They distort historical facts to the point it's a total lie. I get a script may have to condense or fudge a few things for the sake of filming the drama but this is ridiculous. I guess most people won't care they are being lied to, worse yet they will repeat what they saw in the mini-series as fact for generations to come.

Russian TV is producing their own series about the incident. In their version the plant was sabotaged by the CIA. So there you go.

To be fair, HBO's next project will assert the KGB sabotaged the THREE MILE ISLAND reactor.

He knows what hes talking about. And what does that say about you for clicking away after a minute without listening to what he had to say before calling him an idiot?

I read part of the discussion and it looks like he is Total BS.

Example from discussion
Thunderfoot: The show claimed that the 3 divers were a suicide squad and all died!
End screen of said show: All 3 divers survived, 2 still alive to this day.

By the way, what does it say about you for calling something "Total BS" because of 1 incompetent youtuber who is desperate for subscribers?

There are many books on the subject.
If I cared I would check them out.
No one should rely on docudrama for the 'real story's.

I did read that Emily Watson's character is fictitious. She represents a composite of several scientists who were investigating the accident.

For those that don't actually care to watch the video and get the full context of his arguments I'll give a brief. And I'm paraphrasing since I don't feel like doing a transcript. In the mini-series they claim in the worst case scenario, neighboring cities like Minsk would be leveled from a Chernobyl melt down. They insinuated Chernobyl could go thermal nuclear. Nuclear power plants can't go thermal nuclear though they will melt down. And even if Chernobyl went thermal nuclear even in the worse case scenario, the neighboring cities are so far away they probably wouldn't even noticed any effects of such an explosion.

Except a lot of people do which is why the filmmakers have a responsibility to either say their story is totally fictional or stay as close to the facts as possible.
