"Ghost Town" and "Land of the Wolves"

*Anarky* · 01-07-2006, 05:16 PM

You all might remember, back in 1986 there was something rotten in the state of Ukraine (CCCP back then). Actually, a whole lot was rotten. Some of you might know what I'm talking about, others weren't even born back then. Aren't we old, people? Anyways, back then, the big accident at Chernobyl nuclear plant happened. To cut a long story short: A reactor blew up, huge fallout issues, russians of course not saying a word, swedes find cloud, 200,000 people evacuated. If anyone wants more info: Wiki is your friend

Nobody goes there anymore, there's nothing to see and nobody lives there anymore, it's a ghost town. Eighteen years after the accident, a young woman took a trip to that area. But this is where the shadyness begins. She claims to have taken the trip on her motorcycle, which should be impossible, because motorcycles aren't allowed in the contaminated zone. But then again, the former soviet union is sort of known to be a little more corrupt than other places (sure, corruption is everywhere, but in some places it's more obvious than in others). So I just go by the story Elena tells us. She went in there on her bike and took pictures. Lots of them and all of them are really impressive.

I just wanted to share this with you, since I am very impressed by this. There are two stories so far, "Ghost Town" and "Land of the Wolves", and I hope she'll post more in the future. It is very interesting and shocking at the same time.

You're not going to see any corpses or gore or anything, you'll just see pictures that speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy this documentary as much as I did. Feel free to tell us your thoughts and impressions on this subject.

Chernobyl is actually in Ukraine, not in Russia.

I'll post more deeper thoughts on this topic tomorrow. Now I'm exhausted,

Okay, you win. One more reason to invade Poland. I'll correct it right away, thanks.

So, these wolves, do they prefer their meat flamed royal or grill?
