Default Ghost Ride.......Chernobyl

This is one hell of a read and i think that nearly all of you will find this intriging and captivating. Its about a Motorbike ride through the Aftermath of the Chernobyl meltdown.

For one i know Smit has read this about 6 months ago and he has told me its one of the best links I have ever posted.

You willl be hooked from start to finish.

Read away

If you haven't seen it yet it really is worth taking the time to read it.

Don't care whether its real or fake, I've just read the whole lot and it really brings home the sense of ignorance of the Russian government and the kind of fear the people lived in...

Wow I just finished reading it. Amazing. Really opens your eyes to the scale of the disaster. The view from the top of the building shows you just how big the town is and all those buildings that are just sat there empty..... It's surreal.

The pics of the tiny gas masks in the kindergarten send chills down my spine. That bit really got to me, thinking about how all those young kids were caught up in that with their whole lives ahead of them.

I do think the government should put asylum seekers in those empty tower blocks over there tho

What a story eh would be great to see, without the radiation of course, Well I don't see how it can be fake, that place must exist, what would be the point in faking it anyway, she makes no money from the site

Impressive story, read it the first time round, but still looks like there's overwhelming evidence it isn't actually real...
