Can anyone confirm how valid or true what she’s saying is? And Devillion, where’d you hear that?
Too dangerous for the ghosts? Can they get radiation poisoning even if they’re dead or what? 
Damn. I wonder if any Russians paintball there? Cause that would rock some pretty hard face.
Nah, too easy to spot others when they glow.
Well i guess thats true, but how radioactive is it still? Isn’t it just like 5 whatevers more than most places?
… at the site of meltdown? Oh HELL no. Maybe 100 km or so out, but in the restricted zones themselves? You can’t even stray from the roads without putting yourself into serious risk.
It does mention that there are people living there, but relatively far from the reactor site. I wouldn’t dare say that the radiation levels are normal, but certainly within survival range.
Keep in mind, that most nuclear material degrades slowly, especially those slated for weapons or energy purposes. OTherwise they wouldn’t last long enough to be useful. “Half-life” is the term for how long it would take half of any given material to decay.
you forgot to mention that the half-life of many radioactive materials is well over 200 years
Yeah, but the half-life of most energy-purpose nuclear materials is measured in the millenia.
I think I read somewhere that it was a hoax…she arranged the items laying around before taking actual photos(like the doll & photo near end)…I think. :fungah: And she actually went there not by herself, but with others…I have bad memory.
i wouldnt be surprised if she went with someone seeing as how shes in some of her own pictures (i think i kinda breezed through them all)
Yeah, could be a hoax, of course. But I wouldn’t really see the point of it.
I have seen the oroginal videos they took by the time they were doing the preliminary cleanup prior to building the sarcophagus. It was in a documentary that passed in open TV here some 5 years ago. They “drafted” people in the streets and gave them shovels, some white clothes and masks (exactly as seen in one of the photos in Elena’s site). Then they told those guys: “go up there, and throw as much debris as you can from the roof to the ground. Don’t stay up there for more than 90 seconds”. After getting out they took an incomplete chemical shower.
Most of those workers died (10k out of aprox. 650k died while dealing with the debris, as said in the site), and some were interviewed before death as a kind of experiment. They complained about feeling a fever right after getting out of the plant, vomited a lot and died within hours.
Kostellano: I don’t think Elena’s story is a hoax. Mostly because, even if she arranged the dolls and other items around, there would still be no way to arrange a whole power plant, a bike shop, an olympical pool, a few blocks of buildings, a carousel and a few bump cars just to make a surrogate ghost town for a simple homepage. And about her company, she does mention she took a guy with her to take the pics.
Gila: I have seen the pics of a mammal (horse, I think, though I don’t remember well) that was born two-headed. It was not a couple of siamese twins, but really two heads on a body. They were connected by the side of the skull. I have also seen a picture of a fetus that was petrified while still in the womb. It looked like that creature from ‘The Scream’ (that famous paiting). I’ll see if I can find them.
I know it’s dangerous but I’d like to visit it someday… just to see it with my own eyes…
This was cool. It’s crazy how the RAD count skyrockets just off the road. It’s like just a few meters from death… hope she doesn’t spend too much time out there, else her kids will be born with all sorts of defects.
