Chernobyl (2019) - What Have They Done?

Chernobyl (2019) - We'll Be Dead Within a Week!

In April 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics becomes one of the world's worst man-made catastrophes.

I do not own any of the footage. All th credit's go to HBO, the creator Craig Mazin, the cast crew and everyone behind the amazing mini series.

"BORIS!"
"Don't use my name!"
"Russian_Love_Hammer_69, if we fly over that building we'll be dead within a week!"

This is how you do horror without jump scares and monsters.

[mPrigipas]

I just realized something. Legasov is so terrified of the open core that he does not care about being shot. But then Boris also realizes that, which is when he starts to understand the severity of the situation. Which is why he doesn't do what he threatened to do. Amazing scene.

Hated Scherbina in the beginning, cried for him at the end.

A true hero.

The only thing more terrifying than the reactor itself is the denial by so many of the people in charge.

Boris has more character development in 5 hours that most of the game of thrones characters do in 23

I love the psychological undercurrent at play here. Boris is used to being able to use fear to control the people around him but Legasov is 1000x more afraid of the reactor. And everyone in the helicopter - including the pilot - knows it.

This obviously isn't real, because as we know, RBMK reactors can't explode.

The threat of Radiation > The threat of being Shot.

[ANProductionsOfficialChannel]

The terror on his eyes. Pure panic. Adore this show.

I love how legasov explains the horrors of radiation.

“If you stand there with full lead shielding for 2 minutes, your life expectancy will be halved.”

“If you fly over that building by tomorrow I promise you will be begging for that bullet”

[andybub]

“If you fly directly over that core I promise you by tomorrow morning you’ll be begging for that bullet!”

That got his attention

[nooralassaf]

The change in Boris’s personality and perspective over time is so fascinating to me lol

[adrielsebastian]

"If we fly directly over the reactor we'll be dead in a week. DEAD!"

Chills right there. Marvellous performance by Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgård.

[benlooper]

“If we can't see, we don't know.” Spoken like a true scientifically ignorant person

[jkorshak]

One of many things I really liked in this dramatization was how Boris from the outset is clear he knows nothing about the reactor, radiation, or the problems at hand, but he is willing to learn. By the final episode he gives a clear summary of the reactor test theory and process to the court.

[ryansmart]

Just imagine if the pilot looks back at him and says “we here for a good time not a long time “ and flies right into it lol 😂😂😂

[swaminatha]

I liked how both Boris and Legasov were opposite and then worked together.

[exphorizon]

People do not realise that Professor Legasov saved the whole world. We should be thankful :)

“If we can’t see, we don’t know.”
Can you not see the ominous BLUE GLOW coming from the pillar of smoke?
