That's some cool stuff. I found that about three years ago, and was just amazed at how large of a "dead zone" was left from that tragic event. The river flow jammed with huge ships is my favorite/most real image in my eyes.

 

I would have loved to get some photos myself .. what an amazing experience to have had :-)

and then she says about the deserted streets and towns and how the silence is deafening ..it must be so very eerie ...






"Standing on the roof of the highest building in this empty town brings a feeling of being completely alone in the world - like this whole town is."

 

unfortunately it is a repost [&:]still worth reading though for those who missed it

 

Yep, very tragic story, but she wrote about it very well. Definitely a 1 time experience.

 

^ LOL, yeah any more times and you'll be fatally contaminated! Not really, just though it was funny

 

that was interesting, but I am not that curious to go there, pics are good enough for me

 

I agree ..lol ... I think it would be great to have the experience of having done it (once) ..lol ..
I am happy to have just read it though and seen it all through her eyes ...

yea I read the whole thing...was interesting, I didnt know radiation just hangs around like that....and why did they have to cut down the glowing red trees, that would be a sight to see
