Chernobyl 25 Years Later
 25 Years ago Chernobyl was headline news. On April 26th 1986 at 1:23 A.M. reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, near the town of Pripyat, ruptured a vessel during several extreme power spikes. Several explosions followed and these caused the graphite moderator components of the reactor to be exposed to air, setting them on fire. The fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. It drifted over large parts of the Soviet Union and Western Europe. 50 People died as a direct result of the disaster and it is thought up to 4000 people have died as a result of being exposed to the radioactive materials which entered the atmosphere. Over 350,000 were evacuated from contaminated areas around Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. In 2011, 25 years later, the area surrounding Chernobyl still looks like a ghost town. Fan of TotallyCoolPix David Schindler went to Chernobyl and took these amazing photos which will take you right back into time to 1986.

Re: Chernobyl 25 Years Later
Those dolls are spooky! I watched a series not that long ago called Destination Truth about the ghosts that supposedly roam Chernobyl (probably from these very forums in fact  ).Thanks for these  |

Re: Chernobyl 25 Years Later
Fucking awesome...creepy dolls. Most of the locations were featured in Call of Duty 4. The hotel from where you snipe Imran Zakhaev, The Ferris wheel, the swimming pool center.
