On the 26th of April 1986 shortly after midnight, to be precise, at 1:23 GMT, there occurred near the Ukrainian town of Chornobyl a tremendous explosion at a huge nuclear power plant, followed by a gradual meltdown of the reactor No. 4.
A lot of photo's on how Chernobyl looks right now, can be found here. Pretty sad...
If you want to see Chernobyl in a 3D game, then play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The game environments show the real sadness of Chernobyl.
personally visited the Chernobyl area for two days in June 2006 with a friend and former resident of Pripyat. We toured the Chernobyl Plant (including the Reactor 4 control room), several of the abandoned villages, and Pripyat. I have posted a photo journal of my trip at:
