    2019’s Chernobyl mini-series once again brought the issue of the 1986 nuclear accident in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant back into the public eye.

    Some people deal with their curiosity around the infamous site respectfully, like this photographer who captured images of Pripyat, the area closest to the nuclear plant that exploded forcing a region-wide evacuation.

    Then there are the wannabe influencers, who flocked to Chernobyl to rack up the likes.

    This is who we are now.

    Back in May, worrying nuclear activity was observed deep within a damaged area of the shuttered plant, and large parts of Chernobyl are still too radioactive for people to go to.

    You don’t have to because somebody else has. Over to VICE:

    Abandoned and frozen in time, the site of the nuclear plant has posed unanswered questions for decades. Due to the scramble to leave the site following the accident, there was no record of whether the holding pools in Reactor Five stored nuclear fuel.

    For the first time since the 1986 disaster, drone pilots and researchers were able to go on-site and use state-of-the-art technology to answer some of those questions. Their Elios 2 drone explored areas not seen in decades while searching for signs of nuclear waste.

    Well, in you go:

    The old joke goes that locals can count the number of times they’ve visited the site on one hand – seven.
