>Stopped other colleagues to enter the radioactive room
>Went back and forth into the room himself 3 times
>Prevented a big explosion that could make the disaster even worse
>Took 25 Sieverts home and had dinner with lovely wife and called it a day
>Went back to work the next day
>Refused to elaborate and fucking died

Aleksandr Lelechenko, the man, the myth, the legend.

These people are still not as toxic as the entire of the Twitter community.

Hisashi Ouchi still had by far the most painful death I've EVER heard of it's truly horrifying what he went through.

a guy in Brazil took 12 sv and survived... died later of alcoholism

I think the scariest part of Louis's story is that once everyone in the room realize what happened, they started to run out of the room, but he screamed at them all to come back as quickly as possible, and get back in place, because it was going to be the only way they were going to be able to calculate the amount of radiation everyone had just been subjected to.

It was the family's call to keep him alive. The second they finally agreed to sign a DNR the doctors stopped resuscitating him. The whole 'evil scientists expermient on ouchi' thing is kind of an urban legend.

The way he casually says “a nearby city, Moscow” shook me. A panic that large could destroy the capital in an instant, no wonder it was kept secret

[breezetix]

the fact that Vasilev only got flashed by radiation for just a few ms (correction 0.2ms) and still received 60 sieverts, that's insane. radiation is scary

Problem is that Slotin brought his demise upon him self. He used a screwdriver instead of the spacers that were provided to ensure that full sealing was impossible. He played the game of f*ck around, and he found out.

Ouchi's medical team wanted to let him go. But he was kept alive at family's wishes. Ouchi survived after 3CPR as there is no DNR record. His doctors let the family saw him every day to understand how serious it was. Ouchi by himself was asking whether he will get leukemia on Day1, not knowing how serious this situation is. After surviving CPR and skin sloughing off, the family finally signed DNR after many counselling. It is the family who could not let him go. They want him to live with every challenges and suffering he was facing. There is a documentary with his medical team in Japanese. You have to watch it first before u blame doctors. If there is no DNR documents, doctors must keep trying him alive till the last beat of his heart or else they would be at fault by not following health care proxy wishes and doctors can be legally sued and charged. So stop blaming doctors.

Correction: Ouchi was not kept alive by mad scientists. And his family didn't just tell them to revive him. There are many small hopes during Ouchi's stay that suggest he's getting better. The medical team did question themselves and the ethics of keeping this man alive, but they were just doing their jobs, which to try their best to keep him breathing. When they knew that the machine and drugs were the only thing keeping him alive, they immediately let the family know and suggested not to revive him when he went under again. The family complied with what the medical team suggested, both the decision of keeping him alive and letting him go was described to the family in detail. There are some videos that went into depth that there is no strong evidence of malice from the medical team or the family. It's just a rare events that nobody knows what the right answer was. So stop labeling them as selfish and mad scientists. His son is likely 28 years old. I felt bad for his son to hear that some internet ppl described his father's cruel death and his family accused as being selfish and the doctors that tried their hardest as being mad.

Lelechenko deserves so much more recognition than he gets, he sacrificed himself to keep his coworkers - and a massive amount of Europe - as safe as they could be. As dark as it is, I’m glad he was able to have dinner with his wife.

For people wondering, The blue flash is called the Cherenkov Radiation. It happens when ionized particles travel faster than light through a medium

[uhum]

Ouchi's story is so misunderstood. he was not kept alive for science and his family wasn't evil only once he said that he didn't want to stay alive, but he decided he wanted to do it for his family.

As someone who sometimes has trouble hearing, I appreciate you taking the time to add in captions into your videos so I don't have to use the automatic captions (because the automatic captions are usually inaccurate)

[vasilediana]

In regards to Ouchi's case, he was not kept alive for the sake of science, but because of the family's despair. Since euthanasia in Japan is pretty much prohibited, it was a huge possibility for the doctors and nurses to lose their jobs. That was until dr. Maekawa convinced the family to sign the DNR contract, in order to let Ouchi die.

[ahwass]

I can't imagine the conversation between Lelechenko and his wife the night after his exposure at Chernobyl. "Hi honey, today I took the equivalent of 250k X rays to the face"

[SalviAlmighty]

The K-19 incident gives me shivers.... It's so surreal to think "I have to do anything to prevent this. I know I'm already dead, but I need to keep going."

Note: Hisashi Ouchi's case is so polarizing because he definitely shouldn't have survived that long. His story is a deeply tragic one, but we need to remember that he personally agreed to continue treatment very far into his hospital stay, at the request of his family. Out of all of this pain and suffering, the medical field did make ground breaking advancements in radiation treatments...

Thank you for adding captions on your videos. I have APD and I struggle to understand people even speaking in my home country, but accents are a whole other challenge. I love your videos and I'm so glad I'm able to watch them!!
