Guy Sneaks Into The Fukushima Exclusion Zone, Posts Never-Before-Seen Pics Of Town Untouched Since 2011
When the Fukushima nuclear disaster struck Japan, residents within 18 miles of the plant were urged to evacuate. Five years have passed since then and the established exclusion zone is still closed to outsiders.
However, human desire to explore the unknown sometimes wins over set rules and regulations. Keow Wee Loong, a 27 -year-old Malaysian photographer, chose to ignore long government procedures and illegally snuck into Fukushima’s exclusion zone, bypassing police patrols and barricades. “It feels like a real-life version of Fallout” – Keow Wee told Bored Panda. Equipped with only a gas mask, the daredevil didn’t fear to expose his bare skin to heightened levels of radiation in order to snap some never-before-seen photos of towns, untouched since 2011.

Gas masks but sandals? No Geiger counter? Besides, there is a thin line between catatrophe tourism and keeping the memory alive as well as between investigative reporting and sensationalism.

I love how the only place where they didn't leave their product behind was the bar. not one bottle left behind. Shows humanities needs versus priorities.

I would think the Japanese would understand it better than anyone in history ! That guy knows the risk , and the stores did not look flooded . That place is probably far away from the plant but within the fallout zone . Just a little residual radiation . Not a hot zone .

You can't tell because of the mask, but that's Keith Richards. A little radiation won't hurt him.
