Can you believe Chernobyl was 27 years ago next month?

Hard to believe that it has been almost 27 years now ...

Hope this never happens to one of ours or yours

Prypiat a town of 47,000 people is just a ghost town now and may take another 25 to 35 years to be visited again

Pripyat (also spelled Prypiat) was a small city located in Kiev oblast of Ukraine. It is standing on the Pripyat River near the border with Belarus. Pripyat was the home city for people working at one of the largest in Europe nuclear power plants - Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The direct distance between Pripyat and Kiev is only 94 km.

I was 4,5 years old back then and I only remember that I wasn't allowed to play outside for some time. Back then I only understood that something terrible had happened far away but not far enough away....
