tried to ask my friends at the time what Nazis were, no one wanted to answer. I was glad there was a lot of documentaries on that topic.
been looking forward to this one ever since you guys announced it, i have a feeling this video/series will be one of your best. gathering my snacks and blankets, getting cozy, i'm readyyyy 😌
@@Idontknowwhatthisshouldbe some people are more emotional or empathic than others. If you didnt cry it doesnt mean others wont. Its not "a bit much" its perfectly normal to feel emotions
My mum was born in Chernobylher grandmother used to work at the station, so I would always listen to her stories and how they got relocated so now watching this it brings me some sort of comfort and brings up a lot of stuff they told me.. I'm really happy that you guys are so respectful and sweet :D
You guys changed the TH-cam game. Theses aren’t just “TH-cam Videos” these are documentaries that need to be seen by millions of people. It’s such an amazing feeling seeing my favorite people visiting my home country and showing what truly happened. You guys are incredible. 🇺🇦❤️
You don’t know what it’s like. I read more about that place than what Sam found out on the computer. That place is a death zone. I don’t think y’all realize how serious this is. There’s a high chance he may get radioactive poisoning. I just hope he doesn’t explore the power plant itself. I don’t care about the city so much but the power plant itself. If he explores it, it’s suicide.
Nate is such a great addition to the team in your documentary style videos. He’s so well spoken. All of your passion and creative abilities shine in these videos. Well done!
Sam, Colby well done. This was better than any documentary I’ve ever seen. This makes you really feel the loneliness and how abandoned this place is. You showed us the most dangerous city on earth. Like wow. I can’t thank you enough for making this. And I’m glad you guys had fun. Keep up the great work. Lots of love from me and the rest of your fans! XPLR 🧡🧡

