Chernobyl

[Cola]

I've always thought of this as really interesting. Heard about this "Elephant foot" the other day. Apparently if you're near it for 300 seconds, you'll die within two days. That's how much radioactivity it emits.

You can read about it here:

and several other places.


In the spoiler below, are some pictures that were taken by it. Apparently no one knows what happened to the photographers afterwards. Later, several pictures were taken using mirrors around the hallway corners, to prevent the camera from simply burning up.
