I think I saw that Chernobyl one, how that turned out to be a hoax? I was planning driving with friends there one summer, and whole idea of this trip was inspired by those photos.

You will not be able to drive to Chernobyl by yourself. The only way to visit the restricted zone (~30km out from the plant) is by going with a tour company. Which is why the motorcycle thing is either a hoax or she is "highly connected".

  Do you happen to know how much tour company bills for such trip?

      I really hope they re-open the grounds. That's one of those reminders that needs to stay fresh in the memory of humanity.

  She claimed to be highly connected claimed her father was a well known physicist or biologist working there.
