Yesterday Was The 33rd Anniversary of The Chernobyl Disaster.

[SSProductions]

I just realised that yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. I ask everyone to take a minute of their time and remember the atrocities that happened there.

If some of you don't know what happened, on the 26th of April, 1986, in Chernobyl, Russia, they were testing a new nuclear power plant. Because of corners cut by both the staff and the constructors the plant ended up exploding, and the whole place was forced to be abandoned. It is the worst nuclear disaster to occur to this day.

Up to 600,000 could have been effected by radiation from the place, and even now areas of the city are full of radiation. It's a ghost town.
