    And just like with Jamal Kashoggi the enquiries went nowhere. Such a corrupt world we live in.

    If Putin came out and said he did it absolutely nothing would change or happen.
  • @FascinatingMr
    That physicist's explanation about contamination was very unsettling. Scary scenario indeed.
  • You know, I can’t help thinking about that teapot. Does anybody else wonder if the hotel reused it for other customers before it was taken as evidence? I’m so curious about potential collateral damage...
  • Thank you so much for the upload - I used this as a really good information source as I've just made a video on Alexander Litvinenko - Its so tragic what happened :( x
  • @mdharmaraj1631
    you cannot expect decency and compassion from ppl who dont have it ..
  • @AlonsoRules
    This was so close to the most perfect murder ever conceived. Had that scientist not overheard a conversation and recognised the signal, it would never have been solved.
  • @birdyelke775
    It's outrageous the way normal/common people are search on the airport but unpleasant people entering the country with violent poison and they'd make their way, to poison an individual with no mercy on the territory is unbelievable. Am flabbergasted.
  • @unaninanine3743
    Litvinenko was a top security officer and knew how his home govt operated. He'd been warned specifically. And yet he agreed to meet with his people. He fell violently and inexplicably sick after the first meeting. ... then he went for a second meeting? He was definitely suicidal!
  • @libertyquest
    I remember when this happened I cant believe its benn14 yrs
  • @brinjoness3386
    Umbrellas and tea pots. The Russians do have a sense of humor.
  • @lazydog4966
    The investigation should focus more on where the polonium ended up at after it was poured in the drain... cause theres definitely something there
  • @trkg7356
    Kinda disappointed to not see a single comment about how this might have killed several other people who have been in contact with the tea pot afterwards, or might have even gotten served tea with the exact same pot after it had been contaminated...
  • @InfoSecIntel
    It’s pretty crazy, if you think about people who have gotten away with murder that are still living out there and we know about them, there aren’t that many people. It’s ridiculous that a leader of a giant part of the world is one of these people.

    Great documentary, main points were very well told. Chilling mood.
