  1. I was watching this, hoping he talked about Chernobyl. Then hoping he talked about deep water horizon.
    Disasters are so fascinating to learn about.

  2. The elephant's foot is so hot it's still melting concrete and it is ranked the most deadliest and radioactive room in the world and you will die at that time in 3 minutes but now in just 1 hour and it's still melting through concrete and if it contaminates the ground water the Chernobyl may have Europe from normal europe to radioactive Europe ☢☠️

  3. One small correction, mud is vital in ANY oil drilling operation, on shore mud works the same as offshore, for the exact same reason. It keeps natural gas and hydrocarbons from getting to the rig. And causing a fire

  4. I didn't know that they were testing the electricity requirement thing with Chernobyl Plant. I had read somewhere that it was caused because of a few workers' mistakes and something like that.
    This video was extremely informative.

  5. For example the one that happened in my hometown the explosion of the SS Grandcamp 3 ships including the Grandcamp exploded and the entirety of the volunteer fire department and a bunch of people from the town came to watch the fire that would cause the explosion and once the explosion happened everybody was so close to the ship that the explosion killed them all The explosion is caused a chain reaction that caused a bunch of fuel stations to explode and the explosion and the explosion is following that cause vibrations that could be felt by seismometers all the way in Denver mind you this is in Texas next to Galveston it’s a city called Texas City Which is on the coast of Texas PRETTY FAR AWAY FROM DENVER It is called the Texas City disaster you should look it up it is very interesting

  6. Chernobyl in addition to the well known facts radiated European pastures were made useless to this day. When considering the effect of ten 16 kiloton blast bombs it is unimaginable what the 40,000 megaton Soviet arsenal and the 38,000 American arsenal might have done.
