Chernobyl: Ghost Town

I saw this several years ago.

Scary stuff. This is why you do inspections, however, the Soviets probably couldn't afford to fix anything even if they had known about it. They bankrupted themselves trying to build up their weaponry against us. President Reagan was a genius, he made them beat themselves.


I was born not far from TMI, just after the "accident" in March of '79.

I think I'm ok. :D

yeah, that site's been up forever, just remember the story's not real. though many of the facts are right, most of the pictures are stock photographs of the area. She was just part of a tourist group and most of the pictures of her were taken completely away from the sites where she says she took them.

I think the sites been revised from the first time it went up, but just thought I'd throw it out there (slashdot covered it two years ago and she admitted her entire trip story was made up).

Re: Chernobyl: Ghost Town
 

man,that is some scary stuff.just think,that almost happened here at t.m.i. buster,where are you from?im right down the road from t.m.i. in lancaster

Re: Chernobyl: Ghost Town
 

three mile island was nowhere close to what happened in chernobyl. It wouldn't have been good, but it wouldn't have destroyed the ecosystem for a trillion miles either.

btw, wildlife has returned around chernobyl and is able to cope with the high radiation (2nd and 3rd generation wildlife). They've suffered various mild mutations, but nothing that affects immediate survival (those that have are, you know, dead).

also the greenpeace guy (founder) finally admitted he was wrong about nuclear power... about 30 years too late, but its nice he finally came around.

At least President Bush knows what capital letters and punctuation are. BUUUUURNNNNNN. :)

Let's see how you'd handle an evil nation threatening to blow you up. The simple fact that we defeated a nation who was trying to take over the entire world (yes, the USSR was already taking over South America and Latin America...we were next) WITHOUT having to fire a single shot shows how smart Reagan and his Cabinet were.

Oh well, back on topic...here's a great site with information about the accident: [URL="http://www.chernobyl.info/index.php?userhash=13385722&navID=10&lID=2"]http://www.chernobyl.info/index.php?userhash=13385722&navID=10&lID=2[/URL]

This is another reason why we shouldn't let an irresponsible nation like Iran attempt to use nuclear technology for ANY reason, for energy or for weapons. If you don't know what you're doing (and I doubt that insane leader of Iran does), you're going to kill a LOT of people and make that part of the Earth inhabitable for the rest of time.

That's a pretty cool site. Those towns look like they came right out of the Twilight Zone.
Her trips to WWII battle fields are interesting as well. She seems like a pretty cool chic. I really don't think she is lien.
