- A scene from HBO's new miniseries "Chernobyl" Episode 2: Please Remain Calm. I have included the Korean translation, which was done by myself. I do not own any of the footage. All credit's go to HBO, The creator Craig Mazin, and the cast crew.
You can watch the series on the HBO homepage: play.hbonow.com/
In April 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics becomes one of the world's worst man-made catastrophes.
Creator: Craig Mazin Stars: Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård, Jessie Buckley

@Rokossovsky There wasn't any graphite comrade
These poor guys died trying to save what is left of humanity and you are here laughing your asses of over a tragic death.
I hope their families can't read english so that they keep believing they died for something.

It was not meant for the pilot only. Ionizing radiation of that magnitude fries electronic circuitry immediately.

@@goodgirlkay Come on mate, let's be real here. Not saying that the USA is an angel, but the Soviet government even up to its final days was quite something different. Just ask any of the Warsaw Pact states.
@@gentlemanvontweed7147
I give you the best example our nuclear biological chemical suites where designed to withstand 3 day's of operation. This was the time that the polish armed forces had to achieve there goal for take over Denmark and north part of West Germany. After 3 days those suites would not protect us. Simply useless shit.Moscow as polish high command know it we the soldiers know if too. And only in this are the Warsaw Pakt or actually soviets would drop at least 15 to 25 tactical nukes. Life didn't matter the mission was important.
I believe it would have been the same scene word for word in any other country.
Are you serious? They literally had what they called "Bio Robots"... in other words, solders, go up on a roof and clear off radioactive graphite. The Soviet Union could not have cared less about the lives lost or the horrible conditions those that did not die then endured.
@@testy462 so... you prefer to leave it there? And not build sarcophagus over the reactor then?
It's almost like they're not even acting, just feeling the moment in character... what a scene, what a show!
there is not much to feel in front of a green screen :D
@@EndbossProductions Filmed in Lithuania fella. ;)
@@cuberkreedz of course they didnt film the whole series in front of a green screen ... but scenes like that one up there are not real.
@@EndbossProductions what the hell is wrong with you? Next you gonna tell me that The Marsian wasn't really filmed on Mars? xD
That they used greenscreen and CGI doesn't take away from their great acting, if anything, it even makes it more impressive because they have to use a lot of imagination
@@EndbossProductions What? Are you expecting to actually crash a helicopter?
“A minor rotor malfunction; not good, but not terrible”
Western sabotage
Kerschenbaum, call me in when the women are ready and taken out of the helicopter!
the rotorblades where marble contaminated, ive seen worse...
haskapaska not good, not terrible
The blades hitted the crane's cable.
The pilot didn't saw it because of the smoke.
This crash actually happened in the way depicted but not for a few weeks later, initial drops were done "safely" but one helicopter was lost with crew due to hitting crane cables.
It was months after the chernobyl explosion not weeks the helicopter crashed in October.
That is correct. Actually, the real footage of that crash can be found on youtube. Like you said, the helicopter strayed too close to the cables of the nearby crane and ended up crashing.
This fictional helicopter DID hit the crane cables. Just like in real life. You can see the tackle get severed and fall along with the helicopter.
I think the reason they had shown it in the show was obviously it makes for a great scene..and I think they wanted to really show how many people gave their lives to try to solve this mess. Think they just wanted them to not be remembered. Rip.
@@gearedf0rw4r_68 The whole timeline needed to be altered because they had to keep the show interesting, functional and had a lot to show. It's pretty obvious that there wouldn't be much interest in showing the crash randomly near the end of the series without much context.

Tbh at first I thought the helicopter blades disintegrated or something, only later I saw it hit the crane.
I didn't even notice the crane, Thanks for pointing it out
BigMisterApple when the chopper flew over the radiation pretty much tore apart the mechanics of the chopper and weakened the steel and other commitments. So when it hit the crane it pretty much disinterested.
@@alexanderforrest1983 Please don't try to educate on things you know nothing about. Radiation here had nothing to do with the material structure of the helicopters.
Heat I don’t know much but if radiation can break down electronics won’t it also break down some of the the helicopter structure based on heat given off from that direction of the reactor alone?
@@alexanderforrest1983 No.
At 2:05 when Scherbina said: "Send the next one in." I felt that.

@@S_Muss you got me
I like this scene because it shows how Scherbina is starting to trust and respect Legasov's words and directions.
Im so glad they didnt add any explosion or unnecessary special effects, the fact that none of this is needed to empower this scene is just another proof that the showrunners did a awesome job here.
Good point. Besides its placement in the timeline, they kept it, like many other scenes, very close to the original footage, almost like a recreation.
I agree, the realism is far more powerful than any special effect could be.
There is video footage of it when it actually happened
Are you kidding, we did not even see an explosion for the core itself. There was something with the series avoiding to show explosions.
@@tourajtayebi2189in fact they did show it in the first episode where they only show the explosion from afar and in the fifth where they show step by step that led up to the explosion
The look of pure hopelessness on Legasovs face when he shakes his head no is intense.
The acting here is SO Powerful.
“Is there any other option, Legasov?”
That moment when Legasov looks at Boris...and his eyes say everything.
“I’m so sorry Boris...I wish there was another way...Believe me, I do...”.
And then Boris, 100% bares that responsibility, and steels himself, as he says “Send in the next one.”
The helicopter crashed on October 2, 1986. The crew of 4 people died - the commander of the 1st class pilot, captain Vorobiev V.K. (1956), the navigator of the station. Lieutenant A. Yundkind, E. (1958), a flight engineer for the armament of Art. Lieutenant A.I. Khristich, (1953) and an armament specialist, Senior Ensign N.Ganzhuk. The crew was assigned to the helicopter unit stationed in Chisinau. The preliminary cause of the catastrophe is the blinding rays of the sun from the crew commander.
Александр Н thank you they were heroes .
Not everyone in the Helicopter died,like two members of the tripulation survived the crash and died by Radiation Poisoness
Rest in peace friends.
Death from the crash would have likely been a blessing with them flying directly through the smoke like that. Would take instant death over what some other poor fuckers suffered from radiation poisoning
@@PhotonBread link
I love his transition from "Oooh thinks he's SO special, studying radiation and all that..."
to "hey Mr. Radiology guy, what can I do for ya?"
I mean, when Legasov said about "the equivalent of two Hiroshima explosions an hour, every hour, until the entire continent is dead" it was more than enough to leave anybody shook. That was the precise moment that made Shcherbina take it down a notch (or rather, a couple notches), and caused him to treat Legasov seriously.
@@nob2243 That and when later he told him their both essentially going to be killed by having been there so long.
There was a Real Footage of the Mi-8 Rotorblades hit the Crane. The footage was never released to the Public. Till it was Found.
Those men deserved better.
Diligent One-Six Actually it was release in a video I saw once on here
Here is the video link of the real crash

It was their duty, they sacrificed themselves so others could survive. As the scene described, there was no other option.
Rhysio Eren but ultimately their sacrifice meant nothing. The sand and boron did not snuff out the core like the Soviets hoped.
@@TJSmith03 you are just bringing attention to yourself dude

"You are dealing with something that has never occurred on this planet before."
Parts of the helicopter are still there visible under the dome to this day.

This is, by far, the best series I've bought in many years. Somber and horrifying and , I believe, quite accurate. Everyone should see this. A historic time that should never be forgotten.....
It's not terribly accurate on radiation effects, but it is convincing.
I saw the footage this scene was based on. It was unreal. I thought it was dramatized but...no it more or less fell like that.
Only thing added was the smoke
@TheSatanicTicTac
I can hardly picture what it must of been like on the copter, but I can imagine that if I was in that position that it was my idea, that I would immense guilt. But, as is shown in the vid, "There was no other way."
Yes, the show shows them hitting the cables but with the smoke and static they are making implications that it was the radiation that caused the crash, when in reality radiation had nothing to do with causing the crash.
@@dickcaughtinfan9764 Radiation probably had a lot to do with it. The crash happened during the construction of the concrete containment vessel, the sarcophagus, to cover the open reactor. Helicopter pilots had to do repeated flyovers around the reactor building many times per day. Pilots who took part on it are on record commenting about the fatigue adding up, result of the many flighs. But most of them also talk of feeling severe dizzyness, probably caused by the constant exposure in a heavily irradiated airspace.
