thats kinda freaky...walk 1m this way you live, walk 1m the other way you die

you gotta wonder in 600years what the population will look at and say when they see that place.


Lokita - April 2nd, 2004 at 04:41 PM

That's so eerie...


VWCOOL - April 2nd, 2004 at 05:00 PM

Man...

There is probably a mint 23 window in a shed there somewhere that someone will claim in 600 years but have no fuel to run it.

sends a chill up your back, funny how they strive to make movies look real, but the truth can be so surreal:jesus

What a horrible thing.
The deaths of all those PPL. Especially the emergency & military workers who knew nothing about the radiation dangers and their virtually commited suicide!
When you see things like this, it really makes you wonder if nuclear technology is such a great idea! The materials needed to produce it and the waste and associated disposal problems should have sounded the death bell for this particular energy supply before it started. Who actually profits from it in the long run! definately not the Earth and its population of creatures.
Rob...:cool:

mmmmmm you would think twice before sleeping with her ;)

Radiation makes you hot though? he he :kiss


Andy42 - April 2nd, 2004 at 11:54 PM

Mate if i could have gone a trip like that when I stayed in Russia I would have been there in a second. That would be one awsome experience. And she is one gutsy lady.

Hmmm cheap real estate!
an investment for the Future?


BenettonVW - April 3rd, 2004 at 08:57 PM

How fascinating..

Incredible, she is very knowledgable about the nuclear technology and radiation.. Spose she has to be.. And her dad being a fricken Professor or whatever probably helps..

Something else I find quite sureal about this site is the fact that; well we use the net for numerous reasons, one of them is this site... But thats what she has done with her time on the web... Wierd? Informative? Alternative? Educational? All of the above?
One thing is certain.... the site is... Different.

wwow


VWFOOL - April 3rd, 2004 at 10:53 PM

wow, it amazes me so many of u guys took the time to look at this, u mustnt be as shallow as i thought :P

but yeah, great u took the time to hav a look...

Amazing
I look at that and wonder what will they (the future) think of us (our generations) when they can eventuially get back into the places that are too high a count at the moment.
I agree that places that have been abandoned have an eerie feeling to them, and that if you have not been prepared for something like it, you will get very spooked.
I'd love to do that journey, to see what it is like, and what the area ha sbecome in the future.
Good to see she has done what she has, in the way she has, basic, non emotive (to an extent - it could be exceptionally emotive) and informative.


tracash242 - April 4th, 2004 at 11:34 AM

wow,that was a interesting read,

Tis sad we actually have to 'make time' to look at these sorts of things..... the most disturbing were the last pictures, posessions left, childrens toys, little shoes. A picture says 1000 words etc, that is one powerful piece.

Most of us wouldn't give that whole incident a second thought,, it's the past... or is it? We think we are in control of our lives, but ultimately some one else is in charge of our destiny.



:jesus

I knew about it, but I hadn't thought about it until now.

Well it's going to be a Fantastic Time Capsule one day, with all that Stuff left behind.

Imagine going back 18 years and Looking at Melbourne as it was in 1986.

There would be Leg warmers, Baggys and fingerless Gloves laying around every where.

Not to mention the Micheal Jackson Tapes, Commodorre 64 Computers and Atari's.

But it was still a tragedy what happened there.


twoguns - April 4th, 2004 at 12:59 PM

i found most disturbing the pics of hte trucks and the tankers in the bay. you look at it and you can jsut see that life just stopped. time is still and nothing will change. it reminded me of the book, z for zachariah ( ithink that was the name) about the life of a person after a nuclear war.

Yeah I've read that Book, but she was in safe Pocket that didn't get contaminated after a Nuclear War.

She was Safe untill that Tool came along.
hahaha:)


EgeWorks - April 4th, 2004 at 02:01 PM

That was a pretty powerful site. Just simple words and pictures but done so well. You could never imagine what it was like, and is still like, but that was so telling... The best thing I've read on the web for a long time. Thanks for posting the link.


aggri1 - April 5th, 2004 at 04:18 PM

Woah - amazing.

Scary and kinda exciting really. I reckon she's a little crazy, you know how those bikers are. ;-) My mate here at the next computer's got a Ninja too (a newer one).

I didn't realise the extent of the destruction, the amount of land that was wrecked. Amazing. Nice find vwfool.

so interesting and yet so aweful and eerie.


tonyg - April 5th, 2004 at 08:09 PM

How many ppl have carked it because of coal mining in the last few hundred years? More than have ever been affected by radiation I bet! One could also count up all those electrocuted and/or killed by petroleum products. This whole nuclear thing gives me a nice glow on a cool autumn night
