I've been fascinated with Chernobyl for years. More than anything, the decay and eerie lack of people.

I read a story a while back about a chick that went through there on a motorcycle. Call it morbid curiosity but it's one of the things on my bucket list.

end up like the people from that movie about this place. it was a good movie, and makes you think if there are deformed people that still live there.

Thankfully it's still up. I read it years ago.

"Work on the roof was the shortest job of all, and lasted only two minutes. Many soldiers were offered a choice of how to fulfill the tour of duty requirement that was necessary for their retirement from Army. One lasted two years in a hellish rain of bullets, rockets and bombs in Afghanistan, and the other lasted two minutes in a tranquil, silent and invisible rain of gamma rays on the roof of Unit # 3."

Damn!!

Radioactivity does not turn you into Bruce Banner; It fucking kills your ass slowly and painfully if you aren't lucky enough to die quickly.

Bruce Banner was Bruce Banner before and after he was exposed to gamma.

did you see this movie im talking about? i can't remember the name of it, but none of the people left behind where far from large green mutations. not saying i believe it, but it seems plausible to me anyway.

[BlackGT]

The movie was called "Chernobyl", I believe...

Chernobyl Diaries. Shitty fucking movie; they could have done so much more with it.

No I have not seen it, but I have seen plenty of photos of what radioactivity does to human beings. Of all the ways to go, that would be just about the worst one.

If a nuke fight ever breaks out, I hope I am right dead center in the middle of the blast.
