Pripyat was a young city with barely even a chance to begin. Relatively new the city was modernized and had a small population of people. But, after a fatal nuclear disaster the city was cleaned out. Now all that remains of this new city is remains. Cars rusting on the streets where they were last used, children’s toys and books lying around in classrooms that would most likely never be used again, and infant sized gas masks scattered among the debris. Animals occasionally will roam through here, or people will take safe guarded tours to this burial ground, but other than this, Pripyat is now a ghost town with no soul in sight.
This poor city was only around 16 years old when it died. How could something so awful happen to a place as innocent as this? There were children, elderly, and young couples just finding a beginning here, but then it was taken away from them. One nuclear disaster later and everything is gone and wiped out. I don’t know if someone can ever recover from this, or if they ever will. I can’t believe that this could happen to them, and when I read that children had been hurt as well, or even infants? It’s almost too much to bear. I really hope that the people can figure out a way to clean up this mess, or to fix what has been done. I think this just goes to show that you can never be too careful with things like this. But I wish that I could be there to help these people or do something for the families of these people, because it is such a hard loss to bear. This world is full of changes that occur through the hardest of circumstances, but I know that if they can pull through it something great can rise from its ashes.
