Watch Life After People on History Channel.

If anything, check out Americana in Ohio. That place really had nature take back what it owns in a sense!

Looking at those pictures of the surrounding areas of Chernobyl bring a whole new dimension to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Tchernobyl videos

The "Elephant's Foot"
This was the remnants of the spillage of the Americium, Plutonium, and Graphite core. If you had looked at it with your eyes, you would be bald, withered, and quite dead within a second.

Dunno if we can post pics but here's the shipwreck of The Plassey which lies on Inis Oírr. ''The islanders rescued the entire crew of the ship during a storm in the 1960s and strong Atlantic waves washed it high up on the shore where it remains.''

A total of 8,000 mummies are housed in niches along the walls of the Capuchin Catacombs. Dating back to the 16th Century, the catacombs were dug under the Capuchin Monastery in Palermo, Sicily, when it's original cemetary had been filled