The real crash happened when a Mi-8 flew too close to a crane, the rotor hitting the cables. While we'll never know the true cause of the accident, for sure both fatigue and cumulative radioactive exposure had a part on it. So indeed it did have a lot to do with causing the crash.
Nope it was just dramatization
I just realized, no aircraft explosion, finally some good fucking realism.
Sure, except for the minor detail that this never happened.
@@jshepard152 th-cam.com/video/zuNtgYtF4FI/w-d-xo.html
It did happen, though not depicted similarly on the show where it appeared during the early stage of cleanup. Crash happened on October 2nd, 1986. Just over 5 months later.
@@fritzceo9194 It didn't happen as described. Months later, different circumstances, nothing to do with proximity to the core, etc, etc.
@@jshepard152 Well yeah, the show would be boring if it was a 1:1 re-enactment. It's supposed to give you an expression to the event. The KGB scenes aren't even necessary since it just shows how "Americans see the Soviet Union" considering Ulana Khomyuk is a completely fictional character. I was talking about the aircraft barreling down after hitting the cable and not including a giant ball of fire.
This actually happened months after, but only because the pilot got to close to the crane and crashed. I believe this scene was altered to be this way to show the sacrifices made during the cleanup, and to show how deadly the radiation really was.
No, the radiation is what killed them. The rotor hitting the cable was merely the straw that broke the camel's back--you can see how the entire tail of the helicopter just breaks in half even though it hadn't hit anything. That's intense radiation causing severe metal fatigue in seconds, such that it takes hardly anything to cause the aircraft to just break like it's made out of tissue paper. The reason the pilots hit the cable in the first place was probably because they were feeling deeply unwell in the mere seconds they were over the reactor.
@@Raptor747 Dude, you wrote complete nonsense. Don't do that, please.
@@Raptor747are you talking about the show, a dramatised portrayal for HBO? Or what actually happened, because as an earlier commenter said, you’re writing nonsense
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
@@Raptor747the OP is correct. What you are describing is the fiction presented in the show. Not the actual events of history.
Operator : "Sir, what will I tell to the others?"
Boris : "Is there any other way, Legasov?"
Operator : "Lead two, is there any other way, Legasov?"
Pilot : "Lead two copy, is there any other way, Legasov?"
I'm a radiochemist, not a rotor engineer! Raise the power!
This is so idiotic and yet made me blast in laugh hahahah omfg
Scarier than any horror movie, because it actually happened.
I've been thinking about this scene and realized that, if they hadn't hit their propeller on the cable and survived that flight, they probably would die a slow painful death caused by the radiation anyway. so perhaps it was better for them?
Show mixes order of events, but Mykola Melnyk, Ukrainian pilot for Soviet AF flew 46 sorties including during Chernobyl disaster and earned Hero of Soviet Union for that. He died 2013. Most likely surviving that crash was worse news as there would not be rescue attempt and even if injured crew managed to crawl out to safety they would probably be lethally irradiated.
Notice when the helicopter begins to make noises, it is actually because its hitting the cables and you can see the hook falling down as well. WOW
my eyes were glued to the screen the entire time i was watching this series
"Is there any other way?"
The sad headshake after this, He knows there isnt another way, but he knows those men will suffer and die if they continue. That's a position no one wants to be in.
Sometimes these scenes fly by all too quickly when binging a show. Very much enjoyed seeing them individually displaying the weight and consequences of their decisions. Cheers and thank you.
It is like Chernobyl returned after 33 years in the mini series
33 years.
33 megawatt final recorded output.
Lots of 33s.
Did you know that Chernobyl is Ukrainian for wormwood? In the book of revelations a comet called Wormwood explodes and poisons a third of the planet.
Many in Russia believe that Chernobyl was western sabotage designed to collapse the USSR.
What if the graphite tips and power surge effects were not design flaws but features?
What if the plant management had been turned and were working for Western security, and had set up the reactor channels in such a way that insertion of the control rods at the crucial moment would lead to an explosion by design?
When was the detonation button pressed? 01:23:45
Still don't believe that the elite uses numerology in the planning of their events?
