Chernobyl

I came across this site through one of my favorite blogs, trying to grok today. I found it to be a profound and moving exploration of the largest accident in history.

Chernobyl

That was fascinating. I loved the pictures. I noticed she had a Shoe helmet. Those are really expensive, at least in the states. Very high quality.

She is either very brave or very foolish. I don't think I would want to walk around that area, but I really did enjoy the pictures.

Did you read all of her comments? She is a scientist, her dad was a nuclear physicist involved with Chernobyl. She has special permission to visit the site, and always carries a dosimeter. She said that she stays in the roads and other places where the radiation is low.

She explained quite a lot about the various levels of radiation in different areas. For example, the asphalt apparently doesn't hold any, while wood structures must have soaked it up like sponges.

Yes, I read all of her comments. She said she never leaves the road, but then shows pictures she took in buildings. The readings on her dosimeter were higher than I thought was supposed to be good several times in her pictures. I know what she said about the radiation levels, but I just don't think I would want to take the risk. Of course, I do ride a motorcyle without a helmet, so I guess it is a matter of which risk we choose to take as individuals.

Wow, what a story....she really likes to be on the road, it seems. I like the pictures. What kind of helmet is she wearing?.

Chernobyl

It's just a normal full face helmet, in Ninja colours.

I think it is an incredibly wonderful and tragic story she weaves.

Chernobyl was (is?) such a tragedy. What she wrote about the people who moved back so that they could die "at home" is just so sad, and now only one guy is left. Really touched me. Thanks, Nighthawk.

Is Chernobyl proportions similar to biblical proportions in any way and how?
