what a great 2 part vid . call of duty 4 not only stole a part of children's lives but gave back a little history of a event long forgotten . the song '' big in japan by alphaville'' comes to mind.
Dumb asses this place wasn't built for cod it is a real place that everyone was killed in after reactor 4 exploded and released radiation into the town go there and tell me it is from cod and was built for the game there is still toys and cars around left from the instantaneous deaths of children
Well actually most of the townspeople were evacuated in a fleet of buses a couple of days after the explosion. but yes, you're right, the inhumane exposure to the radiation left an indelible mark on the lives of all of those involved, and their children, and their grandchildren. many innocent lives were ruined because of a catastrophe which could have been prevented.
they say that it'll take up the 900 years before the radiation will fully abate, but i say more than that. but it's a relatively safe level for human presence, with the exception of the radioactive lichen and moss spots scattered across the town.
i was there 16 months ago, the only sounds i hear were wind, a few cars in the distance, some bords and at night, a wolf or cyoye howling far away. its scary silent. realy cool but you feel the sorrow of the thousands that died andf are dying from this still today.
are you some sort of moron? thousands of REAL people died here, and many more left, never to return. this is a REAL ghost town, and COD4 used images from the town for the game. but that's obviously a concept too large for your potent, computer-addled mind to grasp.
yeah right. those russians are computer geeks. they seem to build the interesting things of pc games for real. well, every culture has its own oddities
This is so sad, the mere thought that so many people lived there, buildings, homes, hospitals, gyms, and now it's nothing more than a radioactive desert full of memories. scares the hell out of me. These people didnt deserve this, I guess its the reaction of negligence and ignorance from the controllers on the Nuke Plant... great video by the way.. I played this scenario on COD4 and it scared me out.. I dont think these things should be used to promote a game.. Peace
I think it´s great that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and COD4 reminded us of Pripyat and the Chernobyl desaster...too many people have already forgotten.
Now, after playing the games, many people are interested in the events that lead to the exclusion zone...especially many young people who weren´t born then or too young to remember.
Especially S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is also a memorial to the catastrophy still going on...
@aviator147 You can. You can get special permission from the Ukranian government; they operate guided tours. Sort of twisted in my opinion; people making money even on a tragedy of this scale, but I suppose each to their own. I would personally love to visit too, but I believe it's a mystery that should only be admired from afar.
It was a bit like the Pharoah tombs in the Egyptian pyramids; once the town was abandoned, looters and gangsters invaded the place, and took most objects of value (you see, everyone was only allowed to take one suitcase with them, so most possessions were left behind). That, combined with the weather extremes and the fact that noone's lived there for 24 years, also adds to the general decay. I think there's a video of looters in Prypiat taking lots of home heaters. Disgusting, really.
Some parts its safe but even looking at video's makes me feel insafe and eerie so i wouldnt go there there is still about 150 people living out side the exlusion zone old people but
In fact people would be living in the city of the sarchopughgus wasn't a piece of shit.
Any ways if the sarch. falls it would release more radiation out and it's starting to rot so they've been working on it.
But other then that it's quite safe to enter pripyat, I soupose if you stumbled over something in a house maybe at a low chance it would stir up some radiation.
An estimate of approximately 5,000 people in Ukraine and Russia died of radiation related sickness. During the span of the day of the explosion and the day after, 26 people in Pripyat died and dozened were severely burned by radiation.
Everybody speaks here of call of duty 4. This images aren't a game and I think in STALKER, maybe no with the awesome graphics of call of duty 4, but they did very well the city
I assume that some of the damage that we see was caused by looters and vandals, other than Time? And that the same goes for people's possesions left behind during the evacuation? (Given that people were allowed only one suitcase each.)
Depends on which section and how long. The remaining Chernobyl reactors were generating power until 2000 when the last one was shut down. I am fairly certain there are workers there now still monitoring the site as long as nuclear fuel remains. They rotate work shifts to limit the radiation exposure.
Awesome short film, amazing shots, really using the rule of thirds, playing with foreeground & background, lighting & shadows. I love the blacks with the audio playing, nice touch. Life and death together.
good work of art also these buildings and structures are exactly teh same as the things in chernobyl in call of duty 4 this is madness that building with the letters that building with the curved bit and all of the flats this is some awsome stuff thnx for puttin it on
I lived in Kiev for over a year. A daughter of a medical doctor there said her mother was concerned about the very high cancer rates in Kiev, one of the places where the fallout was heavy from the Chernobyl incident. It would be interesting to see those stats, the real ones, if they exist. What is the biggest PRESENT tragedy are the kids in the orphanages there, hidden away, and barely keeping the children alive and fed. Corruption is a serious hinderance to assisting those children there.
Where there ever any prisoners that got left behind :O
