Inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone (2014) | 60 Minutes Archive 

Those white dots on the reactor room footage is literal radiation interference

Tragically, Bob Simon died less than three months after this piece was released, though it happened from an auto accident where he wasn't even driving.

They released this video right as the news broke of Russia taking over Chernobyl Smart 😏

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

Everything with Chernobyl is interesting and facinating!

Sad to see, where our Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian grandfather's died in Chernobyl to protect us their children and grandchildren , and look at us now we are killing each other 😢

Here we are in 2022 and Russian soldiers invading Ukraine dug trenches near Chernobyl. They have acute radiation sickness from being exposed to the contaminated soil and breathing in the dust. Even after all these years mankind has not figured out a way to clean up the disaster, hasn't learned the lesson that meltdown taught us...

4:54 nostalgia to every one that played modern warfare 1

Interesting timing, I must say.

I remember when this happened. I was 14. It was on the news everyday. It was sad cause there were people sick.

Funny how there's people living just fine in"the most radioactive area in the world."

The red forest near the area is unlike anything ever seen before in this world, very beautiful, yet very deadly.

Some of the best RU-vid Channels covering Chernobyl are Bald and Bankrupt, BioNerd23 and Shiey

The Russians now hold Chernobyl NPP. The most decisive fight is taking place in Hostomel airport. Ukrainian Army is counterattacking the Russians there.

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

Amazing time to upload

I love how he says "ill" like in a common cold or a little cough mean while they were actually melting and decomposing

38 years ago today…

Interesting timing to post this. I wonder what the Russians want with it, especially after detaining the crew keeping it safe.

It's one of my intresting topics,But i am so curious to hear it from your channel

That lady in the woods, does she have one arm or two? Why wasn’t that brought up!?

What a timing

"an enginnering effort the likes of which the world has never seen"?? What about the Colosseum in Rome, 2,000 years ago? Or the pyramids, 4,000 years ago? Each of these engineering efforts hasn't lasted half the time that the Chernobyl site will remain radioactive. In 600 years, no one recognize the words "cold war" or Soviet versus the West. Take pride fellow citizens of the third millennium. Chernobyl is our gift to the ages.

Bob Simon was the best

Can you please put closed captioning on your videos? 🙁

Please remain calm.

The arc is already over the old sarcophagus

Scary!

A trace of leakage can not be observed or noticed

Pectin could of saves lots of them. And the sad thing is many probably had it right in their cabinets.

5:27 I think I saw the barrel of an M-82 poking out the window

Bad timing bruh, they at war lol

I am reminded of when bald and bankrupt Channel went there and met a guy living in the ruins and helped him out a lot

8:40 The closer he gets to Chernobyl the stronger he becomes.

And now Chernobyl is occupied by the Russians

"Chernobyl is Forever"

Never 4get....

Dear Lord what happened this week

I hope somebody was out playing "vinimane! vinimane!" On speakers.

30 August 2022 Gorbachev passed away at 91 yrs of age. He was the last leader of the USSR

Dam what timing I might add.

I played this map in MW2

Wondering why Russia got to Chernobyl 1st than Kiev? What r they looking for that only top ex-Soviet official knew?

I saw on another recent video, how wildlife is thriving. Also stray dogs, - the descendents of pets, are doing okay.

Thinking about the hard working and tough folks of ukraine. Russia and soviet union always gave them a difficult time.

I wonder what will happen with Chernobyl and this project with the war going on? What would happen if Russia annexes this zone?

And they all get cancer after THIS right ?!! I WOULD MEAN THAT NO LIE HERE !!

Ironic and emotional if you’re watching it like now… March 19, 2022… people died because of the catastrophe in April 1986… and now Ukraine is under siege. Who would have known 😢

I'd like to go and see it

Why aren't they wearing protective gear?

😮 3:05

Thanks so much for the video and info. I wish All the best, well not so much Putin.

HE IS RIGHT IN THE END ---- '' CHERNOBYL IS FOREVER ''

Sounds like a bad case of Herpies , just never goes away. Prayers for Ukrainian people

My question is why are they walking through it, still highly radioactive

Ah yes, a model of Soviet modernity. So much for that.

I’m amazed it took them THAT long to cover the exposed reactor? Wtf

My question is how did that person get that close to the elephants foot and are they dead?

If it’s still deadly. How are they working right by it? Just curious.

All I remember about Bob Simon is Jaguars in Africa

60 minutes but yall do 12 minute videos

Russian artillery: that pile of radioactive debris next to Chernobyl looks dangerous. Would be a shame if we exploded some shells in it and released a radioactive cloud over Europe. *does exactly that*

Nothing good ever came from splitting the atom, the building block of life. 😞

Molted mass continues to burn nearing ground water then rivers. Fukushima even worse as again no technology to deal with 3 molten cores on the water table and ocean. Eventhough ground frozen at Fukushima thousand of gallons radioactive water leaks and storage tanks are maxing out with decades to go. At least Chernobyl is inland vs Fukushima.

Welp

Taller than statue of liberty and wider than yankee stadium…anything but the metric system

Construction was done several years ago

The power is forever. Correct. Just wish this part of history never happened.

wow

2011. A 9.0 earthquake strikes Japan and Godzilla. A tsunami hits the Fuckashitta power plant. People start talking in English ! Pets start making laws. King Kong wants a re-match. And soon - everything gets crazy !

Uhhh... Do not post old slightly related videos for views because of the War and the fact that people will use key words to search. This is seriously and pathetically unbecoming.

🎡 50 thousand people used to live here.. now it's a ghost town 👻

The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, or as it's known to Russian soldiers: KIA Campgrounds.

Russian media states that it’s a joint security between Ukrainian and Russian soldiers 🤔

I'm sure it's safe. 🙈 why take the risk.

Anyone else recognize most of the stuff in Pryipyat from CoD Modern Warfare?

5:07 Call of Duty : Modern warfare 4.

Wow, Russia is trying to take Chernobyl as we speak just as this was uploaded. Ps: I’m curious about how this comment is going to age.

And now all that in Russia’s hands 😶

I like it

the population is not 0

spent fuel is still there ukraine just recently got permission to moving it out from chernobyl

IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR COUNTRY....THEN YOU HAVE TO SELL IT.

In USA they call a worker at McDonalds a hero for working during Covid .. These people who did the cleanup are Really Heroes. May God Bless Them !!

Full of spoilers for non stalkers. Evgen thinks that place is 'sacred'? Must be monolith...

Soviets are easy to spot

Que estarán planeando los rusos para ir hacia Chernobyl

One thing we all have to remember. The Russians - are not in a hurry...

Now the Russian zone

Soviets killed Simon

IT IS MILLION YEARS FROM NOW AT !! Proof me wrong THANKS a lot !!

Tell Putin

Hiroshima Nagasaki

Electric companies in the U.S. get to abandon responsibilities per Government contracts, the cost to the taxpayers from which (security & containment for generations) should be calculated in with the actual cost of using nuclear energy as a "clean" (invisible) energy source!

It will be Russias problem soon enough not Ukraines.

They Spied On Trump’s Campaign, Leslie!

Funny timing indeed, I feel like this propaganda. The US may not have a disaster like this, but has come close. Three Mile Island was a close call.

And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27 NET But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 NET For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NET Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 NET Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:5 NET For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Romans 8:14 NET The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him. John 3:36 NET Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, Galatians 6:7 NET For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, Hebrews 10:26 NET Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the way is spacious that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it! Matthew 7:13-14 NET Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 NET And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14 NET

what a wuss... LOL

Why do the Russians want this so bad 😂 What a project that will be to get anything productive out of it again
