They visited it on the Life after people thing, said that basically Chernobyl was probably the most advanced city in Eastern Europe, when the plant went tits up.

There was a brand new fairground that had never been used because people had to get out of there.

Some very eerie pics like you said

for a holiday?



Just to see it, costs about £250, plus £100 ish for th hotel for 3 nights

The place is under military control, so Im not sure how someone on a motorbike got in...


I read that she wasn't even on her bike, that was just to dramatise things, was actually driving round with her husband. Says her dad is a Government Scientist with a special entry pass.


if i remember right this was all staged and proven to be, she went on a public tour which anyone can go on, then moved stuff about for photo's

look at the giger counter. Thats not that bad for a short time, but wouldn't want to eat/drink anything from around there. That would be more dangerous.

You can go in to certain areas as Ewan Mcgregor and Charlir Boorman visited in the Long way round. Also a car journalist Keith Adams visited on route to taking his SD1 to be restored by a polish garage.
