"Disastrous tourism" in the Chernobyl nuclear plant site is compelling example demostrating amusing "trivialization" (or marginalization) of threat or disaster. Probably each disaster somehow gives birth to new types of amusement or alternative pleasures. Following the 9/11 incidet many emergency survival kits were produced, some of them are being used more as equipment for amusement rather than for survival (for instance emergency parachute, designed for bailing out of window of multistorey building, is being used by extreme parachutists; or iraqian children fishing by detonating grenades in a lake).The photo-session conducted in the abandoned amusements park in Chernobyl, showing the harsh reality of man/woman relations in Chernobyl area.
If some girl wants to date a boy in Chernobyl park, they for sure need to wear some protective suits, but these suits isn’t a big barrier when there is passion between them.
