Someone posted those a while back, spooky stuff.

Theres a scenario in COD 'modern warfare' where you romp through the 'city', thats spooky stuff too.

Are those the kidofspeed photos? Very good pictures but a shame that the girl who took them had to lie about who she is and how she was able to go there.

There is a decetn site through which you can arrange a tour of pripyat.

From what I can gather the kidofspeed woman was not popular with the guides for how they set up scenes to photograph.

Did anybody see the BBC docu-drama With Adrian Edmondson (aka eddie hitler from the comedy show 'bottom') Surviving Disaster - Chernobyl?

Was pretty good

I can still remember when all of a sudden I wasn't allowed to play outside the house any more when I was a 5 year old. Nasty stuff that was.

I recognize some of that scenery from Call of Duty 4. It's almost uncanny how well they translated some of those places into the game.
