[DESS]

If you have a few minutes, check out this link. Some chick drove her motorcycle through the area around Chernobyl taking photos and it's pretty amazing.

Sorry if it's a repost - I've only been here for a week.

It's a cool website, but there is some controversy surrounding it.

WTF? why would anyone want to see that unless you had family that had lived in or around chernobyl. its not a friggin tourist attraction like the grand canyon or pompeii.

I actually saw this a while back and its pretty cool.

Everything is still exactly where it was when everyone dropped it and ran.

There are long-running claims that it's faked, that she was actually part of a tour

I've heard this too, but either way its a pretty cool video.

Get used to it H&L, this is where the Scientologists are sending you once they track your youtube account!

I actually heard there was a Wikipedia page somewhere that said the same thing.

Interestingly enough, Google Maps has decided to blank-out Chernobyl from it's directory. You can look at some of the neighbouring towns effected within the radius, but are confronted with a "This region is not available," type message when you try to look at Chernobyl itself.
