I know this was originally posted a while back, but her site was down. It's now back up with a bunch more pictures. It's an interesting, but sad read.

Many New Pictures... Thanks

Now you see what happens when you don't care about your reactor..

[tooms]

very nice site

[Flagg]

Those pictures are creepy.....

There's at least half a dozen good horror novels/movies worth of material in that joint.

Very sad. :(

What a bunch of bs for the lighthearted and dimwitted.... 300.000 people dead... What is her source? It was a tragedy alright, anywhere between 20 and 30 people gave their lives battling the flames in the first 30 minutes of disaster. Source - MinAtom. The stuff about hundreds of thousands deaths is laughable. If Cesna crashes on a cemetary and you unearth 100000 bodies - does it mean thay all died because of the plane or perhaps you are digging too deep?

Absoulotely freaky.....

Reminded me of 12 Monkeys when he comes up from under ground and nature has taken back the city.

There is a new first person shooting game comming out that takes place around the old reactor site and town.

It will be very interesting to see how spot on they get it too.

Maybe someone could help me out with the name, but its one of the next gen shooters equal to half life 2.

Thanks for that link.... very interesting site. Those photos of the "ghost town" are really eerie. Odd, being out in open spaces usually makes me feel very comfortable, but that.... emptiness.. in a city is just wrong.

I think it may be called Stalker: Oblivion Lost or something along those lines. From what I remember reading it involves mercenaries who are sent into the area to retrieve "artefacts" and other things, inevitably having to shoot each other in the process :).

Thanks for the link :-)

It's a really interesting site.

What is your source?

Not the one for the immediate deaths amoung rescue workers, the one that will prove this:

I'm not sure what you are trying to imply, but one could be forgiven for thinking that you are saying the only people that died were the 20-30 workers. And your reference for that is not amazing. Using an irrelevent bit of reasoning doesn't help you out either.


Now, I doubt that "hundeds of thousands" have died from the Chernobyl disaster too. But I may be wrong. I certainly think that there would have been many cases of cancer caused from human intake of the radioactive crap that came out of the Chernobyl reactor.

Whilst it's frequently difficult to prove that a "cluster" of cancer cases is attributable to a single cause, that doesn't rule a link out. When the cause is actually know to be a carcinogen it helps to build a sounder theory.


IIRC, some cases of thyroid cancer have been linked pretty definitively to Chernobyl.

I will dig up references for this if you would like :-)

wow...that's all i can say is wow.
