Chernobyl


The Chernobyl disaster was an appalling nuclear accident that took place on April the 26th 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. 

Now, why do I know about this? Simple. Well, I was doing work experience yesterday and then one of my co-workers Pauline; said she wanted to visit Chernobyl. My boss, Grant agreed to leave me baffled in my own thoughts. So he showed me the Chernobyl disaster and I was flabbergasted. 

Apparently, the area is sort of now like a tourist zone, which I might one day travel to see because in someway I was really inspired yet felt great sadness for those that lost their lives that day. The people of Ukraine are still trying to recover from that traumatic day, even though it's been 27 years. Grieve is a dangerous feeling, one that you can't wish away.
