Wow. I already knew about the reactor, but I've never seen the aftermath. Makes you wonder about some of the things mankind does.

Quotes like this make you realize how bad that accident really was- or is..

"The evil dark wind of that day brought 70% of the Chernobyl radiation here. As we travel deeper into Belorussian territory, we begin to grasp the immensity of the total area that was poisoned, and will still be poison in the year 2525. Most of the houses here are made of wood - and it absorbs radiation like a sponge."



"How many people died of radiation? No one knows - not even approximately. The official casualty reports range from 300 to 300,000 and many unofficial sources put the toll over 400,000."




"This hellish inferno became a sort of paradise for wild animals - at least on the surface. They thrive with no --humans to prey upon them, but nobody fully understands how the nuclear poisons have altered their genetic makeup, the extent of their migration or their interactions with the adjacent "safe" areas. Grotesque mutations have been reported, but zoologists deny that. "



LOL
"Zoologists also brought two American Bisons to the area, but the idea to breed them didn't work out. The male bison run away. I don't know if he run away from Radiation or from his bride, but he was last seen in Belorussia, heading west. He may have decided to return to America"



Very interesting:
--Atomic Plant--
"Usually, on this leg of the journey, a beeping geiger counter inspires to shift into high gear and streak through the area with great haste. The patch of trees in front of me is called red - or 'magic" wood. In 1986, this wood glowed red with radiation. They cut them down and buried them under 1 meter of earth."

"The readings on the asphalt paving is 500 -3000 microroentgens, depending upon where you stand. That is 50 to 300 times the radiation of a normal environment. If I step 10 meters forward, geiger counter will run off the scale. If I walk a few hundred meters towards the reactor, the radiation is 3 roentgens per hour - which is 300,000 times normal. If I was to keep walking all the way to the reactor, I would glow in the dark tonight"

All you guys really should read this.. the pictures are very eery.

Oh yeah..... I knew the photos reminded me of something- Remember those stalker video clips came out? I downloaded every one and remember that they had really awesome weather and lighting... And the town really looked realistic too.. Now that I saw that Chernobyl pictorial, I'm going to download those movies again and check them out- I wonder when that game is coming out?

[BWX]

Edit-- Oh, that was actual footage of Chernobyl, but it was for the game-- Maybe a cut scene or something. I gotta find out more about this game, it is a great concept, and best of all it's based on a real place. I very spooky place. The game engine looks like it will be impressive when the get done with it.


---actually this old one has the same footage plus in game footage- I don't really understand why they released the same thing over again but in lower res.. But anyway-
