indeed, the bit that hit me was the magic tree's, apparently glowing red so they buried them under some earth, how would react if you saw bloody tree's glowing knowing or maybe in their case not knowing it was radiation. pff
turns out it that specific part was lies :clown:

Actually I think on that site somewhere she says that she was fibbing about the trees glowing red. There are a lot of people that had a pop at her saying that she made almost all of that up so she ended up backing up her story. The only thing she had stretched the truth on was the trees glowing red. :)

Taking about weird glowing stuff.
My old boss used to be a civil engineer and diver, one of the jobs he had to do was swim in the reactor ponds at Sellafield. I know it sounds like a crazy job but this was 30 years ago. He said the fuel rods used to give off a type of blue-purple light glow, Cherenkov Radiation he said. He was told that as long as he stayed away from the sludge at the bottom and a metre away from the rods he was safe.
It's a shame she embelished the stories, I'm sure they'd still have as much impact without the glowing trees.

I was at a photographoc exhibition in London a couple of weeks ago which was photos of lots of normal Russians, and how they've been affected by the disaster. It was powerful stuff, really made me think
