#chernobyl #history #disturbing
i wanted a palette cleanse, so i hope you all enjoy. there is an extended cut on patreon where i discuss myths, theories, and debunks - if you're interested :) www.patreon.com/timesix SPOILER. . [this is from the extended cut, but i'm posting this section here] Despite the intense dangers, it was not considered to be a “suicide mission” at the time. The men involved simply knew it was a task that needed done, regardless of the severity. And while a failure to act could have spread much more radiation across the area, the chance of a steam explosion causing a nuclear chain reaction that could “render Europe uninhabitable” is actively debated still to this day. While some physicists believe this could have been a nuclear doomsday, and some historians wonder if this could have sparked a possible WW3 - others argue that the conditions required to trigger and sustain a fission chain reaction have to be so extremely specific, that it would be nearly only possible through design. So to put it simply, some believe that Reactor 4 wouldn’t have turned into a nuclear bomb by accident. Again, though, that is just speculation ... speculation of an event that we are lucky to not have happened.
Does anyone else think Times6 sounds like a sexy little guy?!
Dude! This is fascinating! ❤️
That was a refreshing change of pace. There’s enough ugliness and tragedy in the world, it’s good to remember that there is much to be thankful for. Thank you T6.
This is definitely a great topic. I’m really fascinated to learn about this and similar history. Thanks 🩵
i wouldnt miss a single history related upload man its fascinating
To emphasize, these men knew that going in there would kill them. But they did it anyways and ended up living
If there is a god, this is divine intervention. They deserved to live full lives after their act of bravery.
fortune favors the bold, or some shit
To be fair, they also kinda thought they and everybody they cared about would die terribly if they didn't. Not to downplay the sheer balls and abject badassery of what they did, but does help explain their reasoning a lot, and their willingness to take that risk.
@@Joe-NathanHe does, and it was
I think you mean could, since it clearly did not kill any of them.
If I had a nickel for every time that ordinary Soviet men saved the world from technical malfunctions, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Stanislav Petrov 👍
Vasili Arkhipov
Can someone please come up with an original way of phrasing anything
@@kingamity1985no
@@Leandorz ok 😔
Those people and the other liquidator should have been recognised as not only soviet heroes, but European heroes as well.
Wrong, as world hero’s. The disaster would have effected the whole world
@@guynumber3100This🎯
theres a game made about these 3 men called the chernobyl liquidators. super cool and scary game. it does a really good job representing the stakes and how difficult their job was.
@@joshasaro4190 it says in the comment, its called the chernobyl liquidators, or just "liquidators" on steam
@@joshasaro4190 I mean he said it in his comment... "Chernobyl Liquidators"
I didn't know that, how cool
As a former Nuclear Power plant operator this hits home. We always trained for events like this. Chernobyl is constantly studied in the industry.
It certainly had a huge effect on me. I was in the U.S. Navy training as a nuclear engineer when Three Mile Island happened. That put a damper on new nuclear plants in the US. When I got out in 1984, I went to school to finish the hours I needed for a nuclear engineering degree. I was just 6 weeks shy of graduating when Chernobyl happened. That ended nuclear power in the US entirely. So, without the prospect of a job, after I graduated I went back and got a physics degree.
@Nulli_Di My plant shut down in 2013. It sucked but we move on.
This scene in the Chernobyl mini-series was fucking insane
The Chernobyl mini series was fucking horribly rampant fear mongering.
@@tylerdavis3 Care to elaborate?
@@tylerdavis3fear mongering for an incident that occurred and was resolved decades prior? Okay bro…
@@tylerdavis3wdym by that.
HBO Chernobyl was inaccurate, defamed responsible engineers, protected the guilty members of the soviet scientific community, and undid 30 years of progress in beating the soviet lies undid at INSAG-7 but old tyler here is just a clown
This is the best intro music of literally any channel on KZhead
Right? It's so cool but not over the top
Always gets me hype
It really is a good intro song
December by collective soul
Slowed down.
Always wanted to hear about Chernobyl NPP from someone like Nexpo or Maverick Files. Chernobyl is horrifying, because you can't see, smell, hear or feel thing that kills you.
