Chernobyl

[Mr. Peanuts]

im pretty sure you need to look at that link

It wasn't a full nuclear blast, was it?

Noes. It was like...a nuclear meltdown, not a bomb-style explosion.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Well I think it blasted the roof off the reactor and a fireball blasted into the sky.

Yea, my bad. I kind of worded that poorly. I meant that most of the damage to the area was caused by the release of radiation, not a violent explosion that destroyed the surrounding area, like a nuclear blast would.

To be specific, it was a steam explosion that blew the lid off the place, then a bunch of radiation escaped. Also, there was a fire in the reactor core. But the radiation escaping was much more harmful than the steam explosion itself. Btw, apparently, it released as much radiation as the Hiroshima A-bomb did.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, holmes.

what happened was there was a NON-nuclear blast due to rising heat + pressure in the reactor (due to a miss communication between staff)

the radiation then started to LEAK out after the explosion.. radiation was not blasted out.. it just escaped..

i beleve there is like a 40 mile radius still where u cannot go in.. or even touch the ground

those pictures reminded me of resident evil 2 (the movie)...but where are the zombies...and the über zombie?!

You killed them back than, don't you remember ?? Geez .. what u think!? They gonna stand up out of the death ?!

Yes, I know. Thanks for that.

This is an amazing website created by a woman who took pictures of Chernobyl which was a town that was exposed to massive amounts of radiation after its nuclear reactor cracked open. It will not be inhabitable for at least another 300 years. Some people were exposed to so much radiation that their shadows were burned into the pavement. Some trees there glow red.

Your poor choice of words for a concluding sentence is the only thing funny I see in this thread. Many people died during this accident and it is neither something to laugh at nor enjoy.

I'm still pretty sure I'm right.

then dont laugh at it or enjoy it.

if i could get you to actually read all of the pagese on the site then you would see that you are in fact misinformed.

[ZeUs!!]

No, Sleepy Weasel's correct

[Existenz87]

yeah sleepy is right. i think i got confused with another site that had to do with radiation.

[Zerzera]

If there's one person I would take on a trip to Chernobyl it would be DEA.

[Burzum]

Bump? Fuck yes, worth it.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the accident I went on a reading rampage and spent about a week reading about all kinds of Chernobyl- and nuclear power related stuff. There's a bunch of sick sites and even more gruesome videos out there. You don't see people walking over those meter long fuel rods every day. Search for BBC's Inside Chernobyl Sarcophagus , Chernobyl Heart, Discovery Channel's Disaster at CHernobyl torrents.

do the below instead. -NaiLed

I cant promise the torrents will stay up for long, get 'em while they're there.
Alternatively, contact me for the videos. Got 'em all.
