Ride with a bike through Chernobyl, not something I would do...

Well, people do go there, this is written in poor english, but still, quite eerie story what can happen in such an accident like Chernobyl.

Did you guys feel the romanticism and the craziness of the russians ?
That was unbeleiveable...All I can say is that she has a pair...

This is the highest building in town. In a day of disaster people gothered on the roof of this builing and have been looking at a beautiful shining above Atomic Plant. This was the shinning of radiation.

Scary stuff. I was living in Rome when it happened, and the fear of that plant spread across all of Europe.

Amazing , how something just cleared out a whole city forever. People just dropped everything and ran. I give her a lot of credit for doing what she did.
It seems like there is still way too much residual radiation to be hangin out around there. I doubt that Chernobyl will become the next big tourist area.

At least you can drive around at night without your headlights on!

I want to go. You really think its unsafe? It sure would be cheap! And she is definitely hot. She can measure me with her dosimeter anytime.

I saw this last night before going to sleep. Needless to say, I had nightmares about the end of the world. (This is true.)

Very surrealistic - it's almost as desolate as what the rovers are seeing on mars...

The stuff of nightmares. I was 9 when that place blew and I remember the panic.



I am amazed at her bravery.

Look up a novelette "The Dragon of Pripyat" by Karl Schroeder.

Forget the plot; read the descriptions of the town....

Chilling...........
