Fide Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 52 minutes ago, Jimmy Shaker said: So are those three men still alive, did they survive their experience or not? Some sources say yes, others - like the one above - say they died immediately afterwards. I think the general consensus is that they all died within a few weeks of their mission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Fide said: Pretty accurate, as it turns out. http://chtoa.org/en/unsung-heroes-of-chernobyl-three-men-laid-their-lives-for-milion-of-others/ Couldn't agree more. Probably three of the most important men in recent human history, yet that's the first I'd heard about them. Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov and Boris Baranov. Three names that should be national heroes all over Europe. If not for them, pretty much the whole of Eastern and Southern Europe would be fucked. SPOILER! We don;t know if they managed to open the sluices and empty the tanks yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boy in my work did likewise! We were talking about episode 1 last week and he says "eh, no spoilers please, I haven't seen it yet!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say this as a joke, but I was watching this with my burd last night and she genuinely said at the end of the second episode "Awww fuuuuck I wonder if they make it". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Absolute bloody legends those three guys. Just watched the second episode while pretty hungover, would not recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Watched the 2 episodes so far and thought it was excellent, really like a series that moves along gradually. The podcasts really add a lot to it so you realise what is factually accurate or been modified to suit TV. Just a pity we have to wait a week for each new episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Watched the 2 episodes yesterday and absolutely loved it. Incredible what those 3 men did and almost as incredible how slow they actually were to actually try and do something about it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Another great episode. With all the obvious horrible stuff I laughed at the miners attitude to it all. “Are they all like that” The self sacrifice from Russians needs more recognition. According to Wikipedia 10% of the liquidators died or ended up disabled. That’s 60,000 people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Chilling scene at the end, sealing the coffins in lead caskets then pouring concrete into the mass grave. [emoji33]Just gonna watch this weeks episode now before I see any more info! The story of Chernobyl has always fascinated me since I was a kid. Really enjoying this show in a really morbid way. Superbly done emphasised by how dark as f**k it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The programme so far is really well made(apart from one of the actors accent in first 2 episodes). The wife of the dead fireman is a wid. Also am I the only one that wants to go visit Pripyat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
