Rassokha – Roncstemeto

About 15 mi south-west from Chernobyl, thousands of vehicles are left to rust. At first, the graveyard was meant to store only vehicles contaminated by isotopes with a short half-life, like Iodine. After a few months they would have been safe. Unfortunately, other vehicles were parked there, and the wind blew more dangerous particles over here, rendering all these trucks and helicopters useless for the first few centuries.

The accompanying song is kind of cheesy but you can always turn that off. I've seen Elena's website before....she actually has a couple (one of which isn't related to the Chernobyl plant). She does good work. I think I'll head to the Ukraine...possibly next year...and visit the place myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lleQPaALSLo&feature=related Here is a link that shows video footage of the area.

Try and stop the repairs being done on Chernobly, thus the sarcophogus will crumble and release massive radiation that is being blocked in for 20 years.

(if you save the jpg file and open it in any paint program, you can see that all the pixels of the blanked areas are (after accounting for JPG compression) the same color, and obscure details and shadows that would exist even if there were overexposure or glare, indicating someone has deliberately done this, though I do not know why they would). I'd love to understand why someone would obliterate knowledge and information in this way. It feels like vandalism (though since the imagery is their own property, technically that's not true).
