Hey everyone, quite late in the evening to me, but I can't believe it just happened!

40,000 subscribers! As I always say, thank you all so so much for helping me get to this incredible milestone. I've come a long way since my first Chernobyl Iceberg video, and we still have so many places to go.

I want to again apologize for my absence over the past few months as I was very busy with university. But we have a few videos still coming out before the new year, which I hope you're all looking forward to.

Also, have an image of my dog, she's also happy to see the milestone.

PS: Video tomorrow? 

Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of uploads; I've been working hard on possibly my best video yet!

Few submarines evoke a feeling of tragedy as much as the submarine K-19, a story of human sacrifice, desperation and exploitation. A story equally so iconic that it birthed a Hollywood movie, Widowmaker. But a film cannot claim to do this story justice. The accidents aboard this submarine have claimed at least fifty two lives, span multiple decades, and are going to continue to make news stories for decades to come. There is a reason Submarine K-19 has acquired a poignant nickname: Hiroshima. She is the Hiroshima of the Seas. 

Regular videos will resume soon... 

Thank you all so so much for 30,000 subscribers. It's absolutely crazy to see it, and I am incredibly grateful for the continued support on my channel. As a thank you, enjoy a very fun video I had a great time making:

See you next video! 

In the seconds, minutes, and hours, after the explosion at the Fourth Unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, electrical cables were damaged, torn open. Water from the reactor poured into the narrow corridors that housed the wiring, short circuiting them. The power to the damaged portions of the building had been cut on the morning of April 26th, but this could not be permanent. The first expeditions to try and navigate under the reactor would only be possible if the electricity was turned on again. There was no way to monitor all of the cables in the collapsed areas, but they had to hope it was safe enough. A few days later, their hope was proven misplaced.

Tomorrow... 

Tomorrow... 

Hey everyone!

Good news, my exams are done now, so look forward to a lot of new uploads coming soon!

However, in the meantime, a few people have suggested I create a Discord Server for the YouTube channel.

Here you can talk to other viewers and people interested in the subject, ask questions directly and even suggest some videos!

Can't wait to see you all!

Hello all!

Apologies for the last video of Chernobyl Week being delayed. An issue came up, but it's all sorted now.

On Saturday, we will be looking at the thirty-one men and women who died in the Chernobyl Disaster, and what they did that night. Their actions, sometimes even their faces, have been completely lost to time and stories; this video will give us a brief overview of each of their stories and sacrifices that night. 

Hello everyone! Chernobyl Guy here!

20,000 subscribers. How? I can't believe it. 20,000 people who watched my videos and liked them enough to subscribe. That's almost the capacity of my local football stadium. It's absolutely incredible.

Now, as a treat for you all (and as part of Chernobyl Week), let's turn this event on its head. We've looked at a breakdown of the Chernobyl Disaster over three videos, but how about in real time? This videos is a relatively primitive version of the full video I am slowly piecing together for the future.

See you at 1:15AM Chernobyl time! I'll be in the chat to talk to anyone who shows up. 

The Chernobyl's fourth reactor is now stable, operating at 200MW, with a safe control rod insertion. In twenty-four minutes, that same reactor will be reduced to radioactive rubble. How is this possible? Today's third and final part of our series will bring us to that point, to understand the science and how what seems to be the correct decision at the time ultimately ends in catastrophe.

See you in three hours! :)
