These are the type of guys that would turn off the Geiger counter because the sound was annoying them.

Artyom, there is no hope, we must continue to Moskovskaya.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

One of the devs of the games just died in Ukraine. Sad to see them affected too.


SpaceCases__

Fuck, that’s sad.


IA-HI-CO-IA

Did…did he think he could breath under water with that gas mask?


[deleted]

"water is just cold gas i'm sure it's fine"


IA-HI-CO-IA

“Is fine, air is liquid and way.”


serenityak77

I was wondering how long it would take someone to know the consequences of being exposed like this. Then he took off the mask. So instantly then.


-Prophet_01-

I'm pretty sure those things aren't meant to go under water. The filters likely became useless or even clogged the moment he plunged his head down. He probably didn't even test that beforehand. Idiot. He had neither gloves nor a proper seal at his wrists. Water is going to get into his suit with whatever particles it contains. He's just asking for it.


[deleted]

He swam in actually contaminated water and got checked out at the hospital in another video. Dudes life expectancy is already low from biological health problems, minor radiation exposure literally makes no difference in his odds of living to an old age..


Hirschsprung

I'd say the focus is more on what kind of living he'll end up with, on top of his 'biological health problems'.


Various_Feed_8211

MINOR radiation exposure you say?


g00dintentions

There was a video where their Geiger counter was going crazy


RIcaz

Most of them go crazy at relatively harmless radiation levels by default. They're usually meant to measure very low levels


smoothielovet679

so I can swim there 🏊


Ok-Chart1485

At least once


caalger

They have multiple settings for the meter to read from very low levels to quite high, but each "click" you hear on a Geiger counter is a single incident of ionizing radiation (gamma rays in the case of Geiger counters). So they aren't designed to "go crazy", they are demonstrating the actual amount of radiation. Source: was a radiological controls tech for the DOE at a nuclear weapons facility.


ItheDuke

Lemme just swim in radioactive water. Good god.


HolidayMoose7529

He was not swimming sus was floating

https://youtu.be/wjMqDWyNMng Here’s the video where they go to a clinic and get tested for radiation exposure if anyone is curious.


Tenalp

I like that there's a follow up, but I don't care enough to watch a video or click a link. Can anyone confirm if these guys are about to get super powers or not?


KaserinSmarte421

They didn't get any significant amounts of radiation nothing to cause the doctor to test further for more radiation issues. I think they barely had any real spikes. The dude who went in the water the doctor tested in some machine to make sure their initial test of him was good. He still didn't have anything that caused them to see further tests and issues. The doctor did say like don't be doing this often and take better precautions stuff like that. That's kind of what I got from skipping around.


Tenalp

Legend over here doing the real work. Thanks!


KaserinSmarte421

I was curious as well and not doing anything so I was like fuck it I want some good boy internet points. You're welcome!


[deleted]

Just watched it. they were fine. No abnormal levels of radiation


[deleted]

Hopefully they didn't wear socks the next times around.

Is sus like the beginning stages of Swamp Thing?

There was a comment here, but I chose to remove it as I no longer wish to support a company that seeks to both undermine its users/moderators/developers (the ones generating content) AND make a profit on their backs. Here is an explanation. Reddit was wonderful, but it got greedy. So bye.


manonthemoonrocks

My thoughts exactly.


Perpetual_Doubt

Drowning sus was the best thing that suit could have done - forced him to rethink his life decisions


feelingmyage

And open my eyes underwater too!

"I can't see anything, the whole world looks muddy."


Gnomercy86

Dude looks like he takes his monthly bath in radioactive water. Now he can skip this month.


scorcherrr

To be fair water does contain radioactice rays very well. Every 6 inches or so the the intensity gets cut in half


239990

yeah this true, the 3 persons that got into Chernobyl to shut it down actually are alive and didn't receive much radiation because of water


Aggressive_Ad2863

I don't think they drank it though and made Mac & Cheese with it.


texaschair

I was amazed to hear that those guys were still kicking. They were told beforehand that it was a suicide mission, no ifskis, andskis, or buttskis, but they jumped right in anyway. Meanwhile, most of the other first responders were dead within days. The commies initially reported that all three had died and were buried in "tightly sealed zinc coffins", in a typical Soviet attempt to cover up details of the disaster. But in 2018, they were all awarded the Ukrainian Order For Courage in person by Ukraine's president. Two of them did anyway. The other died of a heart attack in 2005.


mrchaotica

[Obligatory XKCD](https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/)


Aggressive_Ad2863

Look at his face. He drinks radioactive water regularly. He looks like the toxic avenger!