Nuclear fallout has always been a particular fear of mine ever since learning about it as a child. I was born the year before the fall of the Berlin Wall so the Cold War was over by the time I was old enough to understand, but it was still a chilling concept to me.
@@sabresister yeah and i live near Leningrad NPP with two working RBMK reactors
Thank You Alexei, Boris and Valeri. Thank You and God bless You! Also, thanks to all the other volunteers who sacrificed themselves by cleaning the roof from the radioactive materials. And others who took their part in it. God bless You all! We dont know hpw bad it could have ended, thanks to these men we didnt find out. Thanks Mav.
Who else was overjoyed when they heard that they survived?
Some become heroes because they are brave and not afraid of anything, and some just because all is lost. But a few are true heroes, like those three man, that give without counting the cost
Thank you for shining a light on the story of these 3 brave men. Honestly, the word brave doesn’t even do these men justice, they did what needed to be done and didn’t hesitate.
Stories around Chernobyl have been told and retold, but it's such a compelling event that each new take can be so captivating, and yours telling really is that.
An interesting epilouge: When the Russians occupied Chernobyl in 2022, their forces dug trenches around the power plants. The problem was that doing so released radioactivity in the ground and those forces got ill due to radition poisioning.
deserved
@@alphads2000k, Fed
This is entirely made up and unverified, do you like to lie a lot on the internet?
Source: reddit
@@esotericcommonsense6366 No, legitimate news sources reported this. Just search for 'Russian troops', 'radiation sickness' and 'Chernobyl'. It actually happened.
Thanks for clarifying that they survived. Really glad to hear that.
honestly, it was kind of a relief that the 3 survived. I've heard other stories of radiation sickness until death and it's so unbelievably sad. it's such a slow, painful torture
This is the earliest I've ever been for a KZhead video...and I can already tell by the title that this is gonna be a good one!
Same brother
They’re always good my dude 👊🏻
Babe wake up new maverick files video just dropped
The title is the perfect name for a post-soviet rock band
awesome video as always dude! Btw what happened to your video about the Killdozer?
Love all your stuff, including this. Keep your head up and heroic stuff works too. Hopefully you get more traction.
I needed this. Thanks!
We Lost the Sea, an Australian post-rock band, released a track about the Chernobyl 3 called Bogatyri. It's well worth a listen.
MAVERICKFILES IS UNDERRATED AND SHOULD HAVE 1 MILLION FOLLOWERS. I said what I said. Stay gold King
Elephants foot, that is all
Camel toe, that is all.
such a good video, Timesix always delivers
barely a minute in and the editing never fails to amaze me! good jobbb :)
I actually needed a palate cleanser too, forgot this story had a happy ending, clicked on your video anyway bc fomo, and was extra glad I did :)
Aye hell yeah I ran out of stuff to watch this is much appreciated thank you:))
Great video like always!
Another grand video!! I love your voice and really liked the visuals :)) Check out the Chernobyl live cams and see the wild Przewalski's horses! Living cave paintings!!
Love abit of Maverick Files on a Monday Afterwork 👌 😊😊
I FRIGGIN' LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!... YOU WERE BORN TO DO VOICE ARTIST WORK BRO!!! GOOD JOB
Virgin "NP bad" vs Chad "Soviet union bad"
Great video, T6! p.s. Alexei is usually said as, "uh-LEX-ay" instead of "ALEX-ay".
I love the minute of nice rain at the end, gives you time to read comments and appreciate how good of a video that was
Thanks for making my work day go by quicker with this
Excellent video! I always enjoy your videos and sometimes fall asleep at bedtime listening to your Reddit stories channel. I love the intro for this channel too. Peace. Out.
This was super touching and so glad the men went on to live full lives.
excited to see what this is
LIKED IT!!!!
Idk why but the music in the beginning always makes me feel lazy lol
OMG I just got amazingly reminded of the AMAZING intro from older vids, PLEASE go back to using it I love those intros sooooo much Love the vids theyre always amazing
litteraly saw this video and said holy shit a new maverick files video! i didnt even know this one was coming out!
Dusting my room while listening
Go go gadget
Thank you for the video
Kids these days cannot appreciate how far flashlight technology has come in the past few decades.
Great video!!! Awesome job!!
I stopped everything to get here❤❤❤❤
Babe wake up new maverickfiles uploaded!!
