Alone, except for the photographer

This triggered an old memory of mine where I was talking on the phone with a guy named William Nelson (yes, actually) who was helping out at Chernobyl in the 90s trying to use wax to clean things up. I worked for a domain registrar and he needed some technical support, but he talked to me for like 4 hours. Really interesting guy, and he sent me a bunch of old photos from when he was at Chernobyl that I still have in my Gmail. IIRC he said he was able to view the Elephants foot, I'm not sure how exactly, but that he was also extremely ill after he was at Chernobyl.

This looks like a metal album cover