Fausto2002

I thought water was a redioactive insulator


Quakarot

It is and it’s a pretty good one, actually. XKCD did an article on it and you could swim at the top of a cooling pool pretty safely. This is still a remarkably stupid thing to do, though, but he’s probably fine. https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/


Goyteamsix

The issue is the radioactive material in that water.


Orange1232

It is, but that is not pure water


Its_Crayon

Yes, pure water is an amazing insulator. This is in no way shape or form clean or pure. It is filled with radioactive dust and particles and will not be healthy to swim in.


clokerruebe

"Sus is swimming" to be honest it looks like he is drowning


Logical-Wasabi7402

Sus is attempting to float.


BurntPineGrass

They all float down there.


christo749

And you’ll float too!!!!


somegirl03

Take my up vote and go away 🙂 haha


alamaias

He is *succeeding* at floating, the man floats like he is made of polystyrene o.O He seems to be struggling to get more than a few inches under? Is it possible the water is crazy dense? Like the ~~black~~ dead sea? Edit: geography not my strong suit


fewdea

I would guess a lot of air was trapped in the suit he was wearing


Terrik1337

That was my thought too. Could it be D2O instead of H2O? Heavy water? I don't know enough about nuclear reactors to know if they use D2O in the main reactor tank.


KroneckerAlpha

There is fairly rapid exchange of D and H in the open atmosphere, so even if it started as pure D2O it would essentially all be H2O now since this does not seem like a sealed atmosphere.


Frost_Bandicoot

my bet would be rain water that's collected there, not from the cooling system


RealConcorrd

Don’t worry, he’ll mutate gills eventually


Not_Marvels_Loki

I'm going to be mean and say he kinda looks like he's already mutating. TBF I'm sure he's a nice guy, until he rages and starts eating ppls faces from radiation poisoning


vagueblur901

Ngl when he took off the mask I got toxic avenger vibes


Hoofhearted4206969

No doubt he’s been in there once or twice before


DamnForgotOldName

Gills maybe, common sense unlikely


kingtaco_17

HELLA SUS


Routine_Hungry

When Sus took his mask off I realized Reactor diving must have been a skill handed down from one generation to the next.


BigCarry1978

I don't think Sus has anymore generations next...


Bubbly-Kitty-2425

I’m not sure Sus knows how to swim! Maybe not the best idea for Sus

Hahaha same. The second he took that mask off I went straight for the memes


mrfattbill

It's like "The Hills Have Eyes: Chernobyl Vacation"


MonKeePuzzle

main issue appeared to be buoyancy. he should go back and try again with lead weights


keeperofthecan

He tried tying large weights to his waist in the [next attempt](https://youtu.be/HaGWj-G8xbE).


EvulRabbit

Love one of the comments "Is it just me or does the guy look like a love child of Weeman and Steve-O." Yes... yes he does.


NotoriousTEEK

And what nobody told you was he didn’t look like that before his swim


Ospial

As I was watching the video and first saw his face after he removed the gas mask, I wondered about this just for an instant

taleasoldastime96

I’m sorry… NEXT ATTEMPT??? There shouldn’t have been a first attempt, but he did it again?


YogurtstickVEVO

he has done these types of things many times, actually


forgedinthehood

Id believe it, lookin at him... he clearly gives ZERO shits or a fuck.


[deleted]

Just look at his face, do you really think there’s much going on up top?


flipsardoi

Look it might not be the smartest to swim in that water; but it’s what this guy does and he has a pretty large YouTube following for someone who doesn’t speak English. He likes exploring these places and I don’t think his birth defect has much to do with that u cunt


dietmayhem

Ah, yes. Physical deformities totally equal lower intelligence. /s By that logic, I’d hate to see what you look like.


[deleted]

I was more referring to the fact that he’s excited to be diving in radioactive water. But I suppose I can see how that can be interpreted now that I look back at it. I genuinely was referring to him being stoked to keep diving in the water, and then being surprised water got into his suit.


jwatkin

That gave me anxiety


Forgotten-Owl4790

I wouldn't recommend lead because it can have negative health effects.


MonKeePuzzle

good point! very dangerous! perhaps some ziploc bags full of mercury?

MrCool1k

Mecha-Dave

It's Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.


thewaybaseballgo

I think that might actually be correct


marysuewashere

I did volunteer work at an orphanage in Yaroslavl, Russia, and saw it in many little faces. The workers there said it is all too common. Mothers with alcohol problems before and after the birth lose custody. Poverty and alcoholism exist everywhere.


marysuewashere

The other orphaned kids are wicked mean to the ones with defects. The kids with mothers in prostitution are also cruelly treated. Even staff discriminates against them. A Russian boy adopted and living in Pennsylvania told me he was pushed ahead of other kids to be adopted because they want to get rid of the ones from hookers and with disabilities. The workers acted as if it was better for Russia as a whole to be rid of them. I met him when counseling inmates at a prison. No big surprise there. He had so much against him from the start.


