Ok, this is truly amazing, click more to read the full story. This was by some man who posted on ps3 forums who traveled to Chernobyl a month ago and took these strange yet totally bizarre pictures which resemble the single player of COD4. This is huge.
---------------------
Alright there, this is my first post so thought I'd start with my visit to Chernobyl last month. I'm based in the North West and been doing UE around here for the past few years but last year did a few international sites including Iran, Macedonia and France but this was the one I'd wanted to do for years, considered it along with Famagusta as the 'holy grails' of UE.
Anyway, here goes:
Picked up in a Lada early on the Sunday morning and we were swiftly driven onto the motorway and onwards towards Chernobyl. I'd read plenty reports on the net if people who'd visited so I was in great anticipation for what lay ahead.
As we approached the 50 km exclusion zone around the site the first signs of paranoia started to hit. From a pretty clear day the sky had seemed to turn a murky dull grey the closer we got. Then I started to notice the driver, who worked for the government daily within the Chernobyl site violently twitch every few minutes. Was this a tick he'd been born with since birth or was it from working in the most radioactive site on earth? I couldn't help feel it was the latter.
We pulled up to the edge of the exclusion zone and documents were passed on to the soldiers at the military checkpoint. After a few minutes there we were allowed to pass and thats when things changed even more. The roads were deadly quiet. Not a single other car there or sign of life anywhere. Not surprising really seeing as the area has been off limits since the explosion 20 years ago. Not really the place you'd want to set up home. Except some mad **bleep** did. Out of all the hundreds of thousands that had to leave there homes after the accident, a few hundred had returned, mostly older people in there 80's who'd lived there all their lives. They weren't allowed to do but the government had turned a blind eye to them. We were offered the chance to go into the forests to search for them and meet them but we declined the offer. Quite what you're supposed to say to a old Russian bloke whose been living in the wilderness growing and eating his own crops planted in the most toxic land in the world apart from "Alright mate" is beyond me.
So onwards we travelled up to another checkpoint at 30km and the final one at 5km. We then travel past huge abandoned building works, cooling towers and more nuclear reactors that were being built at the time of the accident before we reach the damaged reactor itself. We get out of the car for the first time and thats when things start to set in and you realise just where you are. I'd read about the reactor beforehand about how it was covered by a "crumbling sarcophagus" that had been "hastily built" by the Soviet government following the accident and was "long overdue" a new safer containment unit. I didn't think/worry about this too much until our guide reached for his geiger counter. He'd first got the counter out at the edge of the 50km zone where it had given a reading of 20 microentgens. Normal radiation is around 10mgs. As he turned it on now though it started climbing. And climbing. And climbing. And beeping like **bleep**. Until it hit 800mgs and he turned it off. "It ok. We only staying here for few minutes"
