np its pretty dam impressive if you ask me.. very bone chilling that a whole city had to clear out and leave everything behind

[Plum Crazy]

nice nate, makes me wanna play COD4

[Silver86]

just seen that on another forum.

[juicedimpss]

wow
i dont think i could talk myself into going there

[That_Guy]

wow
i dont think i could talk myself into going there

i would like to go tour it some day honestly.. im not sure if i want to deal with the radiation:stare. looks like something out of one of those zombie movies

[Nick]

It's always been a goal of mine to go there.

[British_Ben]

Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I would definitely go on a tour like that.

[shoooo32]

I saw a wildlife of cherobyl documentary a few months back. Very interesting. Small game do not live long enough to be affected by the radiation and with no natural predators they live in great numbers.

[xxtremeteam]

really cool I keep comming back here and seeing something in the pics I didnt see the first time

[Yooformula]

wow that was eerie to read! I would NEVER go to that town ever. The writer was wrong about the amount of radiation to kill someone though. It takes 450 to slowly kill you and 600 for instant death. Radiation therapy for some cancers/tumors such as mine required 200-250....mind you 100 causes hair loss and sever sickness.

I saw a documentary once where they went through the schools and the kids toys and shoes were sad to see as they were left in place. That pool looks EXACTLY like the one in COD4, surreal without a doubt how detailed they were with that.

[TheRX7Project]

I got chills going through the pics, especially the ones from the school.

[Cryptic]

The pool, hotel, and Farris wheel all remind me of CoD4. Those are some cool pics, but I dont think I'd spend my vacation in radiation.

[nismodave]

Thats some chilling stuff for sure.

No way in hell I would go there.

[Myles]

It is, they talk about it in the opening credits, and that mission talks about it too.

[Voodoo Chick]

I don't think I could ever walk through there.

[PB86MCSS]

Wasn't there a similar online thread/pics a few years back where someone took their crotch rocket through and took tons of pics and info to go with it?

Pretty cool/chilling stuff. Reminds me of Detroit or Northridge mall :goof .

[MurphysLaw88GT]

The marshes of Prypyat were huge Partisan areas on the Eastern Front in WWII also, lots of heavy shit has gone down in that little area.

Already looking at it too, it is cheaper for two than one to go

That was actually not the whole truth...

Elena Vladimirovna Filatova (Russian: Елена Филатова, born 1974) is a Ukrainian motorcyclist and photographer who uses the online nickname "KidOfSpeed". Her website, containing a photo-essay of her solo motorcycle rides through Chernobyl's radioactive "dead zone", gained her internet fame.[1] It was later revealed that the story accompanying the photos was fictional; they were in fact taken during a public group tour

[Holeshot]

I have seen many documentaries on Chernobyl. Seeing your picture puts in in even better perspective. Tragic and surreal. Thanks for posting them. I cant wait t show my wife.

whoa! i always wondered what the inside looked like... crazy...

edit: those first few shots... is that melted graphite from the reactor?

[GTSLOW]

It's crazy you posted this. I was just looking at pics of this a few days ago. Some team went there exploring and brought back tons of pics. I wish I could find the dam link.

[GTSLOW]

This ones just creepy:

[PB86MCSS]

I remember people stating the kidofspeed thing was "fake", even though it was merely just exagerated by my understanding. Just saying, people have posted pics of the aftermath before, that is all. It was the first time I've seen pictures of it and it was 4-5 years ago.

[That_Guy]

i think that is this case.. it takes an awful lot of heat to melt pure graphite from my understanding

Those people on that bridge had a hell of a sight before they died!

[Nick]

Let me know what you find out on that trip. I'd love to go any time after the end of May give or take a few dates.

[TransAm12sec]

That would have been to design the COD4 maps of chernobyl.

[Nick]

I wonder what the long term health risks are for going there.

Just don't eat the dirt and you are fine :thumbsup

I would recommend everyone clicking that and just hit next page next page. Unreal that over there people can just walk around and dig that stuff up, surprised its not illegal :stare

One picture was of a Jaw bone and a skull still wearing a helmet on :eek:

History is so dark but so interesting, respect history :thumbsup

[Nick]

death..:rolf

:rolf Well I think that's inevitable... but what if the trip takes like 15 years off :stare

[Voodoo Chick]

:rolf Well I think that's inevitable... but what if the trip takes like 15 years off :stare

That's what I was wondering, too.........I mean, it is so contaminated, wouldn't even a little time spent there f*** you up??

[Mr Twigbert]

Good ass read..

[That_Guy]

:rolf Well I think that's inevitable... but what if the trip takes like 15 years off :stare

i cant imagine its nothing more then a year or so.. i mean look there is a guy who is a tour guide for that area his job is to walk through the place. not to mention if you look he still has a full head of hair and all of his teeth.. lol... im sure if you stay on the beaten path its not that bad

[PureSound15]

i cant imagine its nothing more then a year or so..

:confused:confused What? I can't even figure out what the fuck you tried to say.

I was reading an article where the tour guide died at 45 :stare

hahahah holy shit...

[Goat Roper]

Yeah but he got hit by another tour bus, lol

Seriously though, you are not in the area long enough, you stay on paved surfaces andthe buildings are wide open. There are instruments reading what you are experiencing through the entire short trip.

If we were taking a trip into the core, yeah, that wouldn't be too bright.

[flyin_blue_egg]

pics that guy took were awesome. and sad at the same time

[Voodoo Chick]

The whole thing is just so.....honestly chilling.....That Ferris Wheel really creeped me out, and the graffiti. It just seems....I don't even know how to say what I'm trying to say here.....it's just so scary because it gets you thinking all these "what ifs" about a nuclear disaster on an even bigger scale. Nightmare material for sure.
