Nuclear Ghost City

            Wow, how could you even imagine walking through the desolate streets of Pripyat? Seeing nothing but nuclear waste and deserted hallways? Let me tell you, I would definitely pay a ton of money to go on that tour. Think about it, walking up and down the streets with nobody there, in this absolutely huge ghost town? I think it would be pretty freakin’ sick.
            On April 26, 1986, Chernobyl’s number four reactor exploded, destroying the entire city of Pripyat, which at the time was considered to be one of the nicest places to live in the Soviet Union. It looked like everything was new, and everything was modern. It was very popular, and when disaster struck, it was all gone. 50,000 people ended up evacuating Pripyat, leaving everything behind. Can you imagine how sad that would be?
            Right now, Japan is scared the same thing is going to happen in the city of Fukushima. The cost would be astronomical to fix, let alone the cost to fix all of those broken souls that had to move away from their beloved homes. Think about the people that lived in the city of Pripyat, everybody that had to leave everything behind. That would be sad.
