I put this together using these sources.
The "WTF Russia" is in there because it is a YTMND, I know it does take away from the mood.

I was born in Belarus. Specifically, in the part of Belarus which was greatly affected; the city called 'Gomel'. My parents moved there from Minsk, after the accident had actually occured, but I was born in Gomel. I knew alot of people who had been born with missing limbs due to the radioactivity in the area and in the people. I left to immigrate to the United States with my family because of this, but I will NEVER forget the victims of this terrible accident. May they rest in peace, and may the rest of the
WTF?! The information in this YTMND is completely wrong! Only about 40 people have died since the incident as a direct result of the radiation, and nobody involved in the accident was exposed to more than 500 millisieverts of radiation but on average those at Hiroshima and Nagasaki recieved 2000 millisieverts. This is just f*cking propaganda bullsh*t.
The truth of death toll and number of people affected lies between IAEA's numbers and Greenpeace numbers. Both sides have reason to exaggerate the effects. IAEA to lesson the impact. Greenpeace to increase the inpact. Both cannot be trusted. After reading information form BBC Two Horizon documentary, it sounds more like they are endorsing IAEA's results.
5'd. Downvoters, GTFO my Internet and take an extended vacation to CHERNOBYL. f*cking retards. Why don't YOU go see how fun it is to have a Nuclear Reactor blow up near you. Then when you get cancer I'm going to laugh at you, because you're a f*cking moron. And then when you're dead I'm gonna replace your headstone with one that says PISS ON ME.
Interseting YTMND. I pity Ukraine and Belarus. (Google Earth will not locate Pripyat, BTW.) While the incident sucks, you should note that nature is doing OK there. (Google the photos of "KidofSpeed." While her "tour" is fake, the photos aren't.) I have been facinated by the Chernobyl Reactor 4 incident since 1986. Also, Hans Zimmer kicks ass. Stronium and Graphite radiation suck, but the health affects are not as sh*tty as the WHO says. Great YTMND.
The problem was caused by how the reactor was built, it was built to prevent accidents, and not stop them while they were occuring. BWR's PWR's and PHWR's all have many layers of redundant accident prevention systems as well as systems that correct and deal with a LOCA (loss of cooling accident) should it happen. (such as the vacuum building and the emergency coolant injection systems featured on all CANDU reactors)
Time to f*ck up some downvoters. Firstly, if you think people dieing slowly due to cancer because of radiation is funny, you're some really sick f*cks. Secondly, YTMND is NOT, and I repeat for the twenty ninth time, NOT just funny sites. If you don't like educational videos, don't vote. Thirdly, communism was ONE part of the multi-part reason behind this explosion, not the only one. He even said that in the video.
Dyatlov lived 12 more years after the accident. He was previously a sub captian and had been exposed to high doses of radiation that should have killed him before. The fact is that the younger the person is, the more negitive effect radiation has on them. Dyatlov died in jail, still proclaiming he did everything as he should have. In some ways he is right, he did not know how unstable the reactor gets at low output.
