00:00And one of the worst nuclear disasters humanity has experienced in recent decades occurred
00:05in Pripyat, Ukraine, on April 26th, 1986.
00:09In this regard, in 2016, the United Nations designated that date as the International
00:13Day of Remembrance of the Chernobyl disaster.
00:17The accident resulted in a very high number of deaths and injuries due to nuclear radiation.
00:22The tragedy was an event that took all its residents by surprise.
00:26They never imagined the magnitude of the problem, since after being evacuated they thought
00:31they would resume their lives in a few days.
00:33However, the story turned out differently.
00:36After 40 years of that human error, the city of Pripyat is considered a ghost town.
00:42There, vegetation and large trees have grown back, and nature has reclaimed part of that
00:47territory.
00:48However, high levels of radioactivity still persist, making human life impossible.
