32 Pics Of The Captivating Ruins Of An Abandoned City Which I Took During My Trip To Chernobyl
Here are the photographs I had taken during my trip to Chernobyl. For the people who don't know the history or didn't see the HBO show, the Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history; when technicians at reactor Unit 4 attempted a poorly designed experiment. Workers shut down the reactor’s power-regulating system and its emergency safety systems, and they withdrew most of the control rods from its core while allowing the reactor to continue running.
if this photo were taken at night, this will look like an horror game :(
These mistakes were compounded by others, and at 1:23 AM on April 26 the chain reaction in the core went out of control. Several explosions triggered a large fireball and blew off the heavy steel and concrete lid of the reactor. This and the ensuing fire in the graphite reactor core released large amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere, where it was carried great distances by air currents.
On April 27 the 30,000 inhabitants of Prypiat were evacuated. Since then, the city is abandoned even if nowadays more and more tourists decide to come and explore the remains which are left after that disaster. Here is my view on what's still behind these walls.
I wonder what they were studying before leaving this room :(
Very odd, a pair of a woman's high heel shoes sitting on the OR table.
I really wish that each of these pictures were identified . So that others less familiar (like myself) would better understand “Where & What”? Exactly we’re looking at.
Again, if this was taken at night, the photo will be more scary
Everything as it was left behind to slowly decay. So very sad.Hopefully a lesson learned.
The newborn nursery where their lives were ruined by the explosion.A very sad beginning of life.
It seems they used to have high hopes on the astronauts and space.
Seriously, what's with all that hating comment trend? Just because we had a few articles about fools taking dangerous photos to look cool after the success of a TV show, it doesn't mean that EVERYONE who goes there to take photos is suddenly a "stupid influencer". F*****G . LEARN . TO SEE . THE DIFFERENCE!
Thank you so much ;) I wish people went on my website to understand I am doing this kind of photography for the last eight years !

This confirms it...I’m a total lightweight. I simply couldn’t look at the photos—all I can think of is all the lives lost and all the lives ruined forever thereafter.
Yesss, all what we ever needed... "Epic" pictures of a lost place... Never seen before... So stunning, not manipulated.... At the end another Instagram s**t... Stop making stupid people famous!!!!
