I am fucking appalled that I am a 30 something well educated woman and the first I hear about this is from HBO. People…did you learn about this in high school? Did you learn about this in college? No, you didn’t. have you ever taken a good hard look at what is going on in this world? do you really know what the fuck happened w/ chernobyl? look at the diseased, watch those that have no other option…these people have no choice…and you fucking wannabe martyrs that have no god damned idea what the fuck is going on…and you know how i know that…cuz if you did…I WOULD HAVE READ ABOUT THIS IN MY HISTORY BOOKS! what-the-fuck!
I can’t agree with you more. I traveled to Chernobyl in June 2006 and gave a presentation on my trip to local college class seven months later. I was shocked that only 2 out of 25-30 students had even heard about Chernobyl, much less knew anything about it.
On my two day trip, I went with a friend and former resident of Pripyat. We toured the Chernobyl Plant (including the Reactor 4 control room), several of the abandoned villages, and Pripyat. I have posted a photo journal of my trip at:
