That is amazeingly creepy, i mean i love abanonded bulidings, dead towns, but that's just... wow.
i mean can you imagine the people standing on the roof looking off into the shineyness, haveing no idea thier bodies were being filled with radiation? and 300-400 thousand dead and most of the populace not knowing about it till 7-10 days later? wow. i wanna learn more about this now :D
Oh yeah, there's all kinds of creepiness/ghastliness surrounding Chernobyl. I remember hearing accounts of workers getting sent -- both during and up to 24 hours after the accident -- into the plant itself to try to stop the meltdown, or to simply quell the damage. They would run inside and live long enough to work for about five to ten minutes.
wow..that'a amazeingly..sick? *shakes head* russia had become so corrupt at that point, I'd imainge it is hard to say what all happened. i have ALWAYS been fasicnated with Russia, it's such a dark culture. what's funny about it is how morbid it is, yet it really is the place where eastern thought and western thought mix.. and what was a result? a culture that has been slow to advance, and radicle to either side.
aint communism grand ;pvivisexMarch 31 2004, 11:32:57 UTC
though my knee jerk assumption is that "they" (the Bureaucrats) didn't tell "them" (the workers) that it was dangerous.
but then I thought, "I really don't think that Russians are stupid"
so I've determined through reason that the people that went in to shut it down were probably people that were exposed to deadly levels already and had nothing to loose, and at least some hope of saving others.
and have thus decided not to use this as an opportunity to belabor the horrors of socialism/government control of industry.
