Being 8, I remember my parents scrambling to get us (kids) out of town because they didn't believe that placing a wet towel under all doors would work...

Rusty,
I'm glad your parents did what they did my friend. At 8years old it must have been scary. I'm glad you made it.:thumbsup :thumbsup

Check this out. I was in student (construction) camp (to make some money) that summer. In August we have got some waffles for desert which were made in Pripyat next day after the blast! :wow When somebody looked at the package, half of the table (like 30 people) choked:eek:

My worst memories:
When the accident happened, I worked as a teacher in school in Kiev. In the middle of May (almost one month after the accident:angerr ) all children from the 2 million city were evacuated. Our school was evacuated in Dnepropetrovsk area. We staid there for more than two months. It was the worst time in my life.
1. Control and help children that did not whant to be in this camp
2. Parents visits were forbidden.
3. Any inforfmatiom regarding the situation in Chernobyl and Kiev was forbidden :rant:
4. Concerns about my family, they staid at home, in Kiev.
Eric