@@forestdenizen6497 33 megawatt don't you mean gigawatt?
Amazing series! I watched it in one day, couldn't stop
@@forestdenizen6497 I think I absorbed 7 grays reading this
@@forestdenizen6497 another theory no one likes to talk about is that some tops in the civilian government of the Ukranian part of USSR were stealing the energy to secretly trade to the west; now, the experiment (which led to explosion) was controlled by soviet defense department, notorious for their secrecy, they were trying for the nuclear station's cooling mechanisms to work even without outside power (in case of attack for example), powering from itself. Imagine this: daytime, nuclear power plant works as usual; nighttime: the board and sensors would show supposed amount of the current flow, while in reality, say, 100megawatts would be sent somewhere else; thus you'd see 140mwts on the board, but if you try to set the flow lower, say, to 40mwts, you would get 40-100 instead of 140-100... Which would result in what?
You can find the actual footage of the real helicopter crashing during the clean up efforts. Absolutely gut wrenching.
RIP to those in the helicopter. They died while trying to save everyone.
This has to be the best mini series ever made. It's so good that if you joined all the episodes, it's better than any Best picture at the oscars in the past 10 years or so
1. The actual helicopter crash occured on October 2nd, not in conjunction with the firefighting in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. It was many months later, and by this point there was no fire, and the sarcophagus was already under construction.
2. The helicopter in question (Mi-8, numbered "30") was not dumping sand or boron or anything of the sort. It was actually applying a PVA (polyvinylacetate) glue to some parts of the upper structure to seal any remaining contaminated dust in, so that it could be removed safely before they assembled the upper parts of the sarcophagus.
3. Radiation levels in the air above the structure were negligible at this point. What caused the helicopter to crash was that it struck some crane wires, the cranes that were assembling said sarcophagus. The pilot got disoriented for a moment due to sun glare and got too close to the crane.
4. The (original) footage was captured by a news crew from West Siberian News (the cameraman was Victor Grebenyuk), and was never lost or anything.
PS. this HBO stuff and all the meme-ing is getting kind of tiresome. Yeah, it's a great dramatic series, but they took a looooot of artistic liberties.
nice touch at 0:25 the firetrucks are still there
Why is the crane there though? It's supposed to be there because they were building the sarcophagus, but it doesn't make sense that they moved this crash here. They could've used the crane instead of the helicopters, if it would've been there at this point.
@@mrkiky no lol, that crane has always been there. If you look at the original helicopter crash footage it also crashes into a crane
@@plumpstery5199 Yes but the original footage was taken when they were building the sarcophagus, 6 months after the explosion. It makes sense that the crane was there, but it doesn't make sense the crane is there 30 hours after the explosion. And if it was, why didn't they use that to drop the boron and sand?
@@mrkiky Maybe they were going to use it to drop the boron and sand, but the radiation fried its insides Joker-style?
@@RonPaul42069 Well the real reason it's there is because they were replicating the crash from the footage. And the reason it's in the footage is because they were using it to build the sarcophagus. So you can come up with your own reason why it's there at that time in the show since there is no official reason given.
This may be the best miniseries ever it’s just so gut wrenching you really feel for these people in every decision they have to make. And I know some of it’s dramatized but it is based off real life events. And real life is way more complicated than TV shit So just bravo to everyone in the cast and everyone who is a part of making this fantastic work
This is probably the part where Legasov and Boris recieved the most amount of radiation
Legasov was the personification of human instinct during that crisis. With all the knowledge he had to stop this, well more like prevent it from being worse than it should have been, the one thing that prevented him from executing effectively was his idea that one life was worth more than every life. He kept trying to save those who were working so hard to prevent it from spreading, not realising that every life that tried was a thousand more lives saved.
That pilot was delusional.. rip to them aswell..
It was feed water , I have seen worse
Thank god for this show. Haven’t seen something this great in a long time
For those who didnt notice helicopter wing hit wire
Helicopters dont have wings, you're thinking of birds.
@@jontupper They are called rotor blades, but they do act as wings. So, while he wasnt using the right term, he was in fact technically right.
You didn’t see wings! Because they are not there!

