MOST OF THE INFORMATION HERE WAS TAKEN FROM WWW.ELENAFILATOVA.COM. This video is a part of the footage shot by Vladimir Shevchenko just days after the Chernobyl Disaster. Schevchenko made a trip with a cameraman to the nuclear plant. They witnessed the evacuation of Pripyat, the brave attempts of soldiers and workers to limit the effects of the fallout, and many more. The film "Chronicle of Severe Days" was created with the footage. Schevchenko died just days after his trip, suffering from the severe radiation. This six-minute long version includes: 1. Pictures of workers digging under the reactor. They aimed to stabilize the the melting base of the destroyed reactor. The people had NO PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. 2. Pictures of the workers ON THE ROOF, who were putting radioactive debris back into the radioactive container. Schevcheko made these pictures on the roof himself, and probably there he suffered from excessive radiation. 3. Schevchenko shot a falling MI-24 helicopter. The helicopter is flown directly over the destroyed reactor container, and the pilot might have suffered excessive radiation Please visit visit www.elenafilatova.com for more information, videos and modern pictures of the Chernobyl area. I believe that this video has originated from there. Cheers.
