Chernobyl (the nuclear disaster in Russia) revisited

[industrial_girl_2000]

I have always been fascinated by nuclear technology, especially nuclear disasters such as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in Russia from 20 yrs ago. The following site has been one of my favorite reads over the last 10 yrs, so for those of you who want to know more about how nuclear fallout can affect people & the environment, I post the following link about someone who knows & isn't afraid to blog about it.

Check out the main site too (www.kiddofspeed.com). It contains a few more photo blogs talking about a Russian election in 2000 as well as a few of her other side projects.

Awww...and here I was thinking someone started an appreciation thread .

I probably don't have to say how obsessed and knowledgable I am about the famous accident in former Soviet Russia, now Ukraine obviously. I'm like a walking textbook on it and yes, that site is one of the best on the web, especially about five years ago. Now that Chernobyl is less guarded and actually lets people go on tours though the city there's quite a few pictures and video floating around now on top of that girl's webpage, so consult your nearest search engine if you want more info/pics. I actually have my own personal mini-gallery of the cities of Chernobyl/Pripyat on my Myspace also.

What I also find fascinating to watch is all of the uploaded archival Youtube videos showing the city the day before the accident, the day of, the day after, and so on. Look it up. Out of all those young 20-something men you see shoveling debris and rubble from reactor #4 are dead now except for one, and it only happened 24 years ago. What's even more scary is how the wind picked up the radioactive particles and blew them upward all across Romania, Poland, Western Russia, Scandinavian countries and everything in between.

Cool thread

Her site is as disturbing as it is cool to see. A real ghost town in Europe.

Another interesting little exercise is to find Pripyat and Chernobyl on Google Maps or Google Earth. Even seeing it from the remove of satellite distance, it's creepy.

I also won't forget Three Mile Island incident in 1979.

Yeah Chernobyl was depressing thing to happen.

I'm so shallow. After reading the blog... which is certainly thought-provoking, moving, humbling, and more... all I can think is "What? The roads are still rideable... on a sport bike... after 20 years of neglect? We need to import some paving contractors from there!"

russia population probly tested REALLY high for road construction worker.

and three mile island was had 1 billion dollar clean up, but still even thou the one reactor is shut down, the other one is still running to this day.

the red forest interests me. anyways chernobyl is the most gothiest town ever, im sure chernobyl does feel this thread is also about her to as the world does revolve around her. hawkings can prove it to
