Chernobyl from a drone.

Stumbled upon this today on Facebook. Really great footage.

This is amazing and creepy at the same time.

Crazy how fast mother nature reclaims an area after no humans live there.

 

Chernobyl is a very intriguing piece of history... love it when there's tv shows on it. Y'all see the River Monsters episode where he went fishing for the monster fish in Chernobyl?

 

That's pretty amazing, but how was that guy walking around exploring? Isn't it off-limits?

 

Well, rules only work if people follow them.
But I do know that a lot of researchers visit there, but they are only allowed so much time to be in.

 

Thanks for the share. Would love to go there one day.

 

Pretty cool. It's stuff like that that makes me what to get into video production.

 

Very cool. Chernobyl has always intrigued me.

 

I believe he was working with CBS on a piece, so I'm assuming they had the necessary governmental clearances to enter the zone.

Get that drone you want for Christmas :D

 

Some locals actually moved back to their homes in the exclusion zone despite the area being "restricted", and they let them stay. They are still living there and there have been no deaths from radiation either to any of them. I am a nuclear energy major, so I have studied all of the accidents and they are all very interesting as to how they happened and what actually happened as to what the public believes happened. A very good movie on the nuclear industry, they do a segment on Chernobyl, is Pandoras Promise, if anyone is interested in watching it. There are actually beaches in South America that are more radioactive than the sites of major nuclear accidents. The nuclear accidents, especially Chernobyl, are very interesting to study.
