The Chernobyl disaster.

The Chernobyl disaster-it's a sad lesson for humanity. The single biggest technological disaster occurred on 26 April 1986, on the 4th unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the small town called Pripyat. A lot of lethal radioactive substances appeared in the air. In some places the level of radiation were thousands of times higher than the maximum.

First talk about the evacuation of people in Pripyat appeared on Saturday evening. And in the morning came designation - 2 hours to prepare the documents for evacuation. April 27 , it was reported : "People of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant declared the evacuation of the city.You should have documents necessary things and  if possible, food for 3 days.Evacuation starting at 14:00. "
 Imagine a column of several thousand buses with glowing lights moving along the highway in 2 rows and the exporting of the radiation zone the entire population of Pripyat - women, the elderly , adults and newborn babies. Column buses drove to the village Polesski , Ivanovo regions which is close to Chernobyl. So Pripyat became into a ghost town.

Evacuation people of Pripyat was done and organized very clearly. But how we can describe the irresponsibility shown by the government to the population, when during the day before nobody didn't say anything,let children walk on the streets. Really it was impossible to save them? Does anyone would criticize  politicians for such reassurance?


What is Chernobyl today? Empty and wild, truly a ghost town ...
