Chernobyl...18 Years Later 971
abysmilliard writes "A young Ukrainian woman has posted a photo journal of her motorcycle rides through Chernobyl and the area surrounding it. Included are pictures of the now-emptied city, maps of current radiation levels, and a discussion of how the area has changed. While the english is quite broken, it's often rather surreal, as well, with quotes like, 'I don't know how sound the silence to those tourists that they can not stand it, but to me after hitting a red line on my bike tacho it sound like all those ghosts cursing 1100cc kawasaki engin.'"

So there she was, an American journalist who just happened to be right there at the scene, and didn't find out about it until she left Russia and entered Finland just as the radioactive fallout was hitting.
We use her for a nightlight now. Or to scare kids on Halloween.
I'll have to refer her to this site after it recovers.

For the love of all that is good and holy, man! There are some subjects never meant to be broached. Like paintball in an abandoned radioactive town.
