Radiation In London: The Poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko | Plainly Difficult Disaster Documentary

Correction I stupidly said plutonium instead of polonium! I will write 1000 lines as a punishment

Too complicated and 'spook' like for agencies locally not to be involved. Interesting that the perpetrators got away ; P

It is shameful that we refused to call Putin what he was back when he could have been removed. Now, we are going to have to fight it out in Europe anyway.

That vaugner leader that got shot down in a plane had it easy. I'd rather die from a SAM hitting my airplane than dying of radioactive poisoning.

This was so crazy, I was on holiday in London when this happened. It sounded so outlandish, like something out of a Bond movie. It frightened me, but I wound up moving to London anyway. 😂 SE19, PlainlyDifficult.

Russians are just a savage people

Story aside, that black CL65 outside the hotel is badass

I studied radiobiology and we actually studied his case. It is so sad how he died. His literal gastric lining died because of the polonium.
Frankly holding it in a cup would not be able to harm you. It's radiation radius is max 2 cm so it only destroys if you touch it. (your skin is actually stops some of the rays and the radius drops down around 1cm when contact with skin but soft tissue doesn't have a protective layer like skin) That explains bloody stool and throwing up. 😮 So smart way to harm someone. The radiation can't harm the carrier and only the one who drinks it gets the harm. So scary. Thanks for the video. I never thought I'd see this guy again

Merci.

can you imagine the energizer bunny from hell. just a drone flying around clanging together titanium and uranium all over the city.

It sounds like he was still a spy

Russia.
A true rogue state. The day Putin dies, I'll hoist the flag.

Radiation poison sounds like they absolutely worst way to go because you suffer for a while in pain before death

Jesus christ, they went to such lengths just to silence this man. Absolutely horrifying.

In 1973, I had a class with Nick Khokhlov, who was poisoned in 1956 (?) with what he thought was radio Thallium. Only much later I found the narrative in Wikipedia. This earlier event would be worth a PD episode.

This is not a disaster! This is russian terrorism inside the Europe

Small tip: Those small information tablets displayed in the bottom left can be a little quick at times. Try lengthening the time those are visible for easier reading.

You know🤔 seems like the 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ should have known about the whole "connection"

Love watching these videos for kicks and giggles, but 😅 the frequency in orphans source events makes me wish Amazon sold keychain radiation detectors 👍🏻

Dude you're gonna be wearing your face diaper for the rest of your life?

There's too many nutty assholes out there.

Oh so that's what that mewithoutYou song was talking about

What if another person accidently reused his cup?

Russia clearly murdered Litvneko, there should've been a large number of sanctions placed on Russia then like now.

Putin is such a coward. This isn't the first or last time he's done this. t(*.*t)

Russia did NOT think this assassination through. Thousands of people were potentially exposed! What would they have done if the UK had hundreds of innocent citizens sickened by a radioactive element that ONLY RUSSIA USES FOR ASSASSINATIONS???? Like--if a screenwriter wrote this plot for a movie, it would laughed off as unbelievable!

@RADIATION LONDON: THE POISONING OF ALEXANDER LITVINYENKO - ASSASSINATION IN LONDON IN 2006.

I SAW ALEXANDER ONE EARLY EVENING IN MY LOCAL TESCO. HE LOOKED UP AND STRAIGHT AT ME CLOSE IN THE ISLE, SO I GUARANTEE IF IT WASN'T HIM, THEN COULD ONLY BE HIS 100% IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHER. VERY GOOD LOOKING, VERY TYPICAL RUSSIAN LOOKING AND LOOKED VERY AWARE, INTELLIGENT 🧠 AND VERY BLOND WITH VERY HIGH CHEEK BONES, VERY FIT AND LOOKED IN PERFECT HEALTH. HE LOOKED A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GOOD HEALTH.

Im pretty sure Americas CIA already said they did this dasturdly deed? They love murdering people.....especially the innocent.

I remember my parents turning on the news about this, as I was born less than a month earlier that day, as naturally we lived near the Russian border in poland, it was interesting upon learning about it in more detail though

Alpha is the most lethal type of radiation inside the body, but outside the body is relatively harmless.

We definitely know the WHY~! Litvenenko maligned Putin's beloved KGB and FSB and he has a VERY long memory! This was much byefore they just started pushing people out of windows! One thing puzzles me a lot. He had to seek asylum. He knew the Russians were really pissed at him. He worked for the Agency so knew exactly how they worked when they didn't like you. So why wouldn't he have immediately thought poison-or at least his wife or his friend?

Now do Gareth Williams assassination!

I'd love to go over your scripts and videos before you publish them. Mispronunciation, mispellings and other very minor things lower your credibility, even though your videos are ace and your research is amazing. Sorry to be a Negative Nancy. Love your work man.

I'm not a fan of traitors to be honest, no matter where they seek asylum after the act. I'm old school. He could have just left and claimed asylum and kept his mouth shut. Asylum seekers just cost the UK taxpayer money and diplomatic trouble.

This neatly highlights why you should never, ever, EVER trust a Russian. It is in their blood to lie, steal, cheat, rape, and murder.

Still wearing a mask in 2023 😂😢😂😢😂 never worked in the first place unless its an n95, even then its just the sniffles

He succumbed to Putin Radiological Syndrome or PRS a disease spread by the FSB not to be confused with Farmers State Bank a honorable banking institution but FSB as in KGB only in completely different letters.

I hate how cucked the Europe is, just letting russia do whatever with no consequence

The thumbnail looks like Martin Freeman.

This polonium was made in Sarov.

Interesting note polnium is the only element with a simple cubic structure.

FSB should be labeled as terrorist organization in Europe

Well that's just Russia being Russia, second worst place to live right behind China

I didnt know they used prussian blue for that or they even used it on him learned something new

I get "cute radiation" from my cat who is called Paloma. Her nickname is "Paloma210".

Radiation is very frightening...

The enemies of the underpants poisoner do not fare well. Would be a shame if he were to fall out of a window in a high building some day.

Putin has been a murderer his entire career

John, Thank you for your content. o7
