I was 14 when this happened..

I remember that the cloud of radiation actually just barely reached Pennsylvania and for about a month you couldn't drink any milk brought in from Pennsylvania farms because of a possibility of radiation contamination! (which at that time in my area most milk came from penn.) Yeah the radiation reached the states!!

And no one seems to remember that..

Very much so, marv. Is it also macabre that I've come back to Chernobyl videos two years in a row around the anniversary date without even realizing it? I was 11 when this disaster happened, it must have imprinted on me hugely, without my even realizing.

Fifty thousand people used to live here....now it's a ghost town

@Ashmansworth not only russians... most is ukrainian guys

Holy shite! This sounds like the intro to the Depeche Mode song, "To Have and to Hold". I'm not sure if it's the same language (or dialect) though.

@orangie84 "And no one seems to remember that.." that is so true... i often hear people discussing hiroshima and nagasaki... but no one seems to have heard the slightest about Chernobyl... it's rather sad

@orangie84 The radiation fried your minds lol

[AntiProtonBoy]

Yep, I was in Hungary at the time and was not allowed to drink milk either. Fun times.

[Ashmansworth]

those Russian guys are heroes, if the core would have reached the water table below the reactor , there would have been a bigger bang, and wide spread radiation of a disastrous magnitude across the whole of Europe.

You are not forgotten.

@orangie84 pff radiation that came from chernobyl to usa was harmless, in my country i remember radioactive rain was falling , and we couldn t eat or drink anything, that was fucked up!

[RenfieldHurtmore]

Nearly 370 farms in Britain are still restricted in the way they use land and rear sheep because of radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident 23 years ago, the government has admitted.

@orangie84 I remember that.