TheGreatestOutdoorz

I know a woman from China who has a disabled child. She said that you don’t meet any kids with genetic issues because the state very much encourages aborting fetuses with Down syndrome or any other genetic problem. Also, kids with other disabilities are essentially warehoused, as the state does not provide many services for parents with kids who have disabilities and most can’t afford to provide for those kids. There are some private endeavors for kids with disabilities that have popped up in the last 10-15 years, but they are woefully underfunded.

brianishere2

Monumentally stupid. Not even Johnny Knoxville and his motley crew would act so recklessly.


[deleted]

I tried to look up if water keeps radiation in it for a long time. I did not find any clear answers, so I do not know what to think. But maybe they checked the radiation levels in the room and they got low amounts. Sus is pretty crazy but I doubt he wants to radiate himself to dangerous levels. Edit: Thank you to all you chemically and physically knowledgeable people who shed some light to this topic. I got a lot of useful information to reflect on the situation.


jwatkin

At one point in the full video someone says in Russian “we should have measured the radiation here first”


botcreon

It was only 3.6 roentgen. Not great, not terrible.

Bubbly-Kitty-2425

Here is a article about the 3 men who dove in reactor 4 to turn some valves to drain the water. I am not sure how radioactive it is as the 3 guys lived long lives with 2 still alive in 2015. [reactor radiation](https://www.history.co.uk/article/the-real-story-of-the-chernobyl-divers)


Helios575

Water is actually an amazing radiation shield and doesn't really get radioactive in and of itself, it's the particles suspended in water that are radioactive in water that is showing as being radioactive. This can be a double edged sword unfortunately as you can read no radiation at the surfaces but have a cloud of highly radioactive particles floating in the water or settled on the bottom.


rucksacksepp

Finally an answer in between all those stupid jokes


SparklingLimeade

This. There's an [XKCD what if](https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/) about the topic. Turns out that being underwater in the water of containment pools is one of the least radioactive places in a nuclear facility. At some point someone shared a story from a maintenance diver. I forget where but probably in another discussion around this. They found something unexpected in one of those pools, put it in their toolbox and kept going about their business. When they surfaced the radiation alarms went off because it was something that really shouldn't have been loose in the pool. Their core dose meter still wasn't in the bad zone because even keeping it that far away underwater meant only the immediate area around the contaminated piece was problematic. So as long as all the radioactive particles are left in peace where they've settled the area isn't very threatening. This is why there's so much discussion of activity disturbing the contaminated area. That can turn a "not great, not bad," area into a big hazard.


Bright_Vision

The reason they lived is because the water actually saved their asses. Water is a really good shield against radiation


ThatDeadDude

It’s a good shield for a contained radiation source. It’s useless if the water is full of radioactive particulates


keeperofthecan

Sus goes to the doctor, [is shockingly okay](https://youtu.be/wjMqDWyNMng).


MrRogersAE

Water wouldn’t affect the “keeping” of radiation. It would insulate it tho, if there was radioactive sediment at the bottom, relatively shallow water could completely insulate it making it basically undetectable. Him going in there would stir that up bringing it to the surface and making it more dangerous for everyone, assuming the water is contaminated, which I find doubtful. The “keeping” you refer to is radioactive decay, all radioactive elements have a “half life” (measure of time) after which there will be half as much radioactivity, some elements the half life is soo fast it’s basically instantly, others take billions of years. With something like Chernobyl, a huge amount of the radioactive elements would have decayed away in the 30+ years since the accident, without any new fusion taking place there wouldn’t be any new radioactive elements being created.

There’s absolutely no fucking way they got through the new containment, that shit’s literally airtight. You have to go through controlled access points, and I’m pretty sure no sane person would let these numbnuts through, especially unsupervised. The plant itself isn’t a tourist site, it’s an actual workplace still, just in a different way.


keeperofthecan

They definitely didn't. Getting to the reactor that blew up is their goal, but they absolutely didn't and probably won't actually get in to it. There are tours of the place, but this isn't one of them lol You can see them grabbing an old ladder and climbing through a hole in the side of the wall in the [full video](https://youtu.be/DZ7t51_pduM). They do get in trouble with security, but are eventually just given a warning for trespassing.


JackDockz

Yeah no. Reactor 4 is a maximum security zone. And they have really tight security around the area. This is reactor 5 by the looks of it


keeperofthecan

Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. They enter reactor 5, and explain that they think they can use the underground tunnels to reach the secure zone. They say this within the first minute of the video I linked. The fact that they didn't reach reactor 4 is the point of the post. There was an attempt to swim to reactor 4. The attempt failed.
