| I was in Ukraine at the time of the accident too. I'm definitely gonna go visit that town when i can afford it. I think i'll actually give her a call and set up a two-bike roadtrip (i have her digits, long story). I'll definitely bring a good digicam with me, and maybe a biohazard suit so that i can get close to those radioactive fire engines and snap some pics of them too. |

WOW. took me forever to read that...
very interesting. I remember the day when we were camping and my parents were listening to radio and it started to rain, they grabbed us and we drove away (I can't remember where) My parents were just catious, we were too far away from Chernobyl anyways.
Nice story & pics! |

interesting read, thanks!
It must be so creepy to ride through there and see no one...and to see the readings go up on the dosimeter, depending upon where you step. |

Edit: in retropect, nothing in the world compares to what I just saw!. not even our empty mining towns, I've been to one (Elliot Lake) and even though it looked very similar, there was one huge difference, no one left personals behind. In this case, they left everything behind, and many lost thier lifes, which is the worst thing to leave behind.
On another note, the U.S. just decided to begin contruction on a new reactor, the first one to be built in canada or the U.S. since this disater. |

| That was a great piece. It made me want to go see it for my self. Thats gotta be a crazy feeling to just be there in the middle of a world that has stood still for that long. Glad I clicked on the link |
