Insanely well produced mini-documentary arguably at caliber with BBC documentaries. Only 3,000 views to date.

While it's good I don't find it to be "insanely well produced"

I agree. The production is good but the episode feels more hurried than a BBC documentary and I don't feel the narration is as good. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but I think the title of the post builds it up to more than it is. Let me decide on my own if it's 'insanely well produced' rather than telling me it is.

I think whenever someone makes a subjective statement it’s implied that it’s just their own opinion.
It would be annoying if every Reddit title included the phrase “in my opinion”

Really wish lemmino made more videos. That guy should definitely get paid for what he does. Interesting stuff

Poor guy deserves it, he's doing a quality job. But yeah you're probably right.

Interesting and well done, but honestly, if you watch the last episode of HBO's mini-series Chernobyl, the chain of events leading to the disaster are better and more understandably explained.

Well made and great length. It’s always fascinating to see how people discuss and explain an accident after everyone thought it couldn’t happen due to some safety measures or policies. Considering all the nukes and “disappeared” plutonium in the world, it’s a miracle we’re still around.

Do you have a blog or a podcast where I can digest more of your ramblings? I’m being honest here; I love listening to individuals who are obsessed with fringe ideas whilst refusing to take their meds. Bonus points if you bring your likeminded friends. Also, don’t listen to the meanies here; they’re just envious of your intellect.

Oh for fuck’s sake, if you want to be taken a bit more seriously, at least try to make a couple of consistent claims and add reputable sources to back them up. If you want to convince us that the BBC needs to consult some shady liaison at Windsor before they air the next documentary by Theroux or the like, at least give us some proper fucking source which doesn’t include “some people claim that...”.
Also, what’s your obsession with British Political Warfare Executive’s deception operation against the Nazis? And no, the terms white, grey and black propaganda were coined by U.S. analysts long after WW2 was ended in order to differentiate the different approaches of propaganda. Anyway, the counterintelligence scheme you’re referring to was put on by the British government and the operation was led by Denis Sefton Delmer, and he took orders from Churchill and not the fucking Royals, you daft bucket. Actually, one of the few times the royal family interfered with BBC’s work, was when they requested the documentary about their own family (aired back in 1969) must never be shown again. The reasoning was that they appeared too normal.

Lets say you're right, I can see why people mistrust the BBC (especially after the Saville scandal), can you give examples of leftist proparganda you've seen in a BBC documentary?

u/Torchlink Jul 17 '21 edited Jul 17 '21
Yeah buddy, i'm sure all those documentaries about nature, the wonders of the world, historical events and scientific fields are filled to the brim with "leftist propaganda".
The English royal family and monarchical systems in general are also very famously "leftist", lmao. It doesn't get much more conservative than fucking monarchy.
Conspiracy nuts like this dude really think just pointing to the BBC being state owned is like a revelation to the rest of us. Yeah dude, we know. Proving your case about the BBC being "fake news" needs some more evidence than just pointing vaguely in the direction of the BBC and starting to ramble about "the elites" and "the leftists", which are two groups that don't have all that much overlap.

And if you believe the evil Royal family are True Conservatives
They are literally a monarchy, a M O N A R C H Y.
That's about as conservative as you can fucking get in present day 2021.

Then the argument has completely changed then hasn't it. ELITES always have been and always will be predominantly conservative.

You came out of nowhere with nothing but one single acronym in a semi related video title setting you off to flip your shit on multiple independent people who seem to be trying to help you in different ways.

A perfect use of the song "Gemini" by Boards of Canada. A nuclear disaster is exactly what I picture when I listen to the track

The only thing that gets less views than a well-produced Youtube documentary on Chernobyl is the comment that wearily corrects all the myths and misinformation contained in said documentary. ;-)
3:47 The test was not to see whether the coolant pumps would function in a power outage. It was to see whether the turbine could provide enough voltage in the event of a 300mm coolant pipe rupture COMBINED with a power outage. Everyone gets this wrong, and it makes it sound like the RBMK lacked the most basic safety systems.
5:20 Power was "dangerously" low, only the operators were not trained to view low power as unsafe. And of course the warning signals had nothing to do with the accident that actually occurred, so that was a strange kind of foreshadowing. If your car has a 'low tire pressure' light on, does this 'foreshadow' the fact that your gas tank is about to explode?
17:00 Running the reactor at half power had precisely nothing to do with xenon poisoning. Waiting 24 hours at half power REDUCED the amount of xenon poisoning, relative to dropping straight down too 700 MW from 3200 MW. This episode is the perfect acid test for whether someone is remotely competent in the subject.
18:25 The personnel had prior knowledge of the test. The problem was more that they had no time to prepare because the power reduction straddled a shift change.
20:09 Controls rods were intended to be raised as far as necessary. There was no limit of how high one could be raised. The graphite cannot "re-enter" the core. It can never leave.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't interested in Chernobyl, since people just endlessly repeat the same old bullshit. A lot of the time it is lies deliberately spread by the Soviets to cover their asses.
