Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos
wrx writes "Elena has taken another motorcycle ride through the Chernobyl area, and has updated her site with a whole lot of new photos and text. The pictures now show several surrounding towns, the radiation level of the magic wood, and many more details inside buildings. After the dust had settled from the
original slashdot story,
Elena wrote 'who are those slashdot people? they swept over like Mongol-Tartars.'"
I'm counting around 100 or so hits every few seconds...
We'll show her who "those slashdot people" are.
Some people smoke. Others drive their motorcycle through the worst nuclear incident of all time. In my opinion, the second one sounds much cooler. For some reason Snow Crash comes to mind.
Re Giant Egg: "big egg as we passing 86th kilometer we'll see this big egg. This is where civilisation ends and where Chernobyl ride begin. Someone brought this egg from Germany. The significance of this egg is LIFE that will break through, life that will survive through radiation."
I don't think that symbolism will work. People instead will think of Giant Mutant Chickens and run like hell.

'who are those slashdot people? they swept over like Mongol-Tartars.'

Come on, this is slashdot ... motorcycle riding photo-snapping babe through nuclear wasteland ... show me a geek that isn't drooling by now.
"in year 1986 a guy named Akimov pushed wrong button and launched the biggest nuclear catastrophe ..."
Hmm, looks like they had a Russian version of Homer Simpson working there. He was probably looking for the "donut button".
Tell me about it! I'm still looking for the picture of her in leather and a shotgun strapped to her bike, riding down the road.

She's hot, she rides a motorcycle, and she has an accent.
:-(
I think I'm in love.
Of course, our kids will each have 9 heads.

This was the best Slashdot article I've read to date. It's got a pretty young Russian girl riding around on a Ninja motorcycle through uninhabitable nuclear disaster areas taking pictures of everything, including herself. That pretty much does it for me.
Where's my lead suit?!?
A post a day keeps productivity at bay.
For the visual information that came out of her camera, I'll gladly forgive her occasionaly poor command of the english language.
Very nice of you. But I figure her English is better than your Russian.

So you're suggesting trying to bluff your way past a Russian military checkpoint into a restricted area, using a fake ID you've assembled from scans on the net?
You first.
