April 26 marks the 24th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. I traveled there in 2008 and shot a series of creep-tacular photos.

This picture shows the abandoned children's play park & Ferris wheel. Children have not played here since 1986.

I thought my piece on Chernobyl was going to run this Sunday (4/19) in the Philadelphia Inquirer -- but it actually won't run until next Sunday, April 26 -- the 23rd anniversary of the disaster. However, if you'd like a sneak peak, I have PDF files of the layout in all its glory.
