Seems you can take a tour of Chernobyl and get pretty up close to the plant that exploded. This guy went on the tour and took a ton of pictures which you can check out here. Looks freaky. [Pictures]

damn,most of these pics remind me of the sniper level(the one after ghillies in the mist) in cod4.
uh..is that from call of duty 4?(kidding) it looks very similar in the game and the town is a scary ghost town!
mark i was hoping that you would put hyperlink “Chernobyl” with what was it actually for those who didn’t know WTF is it? :)
Well for those who didn’t know actually what Chernobyl is, here you go:

This town is ghost town. I’ve seen a program on the History Channel the other day where they are trying to determine what would happen when humans go extinct (Yeah I know). They showed videos of Chernobyl now since no one lives their anymore. I was surprised how mother nature took over. The place looked like a city abandoned 1000 years ago!!
Amazing Mark! I had no idea about this whole incident! You should cover more historical places. In fact, I can recommend one place- world-renowned for being haunted. If I pay your tickets and accommodations, would you cover it and take pics?! ;)
You certainly can.
My friend was telling me about it this summer and how he really wants to go. They even give you an anti-radiation suit. Because of the high levels of radiation in some places, you are allowed to be there for a limited amount of time.
Umm Amazing Looks like COD4

Did this Dude glow green after this tour ??
is B-sides a reference to the Dave Matthews band?
Radiation sticks around for thousands of years, so I’d stick to watching the pics right in the comfort of my home. Godspeed to the photogrpaher.
Hey Mark,
Thanks for the post. I had heard of this accident in 1986, but didnt really understand the magnitude of it.