You are delusional. Go to infirmary.
Delusional. Its the infirmary for you Comrade
...so if youre overdue for a checkup, I hear it's the equivalent of a chest xray
Love the subtle little look Boris gives when it lowkey hits him that would’ve been him if they’d flown over
The helicopter hit a crane. The crash had nothing to do with radiation.
Radiation doesn't affect a helicopter in any way.
@@BangThaBazie you are completly wrong. Radiation at that level would fry electronics like in an EMP sure they would have some resistance due to the armor but it can disrupt and take down a helecopter if they are there long enough.
@@pentaforge994 No the rotor blades hit the crane, look closer. But you are right about the radiation.
Best TV series I've ever watched.
After getting that close to the core the Helicopter crashing is probably the best thing that could have happened to the crew.
By watching this i just realized that this series so rewatchable.
Without doubt the best mini-series ever made.
Those two actors are so good.
I hope they get Oscars.
I seem to spend every night watching Chernobyl 2019 clips and older documentaries. TH-cam keeps throwing them up.
Some of the comments on the various videos are so good. (many are just stupid, posted by people with an IQ of 3.6)
It's tv no Oscars
This show is a masterpiece. My god what acting.
Not that this was a horror series or anything, but while i was watching this, I couldn’t sleep right. This series hit me hard. Whoever hasn’t seen this, needs to asap. Brilliantly written and directed.
This is one of the greatest series ever made, hands down.
Pilot:
"There is no core, you didn't see it! You DIDN'T!"
That was a fascinating mini series and if you haven't seen it you should. That is what I call must see television.
4 years ago i literally watched this series over and over
This was one of the most intense hbo series I’ve discovered on my own. Glad I got so many people to watch it 😂

This series knocked it out of the park (if you're a ⚾ person) or into the pavilion (for 🏏 tragics). On every level, the writing, performances all the way down the call sheet, the stunning make up, wardrobe and overall design, Chernobyl is a masterful production.
For every ignorant, arse-covering apparatchik involved in this, there were ten incredibly brave and self-sacrificing individuals who quite literally saved the European continent. Most of them died horribly. They deserve to be remembered and respected.
There was other way, but they did not have the equipment at the time. Equipment arrived much later.
@@AdminTommy 6 months later, to be exact.
@@AdminTommy yeah, but crash happened long after they have been dropping sand and cement inside the core, it has nothing to do with this operation.
"Make sure you don't wear loose fitting undies"
"Why?"
"Chernobyl fall out !"
When the first helicopter crashed had to be a thoroughly discouraging moment.
Cannot even begin to fathom the amount of Gamma Radiation that helicopter crew took in that short time .
I just realized they actually got the helikopter crash right. Yes the timestamp for the crash was way off since it happened many months later but they wanted it in the show. I did read an article about this show Where they said the helikopter crashed because it hit the wires of a crane. Not because of radiation as seen in the show. If you look at this scene again it hit the crane. You see the basket at the end of the crane cable fall and a metallic sound. The helikopter in this show crashed because it hit the crane not from radiation. So the guy that wrote that article was wrong!
King Wacky
How would a helicopter crash because of radiation?
Radiation does not destroy. It mutates.
And that process takes a lot of time.
The heli crashed because of the cable
And the smoke was just so they could make the timeline more fitting.
The real accident was 6 months after the fire and there was not smoke.
Simple miscommunication led to this. Always look out for frauds is the first rule of those kind of operations.
Phoenix 990 Thats What i said dude. The guy that wrote the article said the show said the crash was because of radiation. Which it of course was not
Phoenix 990 you said exactly What i already said
Then why that robot , The Joker malfunctioned when they put it on the roof? Wasnt because of the gama radiation?
Marius Giurgiu yes
Just one scene of many that are about as good as you can possibly get on television. Better than the vast majority films made today, if not all of them.
"Send in the next one." Such a heavy moment, tremendous acting
I wish i could forget this show just to rewatch it
The acting here is impressive
It is actually correctly portraied that the helicopter went down because its rotors hit a dangeling wire and not because of radiation frying the circuits.
However this happened six months later and not due to jammed radios but due to the pilots mistake (which you can read as either Soviet incompetence or just an unlucky accident).
