Chernobyl: April 26, 1986
From a book of photographs of Chernobyl, the control room of the nuclear power plant:
The Chernobyl Poems of Lyubov Sirota, a resident of Pripyat who observed the explosion and suffered years of effects from radiation sickness.
Photos of the area taken by her son 12 years and 14 years after the accident.
More photos of the Chernobyl area taken from a motorcycle.
Some tourists companies have been trying to arrange extrim tours in this town, but people- their customers scared and have been complaining about silence which is hard to stand in empty town. They charged 210 us dollars for 2 hours excursion and town guard say, they all were leaving in some 15 mins, complaining that silense is tremendous as if one got deaf.
People had to leave everything, from photos of their grandparents to cars. Their clothes, cash and passports has been changed by state authorities. This is incredible, people lived, had homes, country houses, garages, motorcyles, cars, money, friends and relatives, people had their life, each in own niche and then in a matter of hours this world fall in pieces and everything goes to dogs and after few hours trip with some army vehicle one stands under some shower, washing away radiation and then step in a new life, naked with no home, no friends, no money, no past and with very doubtful future.
