[QUOTE="MikeJoel, post: 215226, member: 3783"] Yep today (or actually last night at midnight) was the 20th anniversary. 1986 (I was 11 but for some reason dont remember a thing about it except I seem to remember a news report about radiation detection in european countries). The Chernobyl powerplant in Ukraine had a meltdown at about 1:25am in the morning while undergoing "tests". It was the worse nuclear disaster ever. There was more radiation released than the two atomic bombs dropped in Japan. There were fewer deaths then from the bombs but current estimates say that about 300,000 people have (or will) die from sicknesses related to Chernobyl. The area still has enough radiation to kill an unprotected person who would dare approach it. In fact the woods around the plant are called the "magic forest" because if you walk in you can walk out glowing. The UN has now released a report stating that the areas should be repopulated even though there is about 50-100% more radiation in these areas than in most of europe. Well just thought it would be interesting to point it out. Mike [/QUOTE]
