what happened in chernobyl?

over the last week i learned about chernobyl.

chernobyl is famous for its nuclear power plant. on april,26, 1986 at 1 in the morning, reactor #4 exploded. the neighboring town of pripyat was evacuated within 36 hours. the residents never returned. less then 50 people have been to chernobyl until 2006. now there are guided tours to the area. it is your perfect example of a ghost town.
