PRYPIAT (Ukraine): Chernobyl
1986年4月26日的普里皮亞季(Prypiat)，發(fā)生了令世界震驚的切爾諾貝利核泄露事件，這座曾擁有5萬(wàn)人的城市也于隨后失去了生機(jī)，被人類遺棄。
當(dāng)?shù)鼐用裨谑鹿拾l(fā)生后，只允許拿走少量的文件、書和衣裳。許多公寓看上去就像是被打劫過，許多房屋沒有維修已經(jīng)破敗不堪，由于大廈沒有被維護(hù)，屋頂已經(jīng)破漏，建筑材料散落。
Prypiat is an abandoned city in the Zone of alienation in northern Ukraine. It was home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers, abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. Its population had been around 50,000 prior to the accident.
Until recently, the site was practically a museum, documenting the late Soviet era. Apartment buildings (four of which were recent constructions not yet occupied), swimming pools, hospitals and other buildings were all abandoned, and everything inside the buildings was left behind, including records, papers, TVs, children's toys, furniture, valuables, and clothing, etc. that any normal family would have with them. Residents were only allowed to take away a suitcase full of documents, books and clothes that were not contaminated. However, many of the apartment buildings were almost completely looted some time around the beginning of the 21st century.[citation needed] Nothing of value was left behind; even toilet seats were taken away. Some buildings have remained untouched. Many of the building interiors have been vandalized and ransacked over the years. Because the buildings are not maintained, the roofs leak, and in the spring the rooms are flooded with water. It is not unusual to find trees growing on roofs and even inside buildings. This hastens deterioration, and due to this, a 4-story school partially collapsed in July of 2005.
