Chernobyl, 28 years later after the nuclear disaster.
Not something to put in current affairs but thought it would go well here.
To watch the video (they used a drone to catch these staggering images): http://sploid.gizmodo.com/this-is-how-chernobyl-looks-28-years-after-the-nuclear-1663621581
Remarkable how you get to see the plants and green areas growing back.
All in HD btw

It's the closest that, hopefully, you will ever see to a post-apocalyptic city, 28 years after the catastrophe that has killed about 200,000 people since then.

when i hear of chernobyl i always think of the little known three men who volunteered to swim underneath the reactor to drain the water for the sake of the rest of us.
valeri bezpalov, alexie ananenko and boris baranov.
just about the worst death and suffering imaginable.
that is a job a man can be proud of.

and of course the many other liquidators who sacrified their lives at chernobyl.

Spooky. I'd love to visit. It must be so surreal. Houses, buildings etc left the same for 30 years.
yeah it's incredible to be honest, no wonder it's labelled as a ghost town haha.
I would love to visit Pripyat one day
Incredible. I also would love to visit. However, I think you can't enter buildings as of 2012.
