Chernobyl 18 years later
2004-03-06
While this isn’t a WoT site or story, my minds eye sees a devestated and abandoned US town. This is the personal site of some one who rides her Kawi 1100 through the dead zone of Chernobyl and has taken page after page of pictures. Her Dad is a scientist and she shows maps of the area, along with radiation levels as well. It was disturbing to see homes left just the way people left them when they suddenly abandoned them 18 years ago. I found this compeling and somehow appropriate for our times. I don’t think the Islamists have anywhere near the capacity to create a dirty bomb that could create this sort of disaster, but its not hard to imagine after seeing these pictures and knowing they are about nothing more than western civilizations death.
