I Want to Go to Chernobyl

After watching the HBO/Sky Atlantic series, yes I wanna go and see the power plant and Pripyat for myself. I see they do guided tours INSIDE the plant too. Count me in. That would be my perfect holiday!

I must be a ghoul or something, but it's fascinating despite the human suffering and misery it caused.

There is Russian bloke on you tube who explained a lot about that day, what HBO got right and wrong, and his personal experience, it is really interesting. Especially hearing it from his side.

@Bushmanoz Yeah, I've seen that. But regardless, I know HBO had to have some poetic licence to tell the story, but I think they did it justice with the miniseries?

They seemed to capture the sombreness of the incident and clear up.
