Touring Chernobyl

Posted: Mar. 24, 2009

If you want to get a glimpse into a nuclear ghost town, click here for a tour of Chernobyl, where, according to the pictures, you don't want to get near the moss.

WARNING: You may have noticed there are a lot of classless people out there on that Internet, and some of them left filthy comments on that site that you wouldn't want your kids to see.

Brian, This was an interesting site to visit. I have actually been to Kiev myself 3 times so far with my daughter and youth group. We didn't go to Chernobyl itself, though we did go to the museum that they have in town each time. I know it may be minor to some people, but you might want to warn people of some of the comments made by the commentator. I was going to leave a comment at the bottom, but couldn't justify it with the language that was used at the bottom. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but I wanted to show this to my 12 year old and have a problem with some of the comments. Just a thought.

I was all of nine years old when the disaster occurred. These photos are amazing. They brought to me a feeling that time stood still there, and the earth is slowly taking over what man left behind. Amazing--thanks for sharing.

What a shame, because of this and 3 mile island, we have given up on the best source of cheap electricity available to us. Remember...Russian engineering is junk. This is what government control leads to.
