it's creepy, especially that pic of a tree growing in an empty room <a href='http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter14.html' target='_blank'>http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter14.html</a>
And also w/ the whole deal about Stalker, after seeing the actual pics of the town its pretty akward the level of reality they matched in that game. Specifically the plant and the ferris wheel...
And shouldn't she have been wearing some radiation suit or something?

actually in open air the radiation is pritty normal its just the plants thats still radioactive and that is very high. (would kill you in a couple of minuets if u stayed in there).
oh and wooded house are bad cause wood "absorbs" radiation (well she said that im not so sure)

What I found particularly interesting were the magic trees. They were entirely red because of the RADIATION! Radiation is supposed to be invisible, so if there is enough of it to make trees glow red, we're talking about dying easily in 15 minutes. That just freaks me out.
Scares the hell out of me to think of some invisible force that could easily kill me.
It gives an interesting insight on how things would be, if a nuclear war would be fought. Just a huge nuclear dead zone. <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->What was hell for humans turned in a paradise for wild animals.

I was told that the disaster was caused by a military experiment where the scientists were attemting to find out what happened if they removed the coolant rods. However when the temprature got critical the scientists were unable to put the rods back in as they had deformed from the sheer amount of heat.

I suddenly have an urge to visit Chernobyl.