The scary thing is, if I am correct, it wasn't that the pilot got knocked out from radiation, it's that everything electronic component in the helicopter died. The only reason it took the rotors a while is because they are made to hover even without electronics
Well, that might've happened if the series was correct, however the actual crash happened months after the explosion, and was really just down to pilot error.
"Is there any other way?"
-Call the fire brigade
One sfx problem here: Active helicopter blades in the middle of a smoke column with minimal smoke disturbance.
So?
Frankly my dear,i don't give a damn.
The smoke is treated as an entity. See also the scene with the man on the rooftop looking down into the ruined reactor (I haven't actually seen the series yet so I don't know his name). The smoke there almost looks alive as it boils out of the wound in the building. Here the smoke is malicious and envelops the chopper like a death shroud
@@renatodias7035 dearly my damn, i dont frank a gives.
SFX means "sound effects." You mean VFX.
Oh god those poor souls
What a show. Incredible.
crazy how even in this dire situation the radio guy waits for approval from boris rather than just listen to legasov
Not gonna lie but the actual footage was even horrifying
никогда не забывай о смелых жертвах этих пилотов, никогда не забывай, never forget
Fantastic series. Must watch.
That painful and helpless headshaking from Legasov...
2:00 that "...no", showing impotence, desperation and frustration.
Is just too much.
2nd pilot: uhh sir, lead chopper went down
Dyatlov: he's delusional, take him to the infirmary
To this day you can still see parts of the Helicopter in the tomb of Reactor 4.
Legasov: If you fly over the reactor, you'll be begging for that bullet tomorrow
*Pilot flies over the reactor*
Pilot: Welp why beg for it tomorrow when we can just die now.
reeee
Yeeeeet
The helicopter crash actually happened in October
Helpful subtitles...
"You didn't see a helicopter on the ground, that's just graphite"
Why not use the crane to drop sand there?
Because there was no crane. The actual crane caused crash happened in October (6month after) while they were building a sarcophagus, and they deployed a crane by that time already.
Otherwise it does not make sense to use heli if you have a crane :D
impossible due to radiation.
It would be impossible if you would stay in the crane controller room for one hour you would probably die from radiation poisoning.
only if it was a remote control crane. It was radioactive already.
"is there any other way?" Sure, build me a trebuchet
@@randomgamer625 That is there regardless, what we are talking about is the fact that they were trying to dump material onto the radioactive site, they couldn't fly over it but they could have thrown said material via catapult.
If you see closer, the helicopter didn't fall because of the radiation, it fall because one of the hélices hit a cable
This scene made me cry.
Is there any other way?
Nope, the helicopter just cut that crane's cable, which would've been perfect.
radiation affected your brain
he's delusional take him to the infirmary
Even though it didn't happen exactly like that, I still think the creators of the show did an excellent job with this scene.
Damn I felt stressed just rewatching the scene right now. What a terrifying series.
This was a great miniseries.
There's a crane RIGHT THERE. You'd think that would be a much more accurate delivery method
I wonder how radioactive that crane is
Probably very radio active, but every single one of their containment plans involve unwitting people fucking around in the death zone.
@@johansmallberries9874 yes but they had attempted to minimize exposure time. I can't imagine how you could do that with the crane.
lead panel the crane cabin, full protective suit for a series of operators that would be directed via radio, I'm sure there's flaws to that plan, but that can clearly be said for this aerial crop dusting method. Besides, this show has demonstrated that they were willing to forfeit hundreds of lives for the greater good.
@@johansmallberries9874 remember what happened to the knee and shoulders of the guy who had to hold the highly radioactive door open in episode one....now you are asking people to sit in a booth.
Probaply a mercy for those in the copter to have it crash immediately after that amount of radiation exposure
The plume of fume was emmiting around 1500 roengten/hour, it was in reallity very small, almist hard to see..
there is at least an helicopter who flew directly in it, the pilot name was Sergei Volodin. He was hospitalised in Kiev and the legend say he was mostly treated whit alcohol since they didn't knew how to deal whit radiation sickness ( not like Moscow specialised hospital ) . He survived and worked on the exclusion zone again.
