Agony Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The Chernobyl disaster was a huge nuclear accident that happened in Ukraine in 1986 which also affected much part of Europe.. Even today it's not Safe to live in Chernobyl, some experts say it might never be safe to ever live there again. Anyone remember the days Was you scared? Would like people's own take on the day of April 1986 please if anyone would like to submit them... Also feel free to discuss the Chernobyl disaster itself...

callippo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 it hastened the demise of Soviet Communism. I guess every cloud, even when it's a radioactive one, can have a silver lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agony Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Vladimir Shevchenko captured alot of footage when he went to film it, he was unaware of the dangers though and ended up dying the year after from acute radiation poisoning. I saw his footage a few years back and it shocked me alot. You can see as what one person said at the time " the visible face of radiation " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
