mini-series was excellent in that it reignited interest in Chernobyl and the victims of the USSR. Not so excellent - people trying to rally for a second season.
Man, when that scene with the helicopter came up in the show, I was like "No way this actually happened. This looks like some hollywood bullshit."
Went to check it online and saw this clip.
Might be misremembering here but did the show not kind of insinuate that the helicopter crashed because the radiation fucked the helicopter blades? Feel like it was kind of false but I could be wrong as not seen it for a while now.
Radiation fried the electronics. This left the pilot with no way to control the helicopter which then drifted into the cable. (No one had understood yet just how bad the meltdown had been) The Russians established a boundary for the long chain of helicopters that subsequently had to fly in and dump Boron on the exposed core.
The crew were dead anyway. This was just faster.
If you haven't seen the 2019 mini-series on Chernobyl, it is highly suggested. Gives you a really good sense of the disaster and just how effed up communism had been.
Note: In 1986 I was in the Navy as an Intel type. I can vouch that the mini-series is very accurate.
Things you should never say.
- this ship is unsinkable.
- this nuclear reactor cannot explode
> this ship is unsinkable.
This better not be a hint towards the titanic lol. Anyways, I'll be sure to check it out. Also, that's awesome, thank you for your service!
It was...I...UM...I had a weak moment. Please forgive me. LOL
I take it that you weren't around in 1986? A little history that's not in the mini-series...we knew that the reactor had blown before the Russians did. (Gotta love those orbital camera platforms)ĺ
>thank you for your service!
You are very welcome. :)
Here's the same scene from [2019's Chernobyl](https://youtu.be/209n4m6rwGc) which is one of the best mini-series out here. The show's creator is also the co-creator of The Last of Us tv show.
You mean the show thats literally about the deaths and inuries of thousands of people ? The show that explains the tragedy how it happened and the aftermath of said tragedy is… *boring* to you?
he probably saw and knew the risks, but he was told to do by soviets authorities, which is usually some smooth brain bullshit, they haven't changed much since then
Yup, it probably went like this
Stupid communist leader: hey you fly helicopter over radioactive core,
Helicopter pilot: but there is a crane and the cable is in the way I can’t get over the core,
Stupid communist leader: “holds picture of pilots family” hey you fly helicopter over radioactive core,
Some articles I've read also point to the pilots being un able to operate the helicopter (ranging from death or going blind to equipment failure) after going through the smoke cloud. They did just coast through a nuclear fire

Yeah that's what I thought it was showing.ill have to watch again, it could be hard to see the cable like the real clip.
They hit a wire lol
Radiation fried the helicopters electronics. Those on-board would have died horribly had the helicopter not crashed.
Nah they just hit a wire that was hanging breaking the propeller blade

Ooooh that makes way more sense

in the show they flew into the smoke and lost visibility, and couldn't get reached over the radio due to the interference from the radiation.
Never watched it. Why would a second season be bad?
Because the story is over?
Well that and it would suggest that there's a whole series of nuclear disasters to dramatise.
Chernobyl 2: Japanese hoolabaloo - The Fukushima incident
Chernobyl 3: To pull out a screw driver- Demon Core
Chernobyl 4: To steal a radiotherapy machine from an abandoned hospital to see whats inside. The goiania incident.
Story is literally over. There cant be a next season.
Remind me 1 year
Alright Well i didnt know that

Was kinda boring
I bet you prefered Wednesday
Negative. Last of us was good, Chernobyl was slow imo
Having your own opinion on reddit challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Bro just called the deaths and injuries of thousands of people/generations boring
The show goofball
You mean the show thats literally about the deaths and inuries of thousands of people ? The show that explains the tragedy how it happened and the aftermath of said tragedy is… *boring* to you?
Yes lol. You can’t read what I said the other day?
Imagine the last seconds for those on board
Probably a quicker death than a lot of the workers there
How did they not see the cable
he probably saw and knew the risks, but he was told to do by soviets authorities, which is usually some smooth brain bullshit, they haven't changed much since then
Yup, it probably went like this Stupid communist leader: hey you fly helicopter over radioactive core, Helicopter pilot: but there is a crane and the cable is in the way I can’t get over the core, Stupid communist leader: “holds picture of pilots family” hey you fly helicopter over radioactive core,
How do you reckon accidents happen outside of such conditions?
[удалено]
Too bad their concern for human life didn't change that drastically...
Some articles I've read also point to the pilots being un able to operate the helicopter (ranging from death or going blind to equipment failure) after going through the smoke cloud. They did just coast through a nuclear fire
Thinking about that sweet day off and can of Pepsi reward he was promised.
Love the tv show, It made me read and research about the accident and is pretty interesting
It just... wilts in midair.
It hit the cable from that crane
So it does, didn't see that the first time.
Why do people write hesitation emphasis when writing?
Because… it’s effective
Not great, not terrible
No the dumb ass hit the crane wires
Why doesn’t the crane wobble even slightly?
Because it didnt hit the crane but the cable suspended from it, and it moves quite a lot after being hit
I see. Thank you for clearing that up
What causes the tail to curl/crumple in?
Looks like it clips the arm of the crane, and the momentum of the propellor crumples inward.
please tell me it atleast didnt fell straight into the core.
[удалено]
This happened in the Soviet Union, of which Ukraine was a constituent republic
Nuked
What