My opinion of this video won't change so have a great day..
I absolutely LOVE when Nate is with them. The way he explains things is so amazing and makes you feel the vibe of the overall area. He's always so deep and I love listening to him explain things in a deep way.
That stray dog and colby was just two cute!! I also have relatives who lived through the chernobyl disaster, and its good to see you enjoyed yourselves.
18:19 was the best moment. "Sorry for my broken English" and they said not to apologize for that. I'm Ukrainian and seeing this warms my heart. Loved that you guys enjoyed your stay. My distant family lived in Prypyat, sadly they died from all the radiation. But still
The Guide explaining dangerous radiation levels Colby: “Are we going to experience around 100 at all?” The Guide: “I can show you some spots.” Nate: 👁👄👁
My mother grew up in Ukraine and was a kid when it happened, she was in hospital for asthma related issues and ended up meeting a lot of children there who were really badly affected by radiation poisoning... most of them didn't survive :( Thanks for shedding light on the topic Sam and Colby, it's one of those events that should never be forgotten.
Maybe you can ask her some things that happened and how was her childhood if you would like that is totally not up to me that’s up to you but I just would be really wondering of that because honestly because obviously I didn’t go up there and my town is pretty boring right now everyone is going through something I just really wanna know i’m also a sucker for history and ghost hunting
My mother grew up in Ukraine and was a kid when it happened , she was in hospital 🏥 for asthma related issues and end up meeting with one of children there who were really bad affected by radiation poisoning most of them didn't survive thanks for shading light on the topic Sam and Colby, its one of those events it should be forgotten
Fun Fact: The Amusement Park in Pripyat is actually the only amusement park I believe in the world that had the shortest run time, which was less than 24 hours. Originally the park was supposed to open on May 1st, but was hurriedly opened on April 27th to distract the citizens from the news of the blast, and then once news came later that day, the park was left abandoned.
When this happened I was 26, getting ready to get married in July, and totally self absorbed. After watching this I learned so much about a time that lived in from you guys. I really admire you guys for bringing this to the attention of your peers and even us older people. Great Job!
I didn't live there. I lived in North Carolina. I heard about it but I had no idea of what really took place because I rarely watched the news back then. Sam and Colby opened my eyes with this video.
when you think about it it’s so beautiful to find this but at the same time it’s so sad because your walking through this place where so many people made so many memories and now it’s just all broken down and empty
I admire the depth of your perspectives! You ability to show empathy is something you dont see very much these days!!!!! I just gained so much more respect for you all! Keep doing what you do!!!!!!
I was watching this and my grandma called she kept calling me a disappointment and a disgrace to our family bc I’m sick and didn’t want to go to a family church thing but this helped me calm down and re think what I should do I’m waiting for my mom so get home and I’m telling her but thank you Sam and Colby for helping me with my stress it helped me so much :)
no one: sam and colby: *posts a Chernobyl documentary series… me: “y’all have literally taken your words “xplr” and “make it count” to a whole new level with this one… i’m so proud of you both” 🖤
Im literally in tears the interview with Vladimir I believe his name is was so deep to me. SO HAPPY and blessed to have heard his story. I respect and love them for their courage and commitment. We need more or them.
For anyone curious, at 35:52 the radiation levels that give a current reading are per hour. So it was 50R/h in that case, the "R" stands for REM. If you work with any type of radiation you are allowed 5R per year. These people were receiving 10 years of the (maximum allowable dosage per year) in one hour. These are all numbers according to the NRC if I remember them correctly.
@@meganisscaredIt’s tough to say tbh. A lot of geiger counters use milli-sieverts while we used milli-roentgen and I can’t recall if the conversion is the same. I think the most they saw was about 0.15mS/hr for about 5 seconds? To put it into perspective you could stand somewhere with 0.50mS/hr for 100 hours and probably be okay, still way over what you want in such a short time tho lol. That would be 5R in around 4 days. The way radiation works is weird when it comes to time. Theoretically you could be exposed to 20R over the span of a year and be fine. But if your body was exposed to 20R worth immediately your cells wouldn’t be able to regenerate fast enough and would breakdown from the inside out until you die. The molten core after the explosion was putting off so much radiation that they called it madusa. This is because the only way they could look at it without dying was with a mirror.. Yikes. It must’ve been something crazy like 100,000,000mS/hr All that being said, I wouldn’t be that worried standing in a zone putting out 0.15mS/hr if that was why you were curious lol.
@@meganisscaredREM stands for (roentgen equivalent man). Thats most likely what the geiger counter is reading it as just in Sieverts. It’s a little less than 1 RAD.
Sometimes the scariest villain of them all is just....humanity itself. The world has already been overwhelmed by one Chernobyl and one exclusion zone. It cannot afford it anymore. Mankind's greatest downfall, will be its pride and arrogance.
@McD the t you kinda explained it yourself. It's nearly forgotten, because it wasn't as bad. Fukishima is NOT comparable to Chernobyl. Not by a long shot. The accident at Fukushima occurred after a series of tsunami waves struck the facility and disabled systems needed to cool the nuclear fuel. The accident at Chernobyl stemmed from a flawed reactor design and human error. It released about 10 times the radiation that was released after the Fukushima accident.
@McD the t dude yes they're all bad BUT CHERNOBYL WAS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. That's what you're not getting. You CAN'T ON ANY LEVEL compare it to any other disaster event.
