I've seen this a couple of times, this is the first I've heard of it being a hoax, but whatever - the photos and the truth of what happened in Chernobyl don't lie.

The question will we ever learn is an interesting one - I don't see anything inherently unsafe about nuclear power, but mixed with gross negligence/incompetance, it's a lethal mix. The Soviet regime at it's worst. The dis-information is stunning, the effects will last for centuries. This isn't such a bad place to live!

Does it matter if she was there on her motorbike?
She was there...she took photos and it brought attention to something in our history that should never happen again...

May we learn from it...I Doubt We Will

Maybe it matters, maybe not. However, you have to ask what kind of person goes to all the trouble of creating such a elaborate hoax.

Did anyone watch the recent documentary on the BBC about Chernobyl disaster. I found it far more attention bringing.

Its fairly widely accepted that this isnt all it seems. She did visit the area but she was one one of the guided tours and she didn't go anywhere without an official. All she photo'd was what was on the tour.
She hasn't got a special pass and her father doesn't work there.
All the same, trhe pics are excellent.

Hunt around though, there are lots more sites with phots of urban dereliction etc.
