before 36 years from today at 1:00 am in April 1986 before the fall of the Soviet Union 5 years ago there was a human error in reactor no. 4 in Northern Ukraine it changed the whole world for many years it was one of the reasons for the end of the Soviet Union happened the biggest and worst nuclear disasters in the world we're heading to Chernobyl today we arrived in Ukraine the capital city Kyiv which is located at a 2 hours drive from the Chernobyl however, we're travelling in a different way very unusual and a little bit scary we're riding a helicopter in a bit to Chernobyl this is a freezing river we're travelling on a private helicopter like a helicopter that fell during the explosion when they tried to clean the radiations from it it was a little bit scary but we'll view areas of Chernobyl from the sky in the name of God okay? we're forbidden to enter there this is how the journey begins can you imagine there is a war between Russia and Ukraine and we'll be at the borders since Chernobyl is located by the borders alright guys, 3 years ago we went to Fukushima Prefecture in Japan where one of the nuclear plants exploded due to an earthquake and a tsunami after many people died we mentioned that there were a lot of abandoned cities people refuse to live there again because it still has radiation we also mentioned that it was the worst nuclear disaster that happened in Japan however.
. But here happened the world's worst nuclear radiation disaster when you hear about nuclear disasters in the world the biggest and worst ever it is Chernobyl there is no disaster in the world that has reached its spread the radiation traveled from Ukraine all over to Sweden and many European countries it is here in Ukraine it still has radiation and has areas where it is still forbidden to enter this radar is very near nuclear reactors it is a very strange feeling to be near the four nuclear reactors and to witness the concrete constructed on top of the reactor which exploded to dig deeper we had to rent a car and go there ourselves so, as you go there as soon as you enter Chernobyl Chernobyl is a city and the reactor was named after the city whereas many cities were more severely destroyed this was a hospital it was a hospital 37 years ago so these houses, schools and hospitals many strange things God is our protector we're currently entering city by city we're accessing Chernobyl and there is a welcoming "Welcome to Chernobyl" this is the original this is the founder of the Soviet Union they placed a status here this city is very quiet very calm and peaceful look, this is called a radar it was a secret in Soviet union they didn't know why it was placed however, in reality it is a protector and defense system from missiles this was a missile defense Soviet Union was extraordinary! this was during the cold war because they were two powers and both had nuclear weapons a vibrator, it vibrates the missile and send it back they send the missile again to America where is was sent this is near the station if the war happened in Ukraine, it will spread to the whole world the radiations didn't spread to Kyiv the most affected country is Belarus the wind rose up to Belarus and Poland until it reached Sweden imagine that!
Kyiv is one hour and half far but the radiation reached it we'll enter it now we just passed the first city it's abandoned Everything around the nuclear plant or reactor by 30Km, everything got effeted everything happened due to an explosion of one of the activators human error it's called chernobyl nuclear power plant it has 4 nuclear reactors the explosion happened in one of them reactor no. 4 which appeared in movies and documentaries when it happened Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union this is the reactor no. 4 where the explosion happened the reactor no.
4 is there under the concrete it is actually a power plant they poured a lot of concrete to block the radiations and cover it under this concrete which means there is radiations under the ground there infront of us! but you never know whether it's going to be re-opened or not or the concrete would expload. .
? and the radiation spreads again it's a very strange city there are factory sounds and calmness at the same time nobody talks I am just 2 steps away from reactor no. 4 the human error the explosion which caused the disaster the biggest in the world as they paved this road but the rest still has radiations the sound is majestic this is so wonderful this is the world's biggest and worst nuclear disaster in history in terms of diffusion, not the number of victims because very few people died when it happened and 30 died after a month people die after a while due to radiation therefore, they couldn't count the number of victims people would get thyroid cancer may God cure the sick they say around 10K to 90K people have died each country claimed a number they are not sure about the numbers, as they couldn't count this concrete is the biggest in the world and it costed 2 Billion!
imagine! the French built it it's a precast, they built it somewhere else and then moved it on top of the radioation to seal reactor no. 4 the area around the activator has been evacuated of people along 30 km in all directions all trees and plants have died and every living thing some forests turned into red Chernobyl is still an empty ghost town if you pass this area it reached 100 this whole area is a radiation area look at this sign, you can't pass here this area has the highest nuclear radiation in the world look!
it's called the Red Forest the whole trees here got affected by the radiation then they cut it off but they couldn't clean the area it's actually very tiny elements not seen by eye may God protect you all as we get closer to this area look it reached 8 already 7. 7 if we stay here for more than an hour the radiation will get stuck on our clothes as you get closer the device will make noise on it's own and it says the raditation is high and it's there this is Pripyat city guys this is the most important city in Chernobyl when you hear about Chernobyl in the first 40 hours, they moved all people to this city while promising to get them back after 3 days very few days, temporary. .
and since 1986 until this day they never came back this city is completely deserted nobody lives here and no one can actually lives here there was an amusement park here, we'll show it to you this is a ghost town the population is zero! remember in Japan it's similar here but it's so large here huge buildings are everywhere here and you can also see the Soviet sign everywhere look, it's an amusement park it's the most dangerous city as it's located exactly by the reactor no. 4 we can't place it on the ground because there are elements of the radiation she even told me not to sit on the ground look this building here.
. is here since the Soviet Union look. .