@@ribottostudio exactly. people like the above dude always with the stupid WHATABOUISM. We're talking about an event that would have ended the world if it hadn't been contained. Would fukushima end the world? probably, probably not. Both Fukushima and Chernobyl are huge environmental disasters. But Chernobyl produced more environmental contamination. While people have returned to continue containment efforts, there are still large areas where people simply can not go or risk lethal exposure. Fukushima did not produce as much environmental contamination as Chernobyl, but it is in a much more populated area, near the ocean, and has the potential to impact more people as a result of its location. So how you measure environmental impact is debatable (people displaced, wildlife impact, cost of cleanup).CONSIDERING Chernobyl's accident released TEN TIMES the radiation that was released after Fukushima, I'd say Chernobyl was and will be the worst thing to happen on this planet in terms of nuclear disaster.
@@thewatcher6969 Yes but it is also very important to consider the huge benifits nuclear energy has had in terms of replacing fossil fuels that are incredibly more dangerous. Chernobyl like you stated is and probably will be the worst nuclear disaster ever, yet it had a quite small death toll as WHOs upper estimate is that 4000 people will die as a cause of chernobyl compared to the 1 in fukushima and 0 in 3 mile island. Comparing that to 1,5 million deaths that occur EVERY year because of air pollution from coal power plants.
I just recently got into Sam and Colby and watching this video and Colby joking about thyroid cancer is crazy to me. That he was joking about it and actually got cancer, different kind but still, blows my mind. Im glad he's free of it now❤
I started this video and within seconds I had goosebumps all over my body. Chernobyl must have SO much energy - on every label - the thought of all those people, the fear, the sadness... I can't imagine being there in person.
When Igor said ''you can probably olso get cancer'' and when colby said ''I will get Thyroid cancer for radio doggy'' and then found out about colby getting cancer got chills down my spine-
He’s an idiot who thinks everything he says is profound. Even the guide stepped on him when he kept cutting in and not letting him complete his sentence
This is probably gonna be the most interesting series that I have ever watched and I just can’t wait to watch it until the end and see what happens next ☢️
I´m Swedish and I´m from an area that got a lot of fallout from that radioactive cloud, about 90km from Forsmark nuclear powerplant (were they first discovered something had happened). After the accident you couldn´t eat berries or fish from certain lakes because of the high radiation. To this day hunters send in samples from animals to test them for radioactivity. Wild boars specifically have a high level of radiation because they dig around in the ground.
I love how Nate knows all these facts this makes everything so much better. Like it starts at 100% but with the facts it goes to 150% 400 likes thank you
"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all." - Valery Legasov
What breaks my heart the most is just the fact a huge chunk of Ukraine is gone, unlivable forever. Imagine just having a huge chunk of your home country gone, it's like a part of the nation's soul is just...gone. Devastating to say the least.
Belarus (6 miles from Chernobyl to the north) actually received at least 70% of the radioactive fallout from the disaster. If you looked at the map where they showed the area that won’t be inhabitable for potentially millions of years, it’s pretty much all focused at Chernobyl and north to Belarus. While there is a large amount of Ukrainian territory that is contaminated and likely unlivable forever, Belarus rarely gets mentioned. It was RIGHT on the border. It’s not like the plant was in the center of the country. It was pretty much as far to the edge as it could be.
This is such an important thing that happened in the world’s history that needs to be talked about more. Thank you guys for going and filming this for us. ☢️
In 6th grade, we were being taught about the Chernobyl in social studies, and it was honestly the most interesting thing ever to me. I only ever heard about nuclear reactions in movies and video games so learning that something like this actually happened blew my little 11 year old mind. I payed alot more attention in that lesson. It still fascinates me that a whole town was just up and left, not being able to take anything with them.
Sam:”Ten years of radiation and you’re still not scared?” The tour laughing with Colby: “Hahahah” A few seconds later… Realizing what Sam said: “No, never scared”
As a lover of history and a huge Chernobyl nerd, I love this. You guys were super respectful when speaking to the locals who may not understand English well, you went above and beyond to help breakdown the knowledge of the event so it was more understandable. Like many others, Chernobyl is a place I'd love to visit. Thanks for such a great video guys
i started being interested in Chernobyl around 13/14 and that’s when docs on youtube started coming out. as a now 20 year old this is probably one of the best ones i’ve watched. you talked to real survivors and someone who worked on the plant. that’s a different vibe in this video and a whole different atmosphere. really enjoyed this video
You guys did an amazing job on this video. I am a 58 year old grandma and learned more from you about Chernobyl then I did in school. Thank you for being such caring souls. I learned about your channel when I had my granddaughter for the weekend and we binge watched you the whole time. From your fun ghost hunting videos, to the historic documentaries like this one, to the videos of what you guys have gone through health wise, you guys are all just amazing. I wish the best for all of you. Sam and Colby, glad you are both ok now from what you have been both been through too. Keep kicking ass guys!
It seems like u guys visited this place just in time. At the time of writing this comment Russia has invaded Ukraine and is in control of Chernobyl. It's so sad my heart goes out to everyone suffering right now. I'm glad u guys got the chance to visit though I love Ur videos thanku guys 😄

