1986: Couple’s Vacation to Chernobyl Gets Absolutely Ruined

Cindy and Bob Johnson were reportedly having a splendid trip to Russia before the historic nuclear meltdown cast a damper on the rest of their trip. “Oh, Cindy’s always getting sick on our vacations,” said Bob. “If it’s not motion sickness on the airplane, it’s historic levels of radiation. Looks like we’re gonna have to cut this trip short. Thanks a lot, Cindy.”

    If you come up with a cure, I still have this strange glow from Three Mile Island.

      Only if you’re one of the hero volunteers who went in to get pumps working and avert a Chornobyl disaster. Two totally different reactor designs

      Hey, I could use that! In dim lights, a little glow could be romantic.

    Wait a minute!
    No wonder, their holiday was lousy:
    THEY WERE IN UKRAINE!
    In Russia, they could get a great holiday:
    In Sochi (Black Sea) or Peterburg (Baltic) or even Irkutsk (Baikal)!

      and in Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky
      – all on the train from Peking!
