Go to Namie, Japan and take a look around. It a small town and still a few miles from the nuclear power plant. Pretty wild. Entire city is abandoned (obviously). Cars and trucks just left in place. ![http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/4600520-3x2-700x467.jpg](http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/4600520-3x2-700x467.jpg) ![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/12/google-japan-628.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/12/google-japan-628.jpg) ![http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1302850.1364589394!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/fukushima30n-5-web.jpg](http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1302850.1364589394!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/fukushima30n-5-web.jpg) ---

By the looks of it, all roads are sealed off except for major routes - those look like they have police checkpoints to get in from what I see on street view. I wonder how long you’re allowed in? I think the Chernobyl tours are only 45 minutes due to radiation. ---

From what I read; the mayor of Namie asked if Google could map the town to preserve what happened. Citizens are still allowed in with government approval or brought in on a bus on very few occasions. You’re limited to about 3 hours inside the zone, have to wear protective gear/mask, and can only take small possessions back. I’m sure there are more restrictions on what can leave the zone too. ---

Havent seen any updates myself in awhile but I know a few months back things were still bad, radiation still leaking etc… This will probably be worse than Chernobyl if its not already. Unfortunately the japanese governemt are a buncha tards and dont like to ask for help or update the rest of the world on whats going on ---

They probably will, and everything will be contaminated as fuck. I also found an orange 64 Impala low rider parked next to a Lincoln Town Car low rider with gold wire wheels at a shop. A bunch of Cadillacs and a couple early 80’s Monte Carlos at another shop too. ---