@Олег Пчёлкин nice I went to yor channel but it's in some other language and I don't know that language so sorry I can't watch it because I wont understand what u are saying
I started following you guys about 2 months ago after one of my students recommended your channel to me and I have watched so many videos!! This is definitely one of my favorites!! Keep up the awesome work boys!

You can fix broken bones, but you can’t fix stupid. He’s just saying whatever gets likes, probably only went because he knew the headline would get tons of views so he can promote the jacket he’s wearing
I watched a youtuber sneak into the exclusion zone years ago and thought it was so cool. Now being on the legal side and seeing the actual tour is pretty fascinating as well haha
I guess so., the thing I dont like is how they say that they are "exploring" and that this is not our typical youtube video, when it's just so easy to pay for a tour around chernobyl and it's not even expensive... There is no much exploring or adventure in being carried around a city on a bus. but surely they make it look like they did something hugely adventurous and unique. I'd rather watch stalkers' videos, those are real explores.
@@vanessaruiz4705 I mean you literally said "I'd rather watch stalkers videos, those are real explorers" what could've implied in that sentence if it's not saying that you prefer them going illegal way? 🤷🏻
Yes! You boys are making documentaries now and I’m living for it. This is such a powerful story that not a lot of people know about. I love all the history you guys put in this video. Such great work guys! This video was powerful thank you for going, filming and doing the story justice. I enjoyed watching it thank you.
three years ago and this video have me eating my nails, its amazing and really interesting, the kind hearts of sam and colby make this video, a more than a youtube video, this video is a full documentary of this tragical accident, and how they try to be in those people shoes, its just fascinating, what a great job!!!

This event occurred 3 years before I was born, and I never got to learn about it until now. Thanks for the documentary! You boys are stepping up your game. Great footage and information.
I'm just curious (not being rude or anything) how did you not know? I was born in 2000 but still somehow I just came to know about it TH-cam and my family members. It's a worldwide known disaster
@@bahnishikhadas424 Not a problem. I heard the word Chernobyl, probably in reference to other world events with other random documentaries I watched, and I knew it was nuclear, but I never knew the details. I assumed it was an attack from some other nation, never heard it was an accident. Also, the public school system in America is absolutely terrible. And my family is full of idiots. So, if I wanted to learn anything, I had to go research it myself. As a teen, I didn't even know Hitler existed, and when I tried to ask my friends at the time what Nazis were, no one wanted to answer. I was glad there was a lot of documentaries on that topic.

You don’t know what it’s like. I read more about that place than what Sam found out on the computer. That place is a death zone. I don’t think y’all realize how serious this is. There’s a high chance he may get radioactive poisoning. I just hope he doesn’t explore the power plant itself. I don’t care about the city so much but the power plant itself. If he explores it, it’s suicide.

Fun Fact: The Amusement Park in Pripyat is actually the only amusement park I believe in the world that had the shortest run time, which was less than 24 hours. Originally the park was supposed to open on May 1st, but was hurriedly opened on April 27th to distract the citizens from the news of the blast, and then once news came later that day, the park was left abandoned.

