Chernobyl & Pripyat 2007

We've noticed that people don't have any idea what (or where) we're talking about when we mention that we recently traveled to Chernobyl & Pripyat. Pripyat is a completely modern abandoned city about 2km from Chernobyl, inside of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, in Ukraine. Over 20 years ago (26 April, 1986), there was an accident in one of the nuclear reactors there that became one of the worst technological disasters in history. We got some really fantastic footage of both cities as well as the reactor. When we put the film together, we thought it would be helpful to include some information about what happened. Here's the final product.

This footage of Chernobyl and Pripyat was filmed on August 7, 2007 by Jason Strain. Narration is by Laura Corliss. Music by Brokenkites.

@Doodorz

You wanna see a scary abadoned city you can just head on over to Detroit.

Last I went there part of he downtown and a large part of the suburbs are abandoned. It's as if a nuke fell and everyone was evactuated and never returned. All the houses and skyscapers were abadoned, it looked kind of like a Fallout game. You could tell people lived there though since there were needles everywhere.

But still, you should check it out if this type of stuff interest you.

its funny (i dont mean the disaster, that was scary,wierd and unfortunate) because once COD gets a lot of things accurate ...... which makes the COD4 missions pretty scary

the abandonment of that massive city was one of the reasons the USSR collapsed
