As the years pass by people forget about Chernobyl, or never even hear about it at all. It is still a monstrous blot on the history of Russia, and the worst part is they seem to be trying to hide it.

Just how many of those poor disfigured, distorted people are there, living in squalor and misery, with nothing coming in from the government, no support or medical care??

its a long vid at 1.5 hours but describes in great detail on what exactly happened, how they contained the fire and how they built the sarcophagus.

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /videoplay was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

Pripyat Porn?

Certain parts of Pripyat will be uninhabitable to Human life particularly near reactor 4's remains for 250,000 years.
Other parts are inhabited by the older generation who lived there before.
I remember the event it was 16 days after my 17th birthday.

It was four days after my 6th, although I don't remember it. I remember my kindergarten teacher telling us about the Challenger disaster however.

Forgot what that was, but the radiation or something caused the engine to fail and the chopper to crash. I think I might do some more reading on it. Nice post though.

Yes even today any more than a minute or two in certain areas of Pripyat is enough for several lifetimes worth of radiation.
