Chernobyl - What It's Like Today 

50,000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town

Chernobyl fans: The show was amazing we want season 2. Ukrainian people : wait what ????

Chernobyl - What It's Like Today...5 years ago!

The dosimeter's sound is one of the most scariest sounds I've ever heard.

Moment of silence for those who prevented this disaster from doing anymore damage

3.6M views. Not good but not terrible

My dad’s godfather died at that day when it exploded he died because he was a firefighter and they did not tell what happened

Imagine the people who lived there seeing this after so much time and recognising their belongings in the video, they places they used to go to, dine, hang out, walk... the emotional turmoil they must go through, unimaginable!

That Geiger counter sound will always haunt me.

*after 24000 years* Video title: standing on reactor number 4

He could honestly narrate in a movie

"They were told it was only going to be for two weeks" They told me that too, but its been 6 months

Explain to me how an RBMK reactor explodes

Felt radioactive, might decay later.

3:12 "you can't feel it, smell it or see it" Toptunov: "do you taste metal?"

this area is literally got time frozen, things are there how it was there 35 years ago. its like clock didn't move a second. its scary how dangerous humans can be. creating destruction to the humanity and to the nature.

3 weeks later: "I feel something's growing inside my neck".

HBO Chernobyl show comes out RU-vid algorithm to Veritasium: I'm about to make this man's whole career

My mom worked south of Chernobyl. She was operating on childrens’ teeth. She saw a whole bunch of deformed mouths, and cleft lips and pallets. This was because of the radiation, and the kids grew deformities. She says that now she has PTSD, from seeing all the pain those kids went through.

Watching this video before watching HBO's Chernobyl and watching this after the series, are two very different experiences.

Is comrade Dyatlov still in the toilet?

"You are dealing with something that has never occured in this planet before" ~Professor Legasov~

This video is surprisingly peaceful.

“I am inside an old kindergarten and it is incredibly peaceful” Try going in at night, wonder what it feels like 🤷🏻‍♂️

2:07 "It seems quiet and peaceful." Shows the torn apart teddy bear.

You can feel radiation, when it's in high enough quantities. The firefighters who were called to the reactor that morning all later reported having a strong metallic taste in their mouth, and feeling pin pricks all over their face. Unfortunately, I meant _shortly_ later - most of those firefighters were dead within two weeks. When you are exposed to so much radiation that you can _feel_ it, you're pretty much doomed.

It's amazing. I've never had any experience with radiation but the sound of the meter is hard-wired into my brain as terrifying. Something about the creeping, cracking blips just sends chills

"they were told it would only be for 2 weeks" hits a little too close to home right now

That bee at 4:13 is gonna make some pretty rad honey

I'm surprised we didn't see any bandits in the forests yelling cheeki breeki

This dude’s gonna turn into a ghoul

"Im Inside an old kindergartener" -Veritasium

you didnt see the graphite, because its not there

"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth..Sooner or later that debt is paid" -Valery Legasov

"All ghillied up" was a pretty accurate portrayal of this place. Even the ferris wheel and the dashing cars.

3:22 He’s in a forest, but you couldn’t hear any birds or other animals. Just pure silence. So weird

3.6 Roentgen. Not great, not terrible.

*Roams there without any protection* Radiation: Am i joke to you ??

I was 8 when this happened. I remember the news breaking, people being scared and I said to my mother is everyone ok? She said ... god will keep them safe. Even today... this breaks my heart because I know she tried to reassure me but every year I light a candle to remember because of what she said. We can’t forget what happened but we can learn from it.

"They were told they'd only be away for two weeks" Doesn't that sound familiar?

Veritasium: "Will my subscribers be taken care of?" Shcherbina: "I don't know."

I can feel the radiation penetrating through the screen...

When Governments say “its just 2 weeks”

at 1:48 when he went into that dark room my anxiety spiked like I thought a two-headed raccoon was gonna jump out and bite him my imagination is overactive

"Do you taste metal?"

“Why? Why are the tips made of Graphite?” “Simple.” *”It’s Cheap.”*

Government: Dont eat those berries on Pripyat Trip Advisor: Dont eat those berries on Pripyat My Brain : *B I T E I T*

"why worry about something that is not going to happen!..." "that's perfect we should put that on our money"

Dyatlov be like: Although I’m commenting here I didn’t watch this video. I was on the toilet.

6:28 This is the famous extraction point of price and macmillan

Wow that was very moving. Kudos!

It's not 3.6 Roentgen, it's FIFTEEN THOUSAND.

