Would you spend time in Prypiat?


If you were given $5,000 for every night you spend there would you do it? You will be given a supply of food for a month. There will be a cameraman with you recording you.

New article on Chernobyl. Tourism?

Also I decided to add:
Would you go inside the Paris Catacombs for a million dollars and spend the night there.

Depends on my situation.

If was making average to good income I would not.
If I was desperate I would.

Also, I might even reconsider if I was going there alone, or with some other people to give me company.

 

The cameraman will be with you that does the recording. He cannot help you with anything unless is a life and death situation.

 

I most definitely would, you would learn so much. I'm sure you would be scared at times, but other you would be amazed at how those people could just stand by and not even try to run away from that place. But I would want some other requests as well. If I found something I would like to keep or donate, "not sell" to a museum I get to. The donations to the museum would also go in my name. I also want to be able to take my phone, laptop with a (Verizon Card so I can hook to to the internet), and a gas power generator so I can keep my phone and laptop charged.

 

I would 5g A day is bank.

 

Yes, I would spend time there. It looks awesome. $5,000 a day wouldn't be bad either ^_^

 

Yeah, but I sure as hell wouldn't sleep in any buildings. I'd make myself a shelter and just chill there

 

You guys understand that the radiation levels in the city have killed hundreds of people? The government of the country has hundreds of miles sealed off that very reason.

If you were to spend NIGHTS there the money you receive would probably not pay your hospital bills.

I'd do it for 500$ a day...

Edit:
"10. Is it safe to visit the area now?

One may certainly visit the Chernobyl area, including even the exclusion zone, which is a 30 kilometre radius surrounding the plant, all of whose reactors are now closed. Although some of the radioactive isotopes released into the atmosphere still linger (such as Strontium-90 and Caesium-137), they are at tolerable exposure levels for limited periods of time. Some residents of the exclusion zone have returned to their homes at their own free will, and they live in areas with higher than normal environmental radiation levels. However, these levels are not fatal. Exposure to low but unusual levels of radiation over a period of time is less dangerous than exposure to a huge amount at once, and studies have been unable to link any direct increase in cancer risks to chronic low-level exposure."

If you guys haven't heard yet, lots of people in Ukraine are having kidney problems just from visiting Chernobyl for a day or so...

Idk, I wouldn't...

 

Ehh, then I would probably go.

 

If I were to stay in a place with very little amounts of radiation, yeah, I'd definitely do it.

And yeah, I'd spend a night in the Paris Catacombs for $1,000,000 dollars. That would be the easiest $1,000,000 ever.

 

Are you aware of how dangerous the catacombs are? There's traps there that you can fall in. There's random holes in the ground. It's pitch black. Plus it is super scary. Would you risk your life for that?

 

I would definitely do it. I'd stay there for as long as I was healthy, it wouldn't bother me. I'm fascinated by things such as that.

The Paris Catacombs? Ehhh, maybe. It depends on if I have to move around or if I can just sit in one spot the whole night.

 

Do you get a torch?

 

If I was told that the radiation would be O.K for a day or two, I would easily stay in Chernobyl. As for the catacombs, it depends if I get a friend and/or a source of light. And about the falling in holes and such, no one said you had to move around, just stay tight for a day and get your money ^_^

 

150 grand to live there for a month? Definitely. The catacombs one would be an easy yes too, I'm not very superstitious.

 

Don't people still live around there anyway? I seem to remember a story I read about some old guy who just didn't want to move cuz he knew he was going to die anyway.

But yea, I would probably do it. Just give me a geiger counter so I know what not to touch.

 

No way man, I would freak out. I'm even freaked out in my own home at night. My house is about 100 years old, so that's why I'm scared of it and it's scary at night.

Yes to both.

150k for living in a place for a month where the damage was already done would be fine.

I would do far less than a million to stay in that place for a day, I would do like 100$ if i didn't have to travel lol