For anyone curious, at 35:52 the radiation levels that give a current reading are per hour. So it was 50R/h in that case, the "R" stands for REM. If you work with any type of radiation you are allowed 5R per year. These people were receiving 10 years of the (maximum allowable dosage per year) in one hour. These are all numbers according to the NRC if I remember them correctly.
When they drove through the red forest what was the level in REM?
@@meganisscaredIt’s tough to say tbh. A lot of geiger counters use milli-sieverts while we used milli-roentgen and I can’t recall if the conversion is the same.
I think the most they saw was about 0.15mS/hr for about 5 seconds? To put it into perspective you could stand somewhere with 0.50mS/hr for 100 hours and probably be okay, still way over what you want in such a short time tho lol. That would be 5R in around 4 days.
The way radiation works is weird when it comes to time. Theoretically you could be exposed to 20R over the span of a year and be fine. But if your body was exposed to 20R worth immediately your cells wouldn’t be able to regenerate fast enough and would breakdown from the inside out until you die.
The molten core after the explosion was putting off so much radiation that they called it madusa. This is because the only way they could look at it without dying was with a mirror.. Yikes. It must’ve been something crazy like 100,000,000mS/hr
All that being said, I wouldn’t be that worried standing in a zone putting out 0.15mS/hr if that was why you were curious lol.
@@meganisscaredREM stands for (roentgen equivalent man). Thats most likely what the geiger counter is reading it as just in Sieverts. It’s a little less than 1 RAD.
@@FluffyBusch I just realized it shows later in the video I just hadn’t gotten there yet lol, thank you tho!
@@meganisscared No problem!
Sometimes the scariest villain of them all is just....humanity itself. The world has already been overwhelmed by one Chernobyl and one exclusion zone. It cannot afford it anymore.
Mankind's greatest downfall, will be its pride and arrogance.
@McD the t you kinda explained it yourself. It's nearly forgotten, because it wasn't as bad. Fukishima is NOT comparable to Chernobyl. Not by a long shot. The accident at Fukushima occurred after a series of tsunami waves struck the facility and disabled systems needed to cool the nuclear fuel. The accident at Chernobyl stemmed from a flawed reactor design and human error. It released about 10 times the radiation that was released after the Fukushima accident.
@McD the t dude yes they're all bad BUT CHERNOBYL WAS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. That's what you're not getting. You CAN'T ON ANY LEVEL compare it to any other disaster event.
@@ribottostudio exactly. people like the above dude always with the stupid WHATABOUISM. We're talking about an event that would have ended the world if it hadn't been contained. Would fukushima end the world? probably, probably not. Both Fukushima and Chernobyl are huge environmental disasters. But Chernobyl produced more environmental contamination. While people have returned to continue containment efforts, there are still large areas where people simply can not go or risk lethal exposure. Fukushima did not produce as much environmental contamination as Chernobyl, but it is in a much more populated area, near the ocean, and has the potential to impact more people as a result of its location. So how you measure environmental impact is debatable (people displaced, wildlife impact, cost of cleanup).CONSIDERING Chernobyl's accident released TEN TIMES the radiation that was released after Fukushima, I'd say Chernobyl was and will be the worst thing to happen on this planet in terms of nuclear disaster.
@@thewatcher6969 Yes but it is also very important to consider the huge benifits nuclear energy has had in terms of replacing fossil fuels that are incredibly more dangerous. Chernobyl like you stated is and probably will be the worst nuclear disaster ever, yet it had a quite small death toll as WHOs upper estimate is that 4000 people will die as a cause of chernobyl compared to the 1 in fukushima and 0 in 3 mile island. Comparing that to 1,5 million deaths that occur EVERY year because of air pollution from coal power plants.
I just recently got into Sam and Colby and watching this video and Colby joking about thyroid cancer is crazy to me. That he was joking about it and actually got cancer, different kind but still, blows my mind. Im glad he's free of it now❤
This really brought the event to the surface for people who never even heard of Chernobyl. This was an amazing video
I started this video and within seconds I had goosebumps all over my body. Chernobyl must have SO much energy - on every label - the thought of all those people, the fear, the sadness... I can't imagine being there in person.

I´m Swedish and I´m from an area that got a lot of fallout from that radioactive cloud, about 90km from Forsmark nuclear powerplant (were they first discovered something had happened).
After the accident you couldn´t eat berries or fish from certain lakes because of the high radiation.
To this day hunters send in samples from animals to test them for radioactivity. Wild boars specifically have a high level of radiation because they dig around in the ground.

What breaks my heart the most is just the fact a huge chunk of Ukraine is gone, unlivable forever. Imagine just having a huge chunk of your home country gone, it's like a part of the nation's soul is just...gone. Devastating to say the least.
Belarus (6 miles from Chernobyl to the north) actually received at least 70% of the radioactive fallout from the disaster. If you looked at the map where they showed the area that won’t be inhabitable for potentially millions of years, it’s pretty much all focused at Chernobyl and north to Belarus. While there is a large amount of Ukrainian territory that is contaminated and likely unlivable forever, Belarus rarely gets mentioned. It was RIGHT on the border. It’s not like the plant was in the center of the country. It was pretty much as far to the edge as it could be.
Also a big part of Belarus, actually Kiev dodged a bullet since the greater part of the fallout went north.
Unlivable ever imagine having a chunk of your home country gun and part of the natural soul is just gone desperative standing to say the least

In 6th grade, we were being taught about the Chernobyl in social studies, and it was honestly the most interesting thing ever to me. I only ever heard about nuclear reactions in movies and video games so learning that something like this actually happened blew my little 11 year old mind. I payed alot more attention in that lesson. It still fascinates me that a whole town was just up and left, not being able to take anything with them.
