Let me get this, your going to just cover it up, wow. It’s been 30 years since this disaster and man hasn’t figured out how to dispose of the waste, huh. Ok maybe. But ok.

A real life SCP.

So sad all those people had to leave their pets behind. They thought it would be 3 days but was forevermore. Dogs and cats dehydrating to death or going after each others flesh😮

"I guess it's safe"….stupidity knows no borders.

Makes me want to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Can we get Keith Morrison to narrate this?

@dillonchavez5390 April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

Russia was insane for sending rockets anywhere near Chernobyl. Surely they understand their country would be poisoned too if they opened the covering back up 🙄

Like Boris said in the series, “No No! let’s light the roof back on fire, it was so easy to put out the first time.” 😆

Why Bother wearing a Mask?

I have dreams where the radiation was none it was gone and they let me get all the control panels out of it that would look soo cool in my house ,,but the radiation,,,no thank you

@jacobellis5999 April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

Covering that should have been the highest priority of all humans but it had to take money being raised to get it done…. thats insane to me but whatever

Keep playing with nuclear.. that entire region is now unlivable for hundreds or thousands of years… and society is now poisoned.

Not forever just, The half life of uranium 235 is 700 million years so in 1400 million years it will be gone.

RIP Bob Simon, died a year after this segment

You gotta have a special appreciation for the lack of facts or information…

WATCHING IN 2024 THOUGHTS: This is now 10 years old. Those farmers who returned have to be gone, now or did the radiation serve their longevity.

@DDCastrillo April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

They were told to evacuate for only 3 days and never came back. Sounds familiar, 2 weeks to flatten the curve, and 2 years later, it was still in full force.

8:47 that old lady acrually looks like the one in the chernobyl mini series. The lady who was refusing to leave so they shot her cow

"60 minutes"
The video is 13 minutes 🙁

I was hoping for a new documentary that I haven't seen yet qwq
Well, 13 minutes will have to do it then

A just world would refuse to buy one drop of Russian oil until repayment terms could be agreed on. At least the Russians disproved the absurd lefty fantasy of a China syndrome. Proven to be just another lefty lie so many embraced as reality.

I really like the trees 🌳 all over the city. More cities should have lots of trees 🌳 in them!

@KateFrancis-eo2rp April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

Terrifying that nuclear is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels ☹.

@saintuk70 April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

I remember when 60 Mins used to be informative, well written, and well presented…. this is like something for kids TV….

@Starship007 April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

Molted mass continues to burn nearing ground water then rivers. Fukushima even worse as again no technology to deal with 3 molten cores on the water table and ocean. Eventhough ground frozen at Fukushima thousand of gallons radioactive water leaks and storage tanks are maxing out with decades to go. At least Chernobyl is inland vs Fukushima.

@forrestgump5959 April 21, 2025 - 4:38 pm

communism (moscow, kgb) lead to this horrific "accident". now they go again to Ukraine to bring terror.

I am reminded of when bald and bankrupt Channel went there and met a guy living in the ruins and helped him out a lot