I'm already up
This was such a cool story, with some awesome animations man
i love your work
sick metal font logo mate👍
its always the grave yard shift doing all of the shenanigans
Here we go...
This was great! I can't believe I've never heard of this part of Chernobyl.
Yayyyyy new vid!!! 🙏🏼
T6 the goat
I never thought I'd live to see a resonance cascade, let alone create one...
Nice vid brother.
This was awesome sauce
FRESH DROP LETS GO, love your videos!
I have been obsessed with the HBO series in the few weeks, so the timing of this video is pretty spooky. I love it.
that 3D animation is WILD, massive props to the artist(s)
"Emergency power shutoff button button" has the same energy as "the campfire song song"
Like 3am in the morning. I hate redundancy...lol
ugh banger as per usual
fire video … do more videos like this!!!
the big 3 they dont wanna talk about
Who's "they"? People love talking about these guys, they're among the most famous pieces of Chernobyl and the Soviets made heroes out of them.
damn 33 seconds ago lmao perfect timing. im even crafting a fallout laser pistol prop right now while watching so the video is fitting aha
They did an import and heroicthing, but in no way did they stop a megaton level explosion that would have made Europe uninhabitable. That's not how nuclear power, and especially not how nuclear weapons, work. It's really, really difficult to set off a fission bomb. However, to reach the megaton range, you need a fusion bomb, i.e. a thermonuclear or hydrogen bomb. Setting off one of those is even harder since one step is setting off a fission bomb. Neither eventuality is likely to happen randomly in a molten core mixed up with building materials to such a level that the elephant's foot cooled down on it's own. They were probably there to prevent a steam explosion that could've lead to further regional contamination (especially through groundwater contamination). Bad, but nothing like the megaton event mentioned here.
Good video liked the animations too.
I have my life to thank for these men, and gave nothing in return. I, hereby, give them my fullest of grattitudes. Thank you, comrades.
New maverick files, lessgo
Epic~ ty T6! These guys were true heroes
I was 21 when this happened and knew about these men. They have always been heroes to me. They went in knowing it was extremely radioactive and they could potentially die. I have the utmost respect for them.
Please, reupload the "BANEPOSTING: A Disturbing Fate"
Best page on KZhead
Intro song?
I just pogged irl when you said they survived such a great plot twist
the whole Chernobyl thing has stories of people understanding the importance of what they had to do, even if it cost their lives
Beautiful video
Wooooo!!!
man, i beg of you, please drop us the intro music. it goes so unbelievably hard
Locked in so early omg
The 3d is always fire
How is the animation and storytelling that good? This is multimillion dollar documentary levels coming from presumably one guy. You have a bright future ahead of you, guaranteed.
Spooky sh*t
Anytime I have to consenting difficult I think about the firemen at Chernobyl. Puts some things in perspective.
Wow . Ive been listening to [T6] lately. Thinking "these stories are kinda funny/lame but I like the narration." No wonder, Ive listened to Maverick Files for days and I just realized.
Does X6 have another KZhead channel or narrate another channel or is it only Maverick Files that bless us with this narration voice?
Yeah, it's called [t6] mostly 4chan stories.
those men are the epitome of bravery, doing what needed to be done despite the danger.
if I had to guess, The reason sources claim all 3 men died is likely a mix up with a similar nuclear incident. In which Three men died, and were buried in lead coffins. I believe it was the first nuclear disaster in history, but I cant remember the name of it.
The three did a heroic thing, but they didn't "save" mankind. It turned out that they didn't need to go in at all. The bubbler tanks were empty.
Ngl I thought the video was a Doom metal album. Not only was I wrong; I'm happy I was wrong
I think this part of the story should be told more. 💙
The reactor core, it started to burn
Thee 3 are heroes had they not done what they did the Chernobyl tragedy could have been far worse than it was. As a man who’s never been to the area but has been interested with the historical event I salute these 3. I hope they are remembered forever.
And HEY? 🎉 happy endings mixed in with…nightmare fuel? Only makes your channel that much more appealing!
Only 100 million Fell Off comments, Bro Fell Off
Currently listening to this at work. Bro you are an excellent storyteller 👌 Almost feels like im there.
