You need to tune that piano.

@alekzander2010 It's very sad to know that all of those people once lived there. They trusted the people running the plant. I can't even begin to imagine having something like that in my back yard. Not a chance. I unfortunately live about 23 miles from a nuclear power plant and when I see it I can't help but think of Chernobyl and now Fukashima.

@solidenix yes some people actually still live in prypyat/chernobyl

[alekzander2010]

@LLJtbone this place is a giant Zoo actually if you howl really loudly you might hear a apck of wolves respond the sad thing is that without humans their despite all the radiation animals now flourish in the chernobyl area

[alekzander2010]

@STALKERstealth090 actually radiation lives for Over 1,000 years but they covred the reactor with some stuff that keeps the radiation in

[alekzander2010]

@solidenix I think it's walled off. Just like these guys, you may have to show papers to get into the restricted area.
