The Story of an Abandoned Nuclear Lighthouse near St.Petersburg

2017/07/30

From first sight this abandoned lighthouse doesn’t attract much attention. What, haven’t we’ve seen some abandoned lighthouses? There are plenty of abandoned stuff in exUSSR. However this one is very special. It has a very dramatic story behind it.

So according to the legend, in year 2003 a few of Russian looters has opened the doors of this lighhouse. There they found something reminding a huge bank safe. They were happy to try open it and finally broke in. However this was not a bank safe, but a nuclear reactor compartment which contained Strontium-90 nuclear capsule. The looters took this capsule and instantly died. The capsule itself went thru their hands and then thru the concrete floor into the ground.
