... in the thick darkness of fairly silent night of April 26th 1986, small town in Ukraine suffered from a powerful explosion. It woke up many citizens, but they didn't know what happend yet. They just saw distant buildings on fire and wondered why the air was glowing.
Today we comemorate all those who lost their lives due to Chernobyl disaster
All those who were lost during or after being on a "front line", fighting the effects of explosion. But also all those who were just unlucky to be affected by this.
Thousands of Pripyat residents left everything behind them evacuating in the following days. Noone expected the tragic scenario, everyone was affected.
We visited the place many times.
And to be honest being among that abandoned buildings does make you think. Seeing the scale of this disaster makes you respect the tragedy of that feral night of April 26th 1986. And all the nights that came later.
Chernobylite is an entertaining game, but remember - it is also a way to commemorate and respect that distressing event.
