Drones Explore Chernobyl 30 Years After Nuclear Disaster

Marking 30 years since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, this drone footage, captured at various times between 2013 and 2016, shows the nearby city of Pripyat and the nuclear facility, still uninhabitable due to high radiation levels.

In the video, a Ferris wheel and bumper cars in a fairground are seen lying unused, and churches and homes are unoccupied. The hammer and sickle, the symbol of the former Soviet Union, remains standing, albeit rusted, atop a deserted apartment block. Credit: Philip Grossman/ExploringTheZone.com
