[url]http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/galleries/gallery-e6frecgc-1226231557916?page=1[/url] It's a photo gallery, pretty much no text. I can't link the pictures. Will end up being another Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
Well, I know where the next Fallout or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will take place.
[QUOTE=Hidole555;33928243]Well, I know where the next S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will take place.[/QUOTE] Nowhere?
You can link the pictures e.g. [img]http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/12/28/1226231/555823-japan-inside-the-zone.jpg[/img] [editline]28th December 2011[/editline] But life goes on [img]http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/12/28/1226231/557971-japan-inside-the-zone.jpg[/img]
Poor animals :c
Just knowing I was alive to see the next Chernobyl in my lifetime makes me both happy and terribly sad to be alive in this time
Those pictures are amazing
that pictures with the boats around the highway looks really cool.
Those are some really amazing pictures. Some of them remind me of the Chernobyl exclusion zone with less rust and decay.

I've been without internet for 10 days. What happened.

[QUOTE=Oblivion470;33928508]I've been without internet for 10 days. What happened.[/QUOTE] A disaster 300 days ago.

It was sad seeing all those abandoned animals
Well that's another nuclear exclusion zone I want to visit now. [editline]28th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr.C;33928574]It was sad seeing all those abandoned animals[/QUOTE] The pigs looked so sad.
Fuck, I want to explore that place. It's affordably closer to me, as well.
What's eerie is how everything still sits there untouched, like the inhabitants vanished into thin air.

[QUOTE=mac338;33928509]Chernobyl people had time to evacuate, here everyones stuff is still lying around and not looted.[/QUOTE] This is just wrong. They rapidly evacuated Pripyat and the Chernobyl region, and they did the same at Fukushima. To quote wikipedia on the Chernobyl evacuation: [quote]The evacuation began at 14:00 on 27 April. In order to expedite the evacuation, the residents were told to bring only what was necessary, as the authorities had said it would only last approximately three days. As a result, most of the residents left their personal belongings, which are still there today. [/quote] The only reason stuff hasn't been looted from this place is because the Fukushima disaster is significantly more recent, and many more workers still operate in the Fukushima exclusion zone compared to the Chernobyl Zone. Looters have difficulty avoiding the workers.
The fact that that's a modern car-shell is freaky as shit.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;33928323]Poor animals :c[/QUOTE] Not really. As is the case with the Chernobyl exclusion zone this will probably see a boost to animal populations in the area in the long term scope of things. The fact that there's very few humans around to hinder them allows them to breed and live in relative peace.
The doggies :(
[QUOTE=RichyZ;33928857]radiation and (because of radiation) mutation would make them sterile as well and slowly kill them[/QUOTE] Radiation levels will drop, plus it's not constantly dangerously high all over the exclusion zone. As I already said "in the long term" and yes, animals will probably suffer some bad effects at first but like I said, chances are it will eventually be crawling with animals just like the Chernobyl exclusion zone is today. Those pigs in the OP's post are already an example of what I'm talking about. Whether those very pigs will suffer any reproductive faults isn't my place to say as I don't know just how bad the radioactivity is across the whole area, but even so, down the line I'm willing to bet that the place will be lousy with critters (if not descendants of animals originally living there, then new animals will surely move into the area). If you don't take my word for it then at least read an article from a major news outlet concerning similar effects surrounding Chernobyl [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4923342.stm[/url]
As bad as these pictures are this one in its own way is rather artistic.[IMG]http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/12/28/1226231/558103-japan-inside-the-zone.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;33928323]Poor animals :c[/QUOTE] Most don't live long enough to register lower levels of radiation poisoning. And plants tend to be fairly well resistive. Instead of poor animals, you should be saying Yay for animals. The place is going to be teeming with wildlife soon enough. Just like the chernobyl zone.
[img]http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/12/28/1226231/558103-japan-inside-the-zone.jpg[/img] Why is there power to some of the lights? They didn't shut off the remaining power lines to the exclusion zone?
I think that one pig seems to be the one that's living well out of anything there