Whos here after watching the HBO show

My mother was 2 when it happened and she was on a train to her grandmothers they took a stop right next to Chernobyl for like 40 minutes and im so happy im fine and she’s fine and none of my brothers and me have cancer! :D

The show was brilliant. Absolutely worthy of that 9.4 IMDB rating

I'd rate this video 15000 out of 3.6

Why I get a weird urge of something about to run past the windows or doors. Lol

Its at the same time beautiful and horrifying how everything looks there

Who came to watch this after watching chernobyl series?

Walking around Chernobyl till I grow an extra arm

"A just world is a sane world. There was nothing sane about Chernobyl. What happened there, what happened after, even the good we did, all of it... madness" -Valery Legasov

watched this video before 2 years and now coming back again after watching chernobyl series

This is one of the first videos of Veritasium, if not the first one, that I watched on YT. Still very impressive and amazing. I also know that things have changed there, that sarcophagus is completely finished, and a lot of radioactive sources have been removed from the area (contaminated soil has been excavated if I'm right), so that it's practically save to stay there for a longer time or even live there again. Most impresive is how we can see the force of nature and life here. Nature is soo powerful. With all that beautiful trees growing everywhere, and at te same time how buildings and stuff made by humans all perish. It's the war in the country that currently brings me back here. It all reminds us again of the destruction that humans sadly do to themselves. But above all it's nature on the planet that survives. And also humans, but only if they choose to be more peaceful to each other and the planet.

50.000 people used to live here,now its a ghost town.

"Get out of here STALKER"

Give respect to the poor firefighters who thought it was a normal fire disaster...

Amazing video, thank you. The kindergarten scene really got me.

Your three-eyed son will be proud of you!

You know what's better than radiation? Knowledge

Watching this now due to the war...awareness. Thank you. One thing I know, mother earth 🌎 always claim back what's hers. One day, those trees will be good again 🌳

50,000 people used to live here, now it’s a ghost town

Am I the only one who thinks this is incredibly interesting and depressing at the same time?

I was just about to say the amount of Chernobyl videos after the series are to damn high, but this guy made it in 2015. Respect. A true Chernobyl fan. I visited in 2016

I've been playing stalker trilogy for so many hours. this feels nostalgic

Appreciate how exact thing has been narrated into mini series by HBO and also wanna thankyou for showing us

People ask if anyone is here after watching "the HBO series...", 90% of the comments are memes and dialogs from the series.

Who remembers the glitch on MW2 spec ops to get to this place omg you could explore evrywhere

2020: you aren't even wearing mask...

something about videos of people touring pripyat/ chernobyl always relaxes me. i have watched several different youtube channels explore these areas (both legally and illegally) and something about nature reclaiming a city makes for a very peaceful atmosphere.

verstasium: touches leaves radioactive isotopes: i’m about to end this mans whole career

*50.000 ghosts used to live there. Now it's a people town.*

Me my family was live there once and I cannot explain those hard days we spend....It was really bad time for us..... But I was really great experience in my life. ♥️♥️♥️

I'm here in August 2021, it's been 2 years of Corona virus outbreak and yet the whole world is suffering with this. Like the people of Chernobyl were told that it would last for only two weeks we were also told that it wouldn't last for long but it's been two years and it's not over yet. I wish it ends soon and everything gets back to normal...

I can count the amount of times I’ve been to Chernobyl with my fingers... I’ve been 14 times

This is the eeriest place and yet somehow beautiful.

When the Geiger counter starts to tic I feel the same vibe as the Dark series when Jonas is in the cave.

Seeing this gives so much nostalgia, the old modern warfare days man

Are you telling me there is no core? Get him out hes in shock

50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town

6:36 strong and big words rip to all the heroes who risked there lives to save ours

"Get out of here stalker."

Don't forget to take your Iodine pills.

3:12 “you can’t feel it” *grows second pair of ears on his back*

I would love to see you talk about or go into detail about Chernobyl’s elephant foot that according to others is still consuming the plant today. I’m not sure what corium is or how it can still be eating the plant away now, but it sounds like they still don’t know how to contain it.

I just finished chernobyl and i feel so horrified and emotional at the same time

The first responders to Chernobyl, which were blanketed with heavy radiation, described they tasted metal and felt a 'pins and needles' sensation in their faces.

Boris was here

Pov: you're watching a zombie movie and the narrator is explaining whats goin on

0:56 there's a building behind him that reminds me of the building from cod mw 1 mission all ghilled up
