Tourists are flocking to Chernobyl...

thanks to the very cool HBO mini-series. So, would you go if you won a free trip?
I wouldn't. I'm way too scared.
Yeah, and they might come back "glowing" with their experience there!
Exactly, therefore, why would anyone, not aware of might befall them...want to go there? But if they do, so be it.@PavlovsPuppy
@PavlovsPuppy Regardless of if it was or not, you are the one who asked the question... isn't there at least a part of you that has an interest in that area and how it's changed over the years since the explosion???

Sure, i get that there was this huge disaster that afeected millions of lives across half of the world - but time hasn't stood still in the area and the exclusion zone does have it's uses beyond the new tourism industry that has popped up there. There's the new solar plant that i mentioned before and it's even become a nature reserve for some endangered species... which is probably a fact not covered by the show.

In a way, some good things are finally coming out of one of the planet's darkest times - and they aren't spoken of as widely as perhaps they should be.

@HootyTheNightOwl I'm so confused why you're supplying this information?
No one disputed that changes have occurred. The reality is that we aren't scientists, so we can't personally answer how safe such an area would really be.
All I asked was would anyone go if they won a free trip?
I'm quite sure that everyone is capable of googling, and forming their own opinion, if they want to learn more about Chernobyl.
I feel like you want to deliberately argue over something so trivial, like you have some sort of chip on your shoulder.
Chernobyl was a powerful event..
Even discussing nuclear energy as a cheap emission free base load energy source will get you lynched by the greenies
I don’t see the attraction..

Yeah, I find the Soviet Union/Russia's history very interesting and have wanted to see Chernobyl even before that miniseries came out.

Chernobyl happened something like three days before my 16th birthday, scared the shit out of the whole world.
Chernobyl has been enjoying an ever increasing tourism industry long before HBO's mini-series of the same name was even a thing!!!

I did enjoy that series. The podcast that goes with it is super informative.

That's what really happens there. Duh.
